Chapter 49: Warning
When night finally fell, it was Aethe who moved the out of the trees. Marco watched her flit from cover to cover, getting to the first boat and disappearing down its hatch like a greased shadow.
“Explain how this is safe again,” Marco said. “Please, Elisa.”
“It’s not safe. It’s a mission involving dozens of pirate ships.”
“Just tell me it’s safe, then tell me how it works,” Marco said, more urgently. “I didn’t ask for honesty.”
“So the way this works is because of the Ghost Fuse. You remember that much at least, right?”
“Right.”
| Ghost Fuse A system-generated pot of tar. Lighting a mass of tar will light any other masses from the same bottle at the same time. Generally used to synchronize cannon fire. Ghost fuse cannot be combined with other ghost fuse batches. Each bottle works with itself and nothing else.
