"The station is pinned to the surface of Aigul. Once it was a roving vessel, the Fortas Kettle, and floated freely from place to place. Now it is stuck on spines of fluke-rock."
Aigul is a huge, stationary lorn-fluke. When a British zubmarine, the Fortas Kettle, was sunk by its spines, London turned the whole mess into Station VI.
Eat a Cactus
It seems this Fluke's needles contain memories and emotions. Eating these needles allows one to experience memories and emotions, not unlike Gaoler's Honey. Like Gaoler's Honey, the spines are addictive, and are responsible for the crew's situation.
(We may occasionally break down a wall or two. Don't mind it.)
The Crew
"When there is nothing left of my skin but the spines of Aigul, then I will be allowed to rest," says the First Mate. "Until then, if I cannot alleviate these sorrows, I must at least bear witness."
The crew of Aigul, using rubbery rituals not unlike the Shapeling Arts, are capable of growing regrets into spines. No, not backbones; rather, they are protrusions, similar to those of the Lorn-Fluke. The First Mate is an expert in this field, to the point that this unfortunate person of mysterious and indistinct gender is quite deformed.
These spines are used to store regrets, in the hope that they may possibly alleviate them, though this process is extremely addictive as ever. The Captain of the crew, a formerly jovial man, is in a state of perpetual ailing and injury; a particularly obnoxious wound opens every time the First Mate grows another regret. Due to the crew's fierce dedication to their Captain (to the point that the First Mate considered wedding him), none of the crew members can leave.
(The First Mate would give up anything for the Captain, except us.)
