The week following the sea thaid's attack was a flurry of activity aboard the ship. Every member of the crew, from the Chimaeric Demons to Erik himself, worked to repair the damage and keep the vessel afloat.
The main deck, which had endured the thaid's assault, required extensive repairs. However, fixing the ship in that situation and with the damage in that bad place wasn't easy at all. The damage was on the hull, near the deck. It was there that the sea thaid attacked, and where the waters completed the job.
Below deck, the situation was equally dire. The hull breach allowed water to flood in. The damage had been partially repaired by now, but not completely. If the water was high enough, it could rush in. Only the lower part of the damage had been repaired, but in the end, water still entered from above.
However, the initial patch job had prevented them from sinking outright, but a more permanent solution was needed.
