Rogue's Roost is a small northwestern base operated by the Green Storm that was introduced in Predator's Gold. It was originally owned by the air pirate Red Loki before the Storm took over it by force.[1]
It was bombed near the end of the second act of Predator's Gold during a botched mission by Tom and the Lost Boys in an effort to rescue Hester and loot from the Green Storm.[2]
Description[]
Rogue's Roost is located about 200 miles to the southern tip of Greenland. It is a rocky island that towers into the sky. Seagull droppings litter the rocks and railings of the place. There are scorch marks on the rocks were the Green Storm fired their rockets at Red Loki's defenses.[1]
Hangar[]
The hangar was where the Jenny Haniver was kept while Hester was kept prisoner and before she escaped with Tom.[3] It was blasted out of the rock, and globular fuel tanks are nested in between narrow crevices like spider eggs.[1]
Memory Chamber[]
The Memory Chamber was where Stalker Fang was kept by Sathya in an attempt to reawaken her old memories.[4]
It is shaped like a hollow sphere, where images are plastered on the walls. In the middle of the sphere is a platform where the Stalker Fang resided[4][3] until the Lost Boys bombed the place.[2]
Prison[]
The prison was where Hester was kept when she held prisoner. It is mentioned to be white on all sides, and the sea can be heard outside.[4]
History[]
Mortal Engines quartet[]
Predator's Gold[]
Widgery Blinkoe was called to the Roost after reporting that he had spotted the Jenny Haniver in Airhaven. Blinkoe was then brought to Sathya, where she assigned him to find the airship and bring it back to the Roost.
After Hester sold Anchorage to Arkangel (in an attempt to win Tom back), she was drugged by Blinkoe and taken to the Roost. There, she was interrogated by Sathya for the "belief" that she and Tom killed Anna and stole the Jenny at the end of Mortal Engines.[5]
Dr. Popjoy, an Engineer who escaped London, was mentioned to be working at the Roost to create Stalkers out of Anna Fang and other animals.
Near the end of the novel's second act, Tom is sent out as a diversion by Uncle to help the Lost Boys loot the place. He is arrested and nearly beheaded by Sathya in front of his partner when Caul activates the crab cam bombs from Ghost of a Flea, allowing them to escape but botching the operation.
