Swamped

You suppose, out of all the potential problems you've got right now, the one where an enormous creature wakes up and starts rampaging is the hardest to deal with. So you should figure out if it's even alive.

As you approach it, though, you hear a distinctive caw. You look around and don't see anything, though.

"I hope that's not someone just making bird noises," you grumble. Then you glance back to the beast and see a crow perched on its head.

"Caw," says the crow. It doesn't seem inclined to elaborate, beyond repeating it as you get closer.

"Okay. So this thing is a matter for the gods. Fair enough," you say with a shrug. Then you glance at Carma, and point to her. "How about her?"

The crow says nothing. Guess that means it's okay to check up on her.

You can see she's still breathing - other than that, you can't tell much at a glance. She doesn't seem to have the slicer on her, though - maybe she tossed it during the fight and didn't bother to pick it up.

Well, this is your best chance to restrain her. And there must be some way to get an unconscious prisoner below deck, since you woke up there and didn't feel like you'd been dropped off a ladder. Probably in the captain's cabin, if you were to hazard a guess.

Okay, you suppose the first step in that is getting some ropes. And the easiest way to get those is probably from the window-washing mechanism. So you start heading over there.

But suddenly, you catch a brief glimpse of an increasingly-familiar slicer, a moment before everything goes black.
