In which the delm of Korval receives bad news at breakfast.

It probably goes without saying, but I can’t think of anything else to say about this chapter, so I’ll take this opportunity to point out that Dragon Ship, like Necessity’s Child, picks up at the end of Ghost Ship, so the events of Necessity’s Child are going on somewhere in the background the whole time. The situation Val Con mentions, which is being permitted to develop, might even be one of the situations that are described in Necessity’s Child, though it might be something entirely different; it’s not as if the Scouts have a shortage of Department-related situations to concern themselves with.
