we rise and we fall and we break
Cannonfire doesn't work, going dark doesn't work, the nets don't work, nothing really works. Not for whatever they're out here trying to accomplish. Seems like they're in deep waters. (buahahah.. sorry)
Aurelia's helped with the netting but, unfortunately, it doesn't deter the whale hot on their heels. For half a second, she wonders if it might've worked if the ship had stayed still. Maybe she can argue with Jack about that later, if they ever make it out of this.
They've got more nets to work with. It's a ship. There's nets everywhere, right? Barrels of provisions. Likely they won't run out of something so simple and necessary. So Aurelia makes use of them the only way she thinks might help everyone. She doesn't know jack shit about Safrin's intention or the weird light or what starwhales can do, so the only thing driving her to do this is her own sense of self-preservation.
She guides the crew to cast more weighted nets over the water around the starwhale, since the Ark is getting about as close as it probably ever will. No, not directly onto the starwhale - or at least, that's not the intention! But perhaps it will deter the ghost whales attempting to eat it... and buy it some time... and maybe keep them from coming after the Ark afterwards? One can dream, right?
Once the nets are down, she briefly looks out across the water to see if it worked.
Aurelia's making one last effort with the weighted nets, but this time they're thrown towards the water near/around the star whale, to bog down the other ghost whales. She's watching to see what happens.
