=== A gas station ===
Cate, Junebug, Johnny, and Ezra debark at the floating gas station, which changes its position along the Echo nightly. Cate talks with Junebug about the roaming storm upstairs and possible flooding and damages, but says she looks forward to the mushrooms that it'll bring, and she can search for them with Val. The gas station attendant tells Junebug he has crystals for sales, and recounts how he used to reside in Cleveland, Ohio, living off inheritance in hotels, [[File:Gas station.png|thumb|left|''AL: GLORYITISGOODTOBEAMONGFRIENDS!'']] until he ran out of money and took up his current job. [[Norm]] enters and talks with Junebug, mistaking her for a woman named [[Loretta]] who he was planning to meet for a date. He mentions he may head down to the [[Rum Colony]] later, and asks for her advice on his online dating profile. Junebug browses the available food, drink, and crystals; in deciding to pour some coffee for herself into a styrofoam cup, she accidentally drops the pot. Meanwhile, Johnny talks to a man named [[Al]], who tells the story of how, looking for an ice floe, he became lost on the Echo without a lantern and almost starved to death. About Preparing to eat his last apple, he noticed it was rotten, infested with a maggot which hatched just as he was about to take a bite. Thinking about the futility of the insect's life, he paused and, in that moment, its lower abdomen lit up. Using the lightning bug's glow, he found his way out of the complex river cave.
