On its way to High Harbor, the passenger ship recovers Conan, Dyce and Jimsy from the sea; and after asking Conan to look after Lana, Dr. Lao dies contently. Sometime later, the old and new inhabitants of High Harbor conduct a double celebration surrounding Dyce and Monsley's wedding and the relaunch of the Barracuda. Many of the new settlers, including Conan, Lana, Jimsy, Tera, Luke, Monsley and the Barracuda's crew, leave to establish a new colony on Remnant Island, now expanded by the cataclysm into a new continent.
