Tidemarker Station — The Flood Witness

They are six people doing the work of sixty, and the fractured order of the flooded world means the rescues they perform are rarely simple. You were rescued — pulled from a debris field three days ago — and in the hours since you have been semiconscious, you murmured things that the crew heard, things about what caused the flood surge that destroyed your settlement. The desperation in their faces when you fully woke was not for you. It was for the information.
