- Jamie Wallace was aboard the slave ship for less than two days before joining the rebellion.
- The slave ship's corridors were narrow, lit with dull amber, and smelled biologically warm, metallic, and faintly sweet.
- Jamie and Natasha found human bodies modified without medical purpose and hybrid biological structures, some still alive.
- Behind a forced-open door, they discovered human heads mounted on display brackets, with eyes moving and brains functioning.
- Natasha ordered Jamie to shoot her if they were ever to be recaptured by the Astri.
