Summary

Having agreed to help a group of young runaways that go by the name the Sailors of the Ark, the Notion begin to gather information for their mission.

Fourteen Fifteen, Grand Magnificent, and Tender Sky head toward Big Garage's terrestrial transport center to secure passage onto the floating city ship, only to find things more complicated (and tightly scheduled) than they'd hope. Gig Kep-Hart and the sentient Torch Unit named Yam, meanwhile, visit with members of the Ark to piece together clues about Big Garage's layout.

But preparation is always only preparation, and when the team finally takes to the skies, they run into a few unexpected surprises...

0:00.0	The children argued over what it was the entire trip back, dragging it over the dry cracked clay towards big garage, whirring hover motors struggling under its weight, their own muscles soar from digging it out and clearing a path through the scrap.
0:21.0	Valena thought it was a massive drinking bowl, its shape and ruddy metal similar to some of her
0:26.8	mother's tableware. But Bijool disagreed. This was definitely a shield, she said, like the Saints from the old Crown of Glass used.
0:37.0	Never mind that it didn't have any mount or grip to hold it from or that it wasn't made out of any sort of glass at all.
0:43.4	As for Josterra, well, he said it was some sort of sled or vehicle, but that was mostly an excuse
0:49.7	to ride in it as the other kids pushed it along. But when Besterinians saw what the flock of pre-teens was pushing, he knew what it was at once. He was a gleamer, after all, one of those those deal makers who paced the border of the crash yards,
1:05.8	eager to offer too little in exchange for salvage too heavy to keep carrying.
1:11.6	And he wasn't only a gleamer he was the best on Gift Three. And that's how he
1:16.6	knew that it wasn't a shield or a sled or a bowl. It was a fingernail. It was the fingernail of something great, something gone, something he thought he could maybe help bring back.
1:30.0	Days can be long, but these ones were short.
1:35.0	Just hours after he'd gotten in touch with the Mindotti Special Projects Division,
1:39.0	an entire dig site was set up under shadow and cloak, silent pulleys and noiseless wind
1:45.3	blasters, feather lights and root rumblers, an entire division of secret
1:50.3	researchers devoted to collecting and analyzing dust particles.
1:55.0	Soon Besterenion and Biedrel were posing with the local resident orbit note,
1:59.6	the sort of photo op that can turn a civil servant into a career politician, the sort of
2:04.7	photo op you don't publish until you're sure you're right. I still think it's a
2:10.0	kind of a shield, said B-jewel.
2:13.8	And as yet another covert transport from Big Garage landed, filled with those desperate to find
2:19.0	the colossal body of a protector,
2:21.4	Besterinian simply nodded.
2:24.1	Yeah, a kind of a shield. Welcome to Friends at the Table, and actual Play Podcast focused on Critical World
