"They kidnapped everyone and punished the people that tried to help them!" Okay, that's a slight omission of the truth. She was cheating to help. "And they forced people to give up years of their life for the freedom of their friends or make embarrassing admissions." Like liking her. She's looking at you, Holland. Ugh.
Ugggghhhh. "Shut up."
Marina pulls a face. "No. Hedgewitches. Like people not classically trained in magic." Except she had been. But Brakebills took those memories. Hacked away at the things she wanted to remember until all she knew was the existence of magic and not how to do it. And she'd dragged herself from the bottom up all over again. She has the tattoos (only the ink is more dark blue) to prove it. Hers go all the way up to 250, starting at her wrist and ending just about her elbow. And she'd eventually tricked Fogg into letting her get close enough to drug him so she could steal her memories back. It's not on her to feel bad about it.
"T word?" She's not sure she understands. "Yeah, neither did the others. But it's usually run by robots or some other magical thing." She doesn't claim to know what is running this specific ship, though. If she had magic glass, maybe she could tell.
