The salt-stained air of the captain’s cabin hung heavy, illuminated by the eerie, gloomy glow of a massive, pallidified harpoon arm. Gasharpoon crouched before the newly reanimated android, his hollow left eye fixed on the machine while his prosthetic right claw held tools. The pirate, a figure of maritime legend, watched as the android’s optical sensors flickered to life, scanning his form with a vertical holographic beam. The harpoon’s pistons hissed, a mechanical counterpoint to the crashing waves outside. Gasharpoon remained still, an enigma of flesh and metal, waiting for the creature he had scavenged and restored to speak.
