Doc

In the meantime Doc gets to work with the pickled lizard. Not even the weirdest thing he's worked with. He tries to combine them with materials on hand in order to facilitate bringing out any latent regeneration in it. Isolate it so that other things don't get in and, say, terribly poison someone. Maybe give some cast off parts to the cat, who doesn't seem to much care for him yet. It isn't good to be on a cat's bad side.

Once they've arrived in port that could be a time to take a break. He appears up on deck and follows in the captain's wake.
"Aye it's about time to try and find out if my life work's been looted"
