==Plot Summary==
Colette, Ivy, Tord, and Fennis are ready to head home after finishing another grand adventure in Niqamui, walking through an alley, following not far behind a halfling woman. Suddenly, arrows rained down on their heads from above! The halfling woman was struck several times in the knee and our intrepid Firebreathing Kittens also found themselves suddenly turned into pincushions. The voices on the rooftops above them shouted down at the woman about her debt not being satisfied and her collateral no longer being enough. Fennis looked around, noting there were no doors in the alley, but there were fire escapes leading up to the roofs. Noticing a disturbed flock of pigeons, he attempted to climb the nearest fire escape but ended up breaking off the rusted piece and falling back to the ground. Colette dashed over to the halfling woman, soon identified as Dr. Laurel Ravenwood, and led her behind a wagon full of cabbages to cover. Tord, pulling out his sugar glider, Shug, tossed him in the air to glide up to the next flight of ladder and unlock it. Ivy, climbing on her giant pangolin, Duchess, was able to reach the next platform. Hearing the Kittens advancing on them, the attackers ran off, shouting about Dr. Ravenwood owing them.
The Kittens helped Dr. Ravenwood to a safe location nearby, the soup kitchen she runs, which was locked and empty. Questioning her about the attack, they learned that she had borrowed money from the notorious Safiosi family to save her soup kitchen, giving them her building as collateral. She hadn’t been able to get enough money to pay them back in time and now they were demanding she pay. She had hatched a plan, after reading about it in the Celebrity Rag, to steal the Mountain of Light (a giant diamond on a necklace) from whoever was wearing it at the Leroux Theatre concert that evening, then going to the White Pawn at midnight to sell it for the two million she needed to pay back. With the new injury to her knee, there was no way she could complete her plan. Realizing she’d been rescued by THE Colette, a famous burglar, Dr. Ravenwood begged her to help steal the diamond.
The Kittens agreed, Fennis reluctantly, and they hatched a plan to infiltrate the Leroux Theater disguised as concert-goers. Fennis and Tord would set up a distraction and Colette, along with Ivy, would steal the diamond.
When they arrived at the theatre, Ivy recalled she had a family box there and was able to get the whole group in without needing tickets. An older fairy man and a tall, young human man were playing on the stage, playing “Come Sail Away.” Fennis was able to spot the holder of the necklace in a box across the theater, a woman waiting impatiently alone. Tord recognized her as Marabelle Noble, his ex-flame who disappeared after the death of his brother.
Tord and Fennis came up with a plan for a distraction right before intermission. Colette and Ivy snuck around behind the box with Marabelle inside. Fennis shot Tord with a blank, covering him in fake blood. Tord spun around, draping across the balcony, pretending to be dead, as the crowd panicked below.
Marabelle exited her box and Colette “bumped” into her, attempting to steal the necklace. Unfortunately, Marabelle’s hair got caught in the chain. Ivy tried to soothe the situation and distract Marabelle but was unsuccessful. Marabell stabbed Colette with a knife. Colette tossed the necklace to Ivy who jumped onto Duchess and escaped. Tord, seeing the attack, used Shug and his rocket backpack to spacewalk across the open auditorium. Tord arrived just in time to see Colette strike Marabelle down with her sword. 
At that moment, a great lurch occurred and the whole theater shook. Ivy opened a door to escape, only to find the theater was slowly rising into the air!
A man across the street, smoking a cigarette, shrugged at the sight and entered the nearest bar, hitting on the bartender. This was Marabelle’s partner, Gorb.
Ivy raced back inside to tell the Kittens what was happening as Fennis joined the group. Tord strapped the unconscious Marabelle to his back and they decided to find a place to hide. Ivy led them backstage to the green room, hidden away deep in the back. To her surprise, the performers were back there and she quickly recognized them as her Father, Forest Green, and her best friend, Reed Darling. She distracted them by talking as the group hid among the racks of clothing.
The Kittens decided to find the source of the mysterious flying theater by going to the only place they hadn’t been, the roof. Ivy continued to distract her father and friend while they escaped and then joined them on the ascent to the roof.
On the roof, they discovered the theater was surrounded by a forcefield bubble controlled by a giant, smooth, metallic sphere. The theater was slowly being dragged into space.
After some investigation by the group, they noticed the sphere reacted to sound. Tord sang “Come Sail Away” to the sphere and a doorway opened up. 
Upon entering the ship, they found a lot of instrument panels and screens, as well as three tablets on segways all with the same face. The three segways, at the same time, ordered the Kittens to leave, saying they were acceptable. The face said they only wanted the two musicians and would space everyone else in the theater.
The Kittens did a great battle with the Segways, eventually defeating them. Then, they all jumped to the various stations to try to reverse the spaceship. Tord dealt with engineering issues, like the core malfunctioning and the life support going out. Colette manned the guns and attacked the mothership to prevent them from firing upon the spaceship when they realized it was under Kitten's control. Fennis took over system controls, such as opening the door to the spaceship to allow their eventual escape. Ivy managed to turn the ship around and descend carefully back to the safety of the planet.
Once landed, the Kitten left the theater and took Marabelle to urgent care to be healed. They went to find Dr. Ravenwood to give her the stone, but she was also in urgent care. Deciding to take care of the transaction themselves, the Kittens went to the White Pawn to trade the diamond.
Tord stayed outside to keep watch. Ivy, Fennis, and Colette entered. Fennis noticed there were a suspicious amount of people inside the shop and lit a flare, allowing the Kittens to see everyone around them. Ivy and Colette approached the woman behind the counter. She asked to see the diamond and Ivy handed it over. Another woman weighed it. Then they said that the debt to the Safiosi had been erased and the interest had been covered. The people in the shop were Tess and Camila Safiosi, the people who had shot at the Kittens in the alley!
They took the diamond and Dr. Ravenwood’s soup kitchen had to remain closed, the Kittens tricked out of their money.
Colette apologized for their first date being a disaster, but Ivy thought it was incredible and agreed to a second date.
Tord went back to urgent care, but Marabelle was gone.
Fennis doesn’t know it yet, but the face on the screens was Hortense Vyze, the person who abducted students from Fennis’ school.
