Since they began smuggling goods on the Alastor they had accrued a number of things to help move large crates around, including low steel bases with small wheels at each corner. A reasonably sophisticated pulley system designed by Abderos and Epizon helped them haul heavy crates onto these bases so they could be moved around easily.

It still took the combined strength of Epizon, Phyleus and Lyssa to roll the heavy tank into the big hauler on the side of the ship, and the task was made more awkward by the creature hovering directly in front of Lyssa as she pushed, her unblinking face inches from Lyssa’s straining one. When the creature moved the water barely rippled, making Lyssa wonder if it wasn’t water at all, but a thicker viscous substance. But she was sure she could hear it sloshing about whenever the tank moved.

The creature looked exactly as she had since they brought her on board, an iridescent shimmer across thousands of tiny scales and wide green eyes that looked eerily intelligent. Once the tank was in the hauler the three of them all crammed in around it and they began to move up towards the open deck. Phyleus was out of breath and panting slightly, but when he noticed Lyssa looking at him he stood up straighter and tried to shorten his deep breaths. She couldn’t deny the satisfaction she got from knowing he wanted to impress her.

The hauler stopped moving and the doors slid open. The tank creature’s gaze snapped immediately to the open deck. She moved, quicker than they had seen her do before, so that she was at the front of the tank. Then she looked from Lyssa to Epizon and began swimming in wide circles, the water hardly moving around her but her speed increasing. Lyssa shrugged, unable to quell the nerves the creature gave her.

‘Let’s hope she thinks this is a good idea too,’ she said, and Epizon and Phyleus got behind the tank with her to start pushing.
