Captain Nightshade's intention to steal two mystically engraved organ pipes from St Sucre's Grand Opera House is complicated first by a fire, and then by the rest of his crew. Clay Golem Raku is always eager to get things right and follows instructions (very) literally before losing its cool and swatting away a platoon of Marines. Clance, the only crew member possessed by a Demon (as far as we know), can't resist "all the shiny things" and finds himself between a fire and an angry crowd. St. Sucre's great and good, before cutting the rope securing a candelabra and shooting to the roof. Jamie, the ship's Chronicler, prefers a quiet read and keeps her angry djinn in its bad-tempered place, but seeing everyone's aura is a strain that she can't contain when confronted by a previous employer. Through it all Captain Nightshade keeps his cool (and his organ pipes) so they can help him chart a route through the Deathwaters next time in...Rapscallions.

Emilie snoops her way into so much trouble that only letting out her inhuman side can save her. And Sophie/Johannes commits herself to aiding Salomé's hit job on an American colonel, whether she wants it or not.
