| “Eyes on the deck!”
Forbid them to look. You can't really stop them, but you can at least discourage discussion. They won't like it, but it's safer. |

Grumbles and mutters
“First Officer! Take that man's name!” But they quieten soon enough. -1 x Terror |

| A Darkness
Three of the false-stars wink out altogether, as suddenly as closed eyes. The pattern that remains is as hopeless and meaningless as cast dice. Somewhere, a zailor begins to sob. +2 x Terror | |||
| Rare failed event (50%) | |||
| The Alarming Pig
“Pigs,” one zailor sighs. “It's always pigs.” What's wrong with pigs...? The bo'sun shakes a solemn head. “Never ask about pigs at zee,” he insists. +1 x Terror | |||
| Successful event | |||
| The Zee-Bat
“Bats is luck!” a gap-toothed stoker avers. All agree. Leathery but lucky. -5 x Terror | |||
| Rare successful event (40%) | |||
| The Rayed Wheel
One zailor claims it resembles the sun; another, ‘a Hindoo mandala-cross’! A third suggests ‘the rose-window of Chartres Cathedral’. This excites mockery. Nevertheless, the reaction is positive. -5 x Terror |
