[[Steris]] helps [[Wax]] prepare for his speech before the Elendel senate, Wax's son giving him two drawings to take with him. Wax enters into the chamber to give his speech, arguing against a bill that would give the Elendel governor more power, especially over the Outer Cities. Wax argues that the bill is a stupid idea, saying that it will only make the Outer Cities more furious with Elendel, and incite civil war in the Basin. He presents the senate with sixty letters from Outer City politicians, who want to work with Elendel peacefully, without conflict. When [[Melstrom]] stands to argue, Wax presents the chamber with a letter from Houses [[House Hasting|Hasting]] and [[House Erikell|Erikell]], bribing him to support the bill. Though he had the goal of delaying the vote by having Melstrom investigated, the vote on the bill proceeds anyways with Melstrom, Hasting, and Erikell excluded from the voting. The bill passes, with 122 for and 118 against.

Marasi and Wayne move down the tunnel, finding old footprints. They come across a few guards playing cards. They sneak past the guards and find a natural gap in the rock, which lets them see into the cavern where the majority of the criminals are. Marasi counts thirty-seven armed men and women in the cavern, including the two guards. Wayne identifies the leader of the group, a Cycle in the [[Set]]. Marasi wants to get backup and return, but Wayne argues that they should go ahead and go in. Wayne agrees, but as they head back, they stumble across one of the guards relieving himself in the tunnel. He cries out right before Wayne takes him down, and Wayne and Marasi are forced to go with Wayne's plan.

Wax returns to his chambers in the Senate building, frustrated with himself. Steris tries to comfort him, telling him they did all that they could. Wax finds an envelope, with an earring inside.

Marasi catches up to the Cycle in an underground cavern with a ravine running through it. He shoots at Marasi, but she uses a Allomantic grenade that Wax had charged to repel his bullets. As she approached him, his pistol was also flung away. She tells him to surrender, but he just smiles and taps Feruchemical strength, growing larger and stronger. He says that [[Trell (Trellism)|Trell]] wants her specifically, and thanks her for coming to him. She stabs him in the arm with a glass dagger, but he heals immediately. Marasi realizes that he's using Hemalurgy to grant himself extra abilities. The Cycle's eyes start glowing red, and he tells Marasi that Trell is choosing hosts to bestow his power on. Marasi manages to shoot the Cycle three times in the head, though he starts to heal. She frantically uses her knife to remove one of the four spikes from his chest, as his eyes grow a more vivid red. He tells her that the end is coming, either from ash or the men of gold and red. Marasi pulls the spike out, killing him.

Once the Malwish on the ship notice Wax, they send a skimmer down to collect him and bring him up to the warship.

Max interrupts by saying he needs to use the bathroom. An annoyed Daal leads them to the restroom, and him and Wax continue talking. Daal makes it clear that he thinks the [[Bands of Mourning]] belong to his people, and Wax says that he isn't the person to discuss the matter with. He and Max leave the ship, and head back to their home. Steris gives Wax a note from Marasi, saying to meet her at the mansion.

She outlines a plan to fake the next weapon drop as a sting operation, using MeLaan and the Cycle's corpse. She shows Reddi the spikes, and gives him the regular three. When she meets Wayne again in the lunch room, he steals her sandwich and reveals that he does know about the two men looking for him. He promises to take care of them, and they leave to go meet Wax.

They then move to the safe box to perform tests with various acids. Marasi discovers from their notes that they have been trying to split [[harmonium]] into [[atium]] and [[lerasium]]. So far, however, the university has discovered everything Wax has and more, making his contributions seem minimal. Steris sees that the trellium is repelling harmonium.

;Plot Summary
Wayne attacks Dumad, grappling him to stay close. Dumad is annoyed, and tells Wayne to fight Getruda so that he can face Wax. Wayne holds on to Dumad, even as he flies through the air using Steelpushes. Dumad manages to latch a set of handcuffs onto one of Wayne's wrists, and eventually knocks Wayne off him. While Wayne fights Dumad, Wax engages Getruda, eventually using a doorknob and other pieces of metal to repeatedly batter her and break her bones. Though she uses her metalminds to heal herself, Wax's attacks show him where her metalminds are. He uses a hazekiller round to blow her arm off, separating her from her source of healing. When Getruda comes at him again, Wax kills her with a shot to the head.
Wayne locks the free end of the handcuffs onto Dumad's wrist, and Dumad uses a Duralumin-enhanced Steelpush to send them both flying into the air. Dumad tries to replenish his metals, but finds that Wayne had stolen his vial of metals from his pocket. They fall from a great height into a building. Dumad is killed by the fall, but Wayne survives due to his healing. Wax meets up with Wayne, and puts in his Hemalurgic earring to talk to Harmony.

;Plot Summary
Wax and Wayne clear out the ship and arrive at the bridge, and find that the ship's controls are wired to the bomb and rigged to explode if anyone messes with the ship's course. Wayne figures out a way to lessen the explosion of the bomb, using bendalloy and steel. Harmony says it could work, and tells Wax to get out the vial he'd been given. Wayne already has it, having traded for it earlier. Knowing that his plan won't need Wax, Wayne uses a Steelpush to send Wax flying off the ship and far out into the sea.
Harmony informs Wayne that the vial contains a small bit of lerasium, created by Wax's experiments with splitting harmonium. As Wayne goes down to the hold where the bomb is, Harmony tells him that he's the only person in the world who can stop the bomb, and that he's the best there is. Wayne asks if stopping the bomb will earn him forgiveness, and Harmony tells him that he doesn't need forgiveness anymore. Wayne asks for a hat, and Harmony gives Wayne his own.
At Harmony's command, Wayne creates a perfect speed bubble. He encloses all three barrel devices, but excludes the device that coordinates the bombs' explosions. He burns duralumin and bendalloy at the same time, compressing time immensely within the bubble. One by one, he fills all three barrels with water and Pushes them outside the bubble, detonating the ettmetal inside. The bubble drops, and Wayne is consumed by the explosion.
