 Marlo and Hugh come to an agreement whereby in exchange for certain services from Hugh and his boat Marlo will attempt to bring about a miracle of the Tender upon the figurehead, to bring life to it and fuse it with the Crimson Mother. Fortunately for all involved this attempt to combine the powers of the divine and the Flux doesn'​t lead to the horrific explosions it potentially could have done, and even works to some extent. At the completion of the proceedings,​ the figurehead sprouts branches which ensnare and entwine around the ship, holding it securely in place. It is now quite firmly attached, though is not meaningfully alive in its own right. It remains unclear how the Crimson Mother feels about having this water-pouring chunk of dead wood wrapped around it. Marlo and Hugh come to an agreement whereby in exchange for certain services from Hugh and his boat Marlo will attempt to bring about a miracle of the Tender upon the figurehead, to bring life to it and fuse it with the Crimson Mother.

 +Marlo returns to the forest where he previously had to leave behind the clouded leopard he had befriended, the Flux not being a suitable place for such a creature. Finding it again and using the Tender'​s power once more to reconnect with it and become closer to it, he gives it the name Claude.
  
 Simon informs the Civil Service of what has taken place and they thank him for the information. He asks if they know anything about the Abnegator and they tell him of their theory that he is an anomaly that is capable of producing more anomalies. They ask him to keep an ear out for any further information on this being he can find. Simon informs the Civil Service of what has taken place and they thank him for the information.

-  * The extent to which people are subject to these effects and their duration depends on the extent to which they are exposed to the ocean. Whilst shaping an ocean using the artifact, a Wayfinder is constantly under these effects to a substantial extent, as is Hugh Branch so long as he has points of his barrier assigned to it. Those travelling on the boat whilst the artifact is being used will be caught by some of the spray, and as such may feel these effects to a minor extent whilst aboard. Those caught up in the ocean as it passes over land will likely subsequently experience these effects to a substantial ​extent for a few hours after the boat has passed.+  * The extent to which people are subject to these effects and their duration depends on the extent to which they are exposed to the ocean.

   * The ocean produced whilst using this artifact is in some ways... odd. The angles at which waves on it move just don't seem right, and staring at it for too long or thinking about it too hard can be headache-inducing. Oceans shaped using this artifact **always** count as warped with Impossible Geometries as per the "​Understanding of Impossible Geometries"​ Epic Tree, allowing use of the abilities from that tree.   * The ocean produced whilst using this artifact is in some ways... odd.

   * Furthermore,​ these oceans seem to be in some way linked to Carleon, and count as a very minor draconic incursion into the world as Carleon'​s touch gently falls on all that the waters touch. This has no immediate mechanical impact and just comes across to all but the most familiar with that particular dragon as something slightly odd about the artifact, but may at GM discretion have additional effects where appropriate.   * Furthermore,​ these oceans seem to be in some way linked to Carleon, and count as a very minor draconic incursion into the world as Carleon'​s touch gently falls on all that the waters touch.
