Amidst securing vital resources and questionable squids, the group's fates intertwine, leading Pyrig to a clandestine meeting with the mysterious Azumeth.

In the aftermath of their harrowing ordeal, the changelings Polish and Danny deliver a chilling revelation to the crew of The Bird, disclosing the existence of a contract targeting their lives. The crew, somewhat unfazed by such threats, opts for a celebratory escapade. Their revelry leads them to a series of bars, where the night takes an unpredictable turn.

At the first bar, Oma receives a mysterious note, urging them to depart. Sera, captivated by the festivities, indulges in a spirited evening, with Captain Xoothar dutifully watching over her. Meanwhile, Oma and Pyrig decide to retire early.

The crowd evacuates, and Xoothar's investigation reveals an attempt to ignite a trail of gunpowder, which he manages to extinguish. Beyond the bar's doors, the scent of smoke fills the air. The establishment is ablaze, and a peculiar woman hangs perilously from a window. Suspicion thickens as her ever-shifting face reveals her true intent – to claim the contract on The Bird. In a daring move, Sera hurls the woman into the flames, her cryptic declaration, 'Boom!' ringing through the night. The bar erupts into chaos, but miraculously, no lives are lost.

Amidst the tumult, Sera and Xoothar make their way back to The Bird, the night's revels yielding a blend of mystery, mayhem, and a renewed sense of camaraderie among the crew.

"My eye is upon you," it intones, sealing their fate in cosmic dread.

A split-second decision divides the group as Sera and Oma embark on a daring rescue mission for their comrade, while Pyrig tends to the wounded Vin and ultimately seizes a box of galaxy orbs, fleeing with Vin to the sanctuary of The Bird.
