Kor awoke in darkness, laid on a bed of waxy wood, damp on the inside. A few shafts of dim light peeked through boards above, interrupted by the occasional creak of movement with an accompanying shadow blocking the light. The whole room gently rocked side-to-side over the waves, and what could be made out suggested that he was currently located in a ship's bilges. Damage was still notable, but some limited self-repair had already occurred during standby using some nearby metals. The ceiling was too low to stand and Kor was not yet sure if he could stabilize properly anyway. Observing his surroundings, he found little of note but the shadowed form of Robert the Builder - a muscular blond, bearded human man who nevertheless had clearly seen better days, now stripped to his skivvies. Some of his wounds had healed a little, most looked like they had since become infected in this damp environment without proper treatment.
At Kor's first sign of movement his head jerked, and he tried to mutter something, obviously in pain. "...Machine. Can you...ugh. Can you speak?", he managed to get out in a trade tongue.
