In the Outer Estates, Wax investigates the scene of one of the Vanishers' robberies with Wayne imposing personal and what he probably thinks, important, questions on Marasi about her affection for Wax. They discuss their theories before heading back into the city via train. There it is Miles attacks Wax and almost kills him in the their fight. Using his skills Wax is able to knock Miles from the train. Needing a place to lay low for awhile [[Ranette]] gets a visit she's most unappreciative of, shoving a shotgun in Wax's face. Wayne bribes their way into her affection by giving her Wax's aluminum gun, much to his dismay.
 
Ranette provides Wax with a set of Hazekiller rounds and a new gun - a prototype that she named "VindicatorVindication" after the [[Vin|Ascendant Warrior]]. Sending Wayne and Marasi on supply runs, Wax sits down to plot where the Vanishers will strike next. The Tekiel's [[Breaknaught]] seems the prime target set to make it's maiden trip tomorrow. With a craftily planned distraction, Wax manages to slip aboard the Breaknaught and it sets off with him inside.
 
The Vanishers show up as expected and Wayne and Marasi watching from afar witness how the Vanishers pull off their robberies. Lifting the entire car off the tracks, a canal boat and crane steal the Breaknaught, replacing the stolen car with a replica. In Miles' workshop he makes an educated guess that Wax is inside the Breaknaught. Wrenching the door out of its frame the inside of the safe is still. Miles notices the length of string tied to the back of the door from the interior of the safe, shortly before Wax, hidden inside, pulls the string tight and setting off the dynamite taped to the back of the door.
