Incident at Airhaven / The Shifter meets a Stalker (a bit of fanart)
This is taken from chapter 12, "THE GASBAG AND GONDOLA" in MORTAL ENGINES by Philip Reeve. The main power of AirHaven has just been cut and only the self contained lights (as per the film version) and outside light are on. Shrike is just about to say "HESTER SHAW!" I've taken liberties with this, by rights they should all be standing up asking questions of each other after the power's been cut, but I think this is more dramatic. We see Anna Fang at the right table with Hester Shaw and Tom Natsworthy, talking to Captain Khora of the of the gunship Mokele Mbembe. A couple of local louts are at the middle table, playing poker. At right is a punter with a sex worker, and in the background with can see the Stalker SHRIKE (last of the Lazarus Brigade). Just behind him is a bystander, in front of poster for a Pennyroyal book and lost America.
Just coming out of the W/C is Jenny Everywhere a.k.a The Shifter (not in the book but she can shift anywhere), on her way to the table at front, but who's wondering what will happen next. The character of Jenny Everywhere is available for use by anyone, with only one condition: This paragraph must be included in any publication involving Jenny Everywhere, that others might use this property as they wish.
