Aurelia barks orders at the crew, most of whom listen. The cannons are loaded, but there is nary a ghostwhale to be seen. These whales have encountered the Ark before and are quite savvy about what she can do.
And what she
can't.
But, the bounty hunter wants an explosion, and an explosion she'll get. Multiple cannons fire—one operated by
Neos among them—and the balls go sailing outward. One strikes the starwhale as it flounders, the creature bellowing a mournful wail. The Ark sails toward the whale, her bow and port-side aglow with starlight from the creature.
As for
Gideon and
Arialla? The eagle will notice that the starwhale's fins are
bound by something. It looks clearish and strangely thin, almost like very large netting. Clearly this is why the creature is unable to swim away, or return back to the sky. Arriving fashionably late is the priest, his fishing boat looking quite lacklustre compared to the Ark.
While the crew might not be entirely savvy about the mechanics of cannons and the
arc (get it) of cannon-ball trajectory, the ghostwhales are a quick study. The hull of the Ark is assaulted by the boney-back of one of the whales as it rockets toward her from beneath. Currently uninterested in
Gideon 's little boat, the other two ghostwhales swim as vertically as they can beneath the starwhale, emerging near enough to him to try and grab the strange constraints around his body, to pull him beneath the waves.
