## Synopsis

Fancy Anansi is standing in his office watching over the town square of Te Rangi. Hundreds of men are being decimated by the Duo of Burrows and Kifo. He is very concerned. Mikey is trying not to cause too much trouble when he spots a female Sahuagin carrying a bundle of some sort and a note from Burrows. Fletcher allows them to come onto the ship and to the med bay. The Sahuagin reveals the bundle is actually a young aquatic elf that is unconscious. Mikey introduces himself and the Sahuagin replies that she is Liza and the girl is Chiens. Mikey is placed on watch duty and he does not comply. Instead he goes to check on Admiral Mint. Mikey stares at him for a second before opening the tube. He then stabs the torso of a man with the knife received by Crufire. Alarms start blaring. Back on the Armadillo, Dex is adamant on learning how to play the lute and attempts to steal one from Grimm, unsuccessfully. He then heads to Tecnic’s office to ask where the hell they are going. He also asks for a lute. Tecnic tells him anywhere but Gali. Sahge has been chained up for about two weeks and finally realizes he’s hella strong and breaks the chains that bind him. It alerts the guards and he fights his way out of the building. Sonney has been hunting Monkeys. It gets to a point where Jikelele seeks him out and warns him to aim his aggression at the defects NOT his soldiers. He agrees tentatively and asks why the General continues to help him. Jikelele mentions it is fully because he helped Kancane. Elsewhere on Thanda'Idwala, Mr. Doda and Wela are hard at work tending to their new Zida farm. Doda tests some of the product, a thing no drug lord should do, and it opens his mind to revelations on what he read in Sonney’s journal. He sends Wela to find the hybrid.

Jack Burrows and Kifo are DEMOLISHING Te Rangi’s citizens. Burrows is tired and sober but he’s holding his own. He spots Fancy watching over and heads towards the building with his initial intent in mind. He fights his way to the office and confronts the pirate lord. Fancy accepts his fate and gives Burrows his piece of eight but before the deed can be done, Fancy asks why he’s so hell bent on taking out the lords. Burrows doesn’t exactly answer but it becomes clear that he wants more than just the swell. Fancy turns to the window again and Burrows stabs him through the back and kicks him to the ground below. Kifo absorbs the soul from the square below. Mikey has killed the Admiral. He hides the weapon and flees. Liza enters Burrows office during the commotion and finds Hawk. He’s not super friendly so she stabs him right as Mikey enters the office. The boy immediately attacks. He is clearly outmatched and Liza tosses him through the bay window as he goes crashing into the ocean. Crufire notices the sounds and investigates. He realizes what happened and calls for a hunt on Mikey to his men.

Sahge is well aware of the location he is at and quickly maps out where his siblings and gear is. He gets his gear then heads for Wazi. The darfellan brother is both embarrassed and ashamed of what he’s done to his siblings but Sahge is having none of that. He snaps him out of his funk and they go save Riri. The brothers find their sister and she is in bad shape. Sahge plans to confront the man in charge, Kurudi. He figures out He most likely on The Coral so he fires a rocket at it and it explodes WAY more violently than he expected. Rather than confirm the shaman’s death they head south towards Ke Ani port to find a new ship for Etoile. Sonney is on his daily hunt when he spots Wela. He approaches and the simpleton keeps asking him to follow. Sonney does, quietly. He is led to the Zida farm on Fuck Rock where Mr. Doda is waiting for him. The drugee informs him of his knowledge about death and return. He assumes Sonney also knows but the half-blood is completely unaware of what he’s referring to. Doda then shows him the journal and it opens Sonney’s eyes to a whole new path to resurrection. The drunken crew immediately find Mikey and bring him to Fletcher. Crufire has his men leave the two alone as they walk down the shoreline. The quartermaster is so angry and confused that Mikey doesn’t know how important he is. He tells him how he is a descendent of Jasper Gnash, the pirate king. His name is Mikalis Gnash and he has pirate royalty in his blood. Kifo is chilling in a pile of corpses, waiting for Burrows to return. The man does and he asks to please take a nap. They discuss their next target and decide to avoid both Tecnic and the Ape King for now. They flip a coin to see if they go after Oristar or the Saint. Once it’s decided, Kifo does some crazy voodoo shit and pin points where they are heading next. They head back to the ship on Kifo’s new spectral horse. Absorbing souls has its benefits.

Tecnic is staring at his coin which now has an IV on it. He calls a meeting. He considers retiring on the spot and Dex takes it literally because, of course. He hands the coin to the rigger for safe keeping and hopes it’s not a major mistake. The Montgomery’s arrive at Ke Ani port. They attempt to bargain for a fishing vessel when the navy arrives, Kurudi in the lead. They attempt to fight their way out but are severely outclassed and get arrested again. Sonney comes up with a plan to test his newfound knowledge by sending Doda to the throne to tell the Ape King he “Found” Griffin-Thorne and the rest will be up to him. However, while discussing they realize it is far too quiet on the rock. Sonney hides himself and Doda is surrounded by hundreds of savages led by two half-Hadozee. Crufire and Mikey also come up with a plan involving the aquatic elf. Fletcher hands the boy a small locket and tells him to get away from there with the girl. In the distance a horse is riding up to the ship so Crufire knows he’ll have to deal with the captain. Mikey leaves with Chiens in hand and as he looks back, he sees Crufire getting stabbed through the chest by Burrows. Liza wakes up to find her friend gone and goes to confront Crufire only to find Burrows and Kifo instead. Burrows is too angered by what had happened to not only Mint but to her so he offers her the job of quartermaster since he can’t trust anyone ever. She accepts and the Kygrjoda heads to their next destination. Kifo stands above the corpse of Mint and he uses some voodoo to tell the body to send word to the chain devil that he is getting impatient.
