Ice Break Run

The sea ice cracked early and three nets are out with catch that won't keep.

Requirements

Meet the harbour master at Sandscale Bank
The harbour master taps a wet chart. 'Three nets out past the ice line. The ice broke a week early. If we don't pull them today the catch turns and the season's done.'
Pull the first net at Sandscale Sea
The first net comes up heavy with deep stinger and a half-frozen whale calf. You cut the calf loose and haul the rest aboard. The water is already shifting.
Set a warming conduit on the catch
The conduit lights cleanly and the catch stops turning. You'll have a few hours before it fades. Move.
Pull the ice-locked nets at Sandscale Lake
The lake is half ice. You crack a panel. The nets come up heavy.
Refresh the conduit on the second haul
The conduit takes the new haul without complaint. The harbour master will sort out whose net belonged to whom. Not your problem today.
Pull the last net before the ice
The ice is already knitting back together at the edges. The last net comes up clean. You row out of the closing channel with the side scraping.
Stabilise the full haul at the conduit
Three hauls warming at once. The conduit hums and holds. The harbour crew start carrying barrels off the dock before you've finished tying up.
Report the net and take your share
The harbour master pulls the season's ledger and counts out your share. "The net's yours. So's the percentage. You earned both."
