The Sea Hates a Coward
“They finally had a plan and, so long as Whina remained too scared to interfere with it, the freedom to make it happen. Their first priority while that freedom lasted was to spread the idea of rebellion beyond one easily-sterilised cave at the arse end of the ship.
To that end, interviews were held, of a sort. Wrack would ask questions of the zombies one by one, testing how much they had taken in of the makeshift interrogation. As soon as one’s eyes slid out of focus, or as soon as they resorted... to singsong repetition of familiar words instead of making a sensible answer, he shoved them aside.
Those that seemed to have worked out what was going on, he shoved towards Mouana, who started telling them, punctuating her speech by shaking their shoulders, how to wake their fellows—and where the overseers kept their radios. After all, the fiction she had come up with on the spot, of knots of conscious dead clustered around stolen radios, seemed a workable plan once they thought about it, and so was worth putting into practice.MoreLess
