Pre-departure to the realm of the Gearheads

Ruby had departed via trump with Wynter, after being alerted by a trio of melonhead porpoises that she needed to pay a visit to the undersea realm of Rebma. The duo was gone for approximately a day, and when they returned to the Beast, Ruby had less personal cargo within her biological barge. Now it's on the outside. Her stomach is much diminished, and no matter how uber the ober's think they are, some things take some time to recover from. However, she's resisted advice to stay in her cabin, and insists on being on deck as much as possible. She's more amicable towards the idea of mercy, which may be due to feeling some relief or endorphins or something.
The fleet has been congealed into a new formation and what's been salvagable has been greedily secured for the next transit. The prisoners have been consolidated upon a few vessels for better security, rather than have them speckled amongst the fleet. That and it won't be long before they're set loose in their leaky, but technically not sinking, vessels.
Ruby has also brought a map and a painting of the next destination, having crafted the latter while she had some down-time in charcoal on parchment. A little visual reference to help Maggie sync with her when they pull the fleet to the next realm of gearheads and smoketech for repairs.
