This page was so much fun to draw. Why haven’t I drawn diagrams before? I know it’s kind of “cheating” given how strict I keep to the grid, but this was a blast. And I’ve always been a big fan of the Baxter Building. Kirby loved drawing diagrams and cutaways.
I don’t actually know what those grates in the middle of decks of old ships are for, so I just assumed that’s where they launched the escape pods.
Oh, and guess what I just found? A Tumblr full of maps of fictional places. Go get your nerd on, everyone.
Those grates are usually hatch covers directly over the cargo hold. They open up so cranes can load and off-load heavy cargo containers directly into or from the hold of the ship. Nice diagram. Is Lyca trying to hide what she’s reading from Gilgam in that last panel?

Indeed! We last saw it at the end of the last chapter: http://www.waterphoenixking.com/comic/volume-14-page-45
Aha! I see, thanks.
