The Cairn · Vessel
ISV Rampart
Fleet grey with escort manners, standing off the throat lane with her lamps up — she did not move a metre in three days, and the trade side priced that. Up close her captain is smaller than his ship suggests and considerably more exact: he arrives with scrubber substrate for a hull twice the Tallow's size, fitters to pass it through her sleeve, and a demand that nobody comes down that ramp until the Warden has characterised what is in the hold. He is not being unreasonable. That is the problem.
