'''Rysn'''

[[Cord]], filling in for the chef [[Nlan]] who stayed ashore, discovers that the ship's grain stores have been infested by grubs. Once again, the crew assumes that this is a bad omen and that the voyage is cursed. Using notes she took while studying under [[Vstim]], [[Rysn]] averts the crisis by directing [[Drlwan]] to dock and initiate trade with a group of [[Hexi]] Nomads. Since the [[Hexi]] are strict vegetarians (but consider grubs to be plants) they are willing to trade the bad grain for jerky made from the nomad's dead animals. [[Nikli]] recounts his success warming up to the crew, and converses with [[Rysn]] about how he ended up among the Thaylen people.

 

'''Nikliasorm'''

Separately, [[Nikli]] finds a private moment to contact the other [[Sleepless]] without revealing his true form to [[Rysn]]. He reports on the status of his efforts to dissuade the expedition. Although working to maintain the secrecy of [[Aimia]], [[Nikli]] argues that he should be allowed a last attempt to dissuade the crew, before being forced to kill everyone aboard - as happened on the ''[[First Dreams]]''.
