History[]
Mortal Engines[]
Orme Wreyland takes Scuttlebug to the Rustwater Marshes, where a trading cluster is set up. He pawns off Tom and Hester to potential buyers before Anna Fang intervenes, deciding to buy them both.
The auctioneer threatens to turn Fang into the authorities, but she kills him, inciting a fight between her and patrons, allowing Tom and Hester to escape.
As the duo escape, they are hunted by Shrike, who was freed from Sharkmoor Prison by Thaddeus Valentine to kill Hester. Tom helps Hester onto a nearby traction city, and they jump from wheel to wheel before landing on a platform. Shrike effortlessly follows them.
Hester steps forward, allowing herself to be killed by Shrike, but Tom pull her back and Anna Fang uses the Jenny Haniver to shoot the Stalker.
Fang then allows only Hester to get on, leaving Tom behind as Shrike's next kill. The young woman vehemently protests, but Fang ignores her. Hester throws Tom a rope she found in the Jenny, but Fang slides Shaw a knife, insisting that the young man must die.
Hester throws down the knife, allowing Tom to be free from Shrike and to climb into the Jenny.
