how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

[ The volcano is a confusing and strange place for Malak, but once he gets out, his disorientation eases - the trappings of this place are familiar in a way that the space ships of the fleet never could be. He doesn't waste much time in finding the forge, and the blacksmiths.

They seem to think they can teach him. Like a hands-on craft experience.

Malak is patient, quiet, as they explain what to do. And then when he gets his hands on the tools, he does it, better than they did.

It's not long before the blacksmiths have gathered around him. Malak is teaching them a better method of folding metal, to distribute carbon among iron, to forge stronger and more flexible steel. It turns out, he realizes, that the methods known on the Spinward Islands were actually quite effective - and somewhat advanced.

Eventually, he also goes out to the marketplace, wandering in slowly growing unease. The forge was one thing: there, he was distracted by the familiarity and by the joy of it. Here, he's starting to realize how boxed in these people are. What those rules really mean. ]

[Nunnally is about to leave the market with a bag of goods in her lap. But as she makes slow progress in her dinky "authentic to the times" wheelchair, she spots a familiar and perturbed looking face in the crowd. When they get closer she'll wave her hand to catch his attention and roll her chair towards him]

Malak, hello!
