Captain Alden daydreams about crab cakes while the mission briefing plays. The crew descends to the reactor level, where a coffin suspended above a warp-tainted power core holds whatever the Fabricator General was too afraid to name. Chaos symbols cover every surface. Kelrana needs her soul stone or she is damned forever. Simsel has no idea what forge world he is on. Roos makes tea with a delicate touch. Whatever is in that coffin, they are about to find out.

Deeper into the manufactorum, the crew finds a conveyor belt that builds servitors, hexagonal worker pods full of blood, and an eight-pointed star painted on the floor. Kelrana reaches for her soul stone and realizes it is gone. Roos stands in a chaos circle because he was told to. The elevator dings. Above a pulsing reactor core, a metal coffin hangs from chains -- and a red-robed tech-priest is doing something terrible to it.

Roos kills a scribe on instinct. Aloysius wires the corpse back together as a meat puppet for interrogation. The half-dead man begs to die; the crew makes him sing sea shanties first. Somewhere below, a rogue Magos is committing tech-heresy on an industrial scale, and the servitors have stopped taking orders. Roos dunks the flesh-ball into a basket. Nothing but net.

A new crewmember boards the Bird of Paradise: Simsel, a 5'4" Armiger pilot with a toothpick and a death wish. Aloysius laces his stogie with something that erases the concept of pain. The crew lands on Forge World Avachris to investigate a quarantined manufactorum where servitors have gone rogue, a production line has run out of flesh, and the Administratum staff have been eating each other for a month. Welcome aboard.

The auction goes sideways. Rival factions fill a repurposed mining habitat -- corsairs, mutant cultists, tech-gangers with radium pistols -- all bidding on a stasis coffin that nobody is supposed to open. The crew tries diplomacy, deception, and checking if anyone at the table is a psyker. Kelrana talks to her people. Alden tries to outbid a chaos cult. Roos sizes up the other Ogryn. Everybody tastes iron.

On a Forge World moon, the crew waits in line for a space elevator while shoving milkshake-bloated civilians out of the queue. At the top: a black market auction for the stolen stasis coffin, attended by an Eldar sex goblin on a hoverboard, a Ratling riding an Ogryn, and a chaos cult with more money than the captain has ever seen. The bidding war is about to get very literal.

The Bird of Paradise needs cogitators to escape the Gilead system. The only supplier is a Forge World Fabricator General who communicates through exploding servitors and demands the crew retrieve a stolen stasis coffin -- contents unknown, questions forbidden. Aloysius has an orc head wired into the ship's comms. The crew descends into the underhive to find answers, and instead finds a chop-shop, a gang with red bionic arms, and an economy built entirely on backstabbing.

The crew discovers a storeroom full of smuggled Emperor's Tarot decks and a monk who broke his vow of silence. A kitchen full of Gretchin becomes a three-hour war crime that nobody asked for. Aloysius tries to build a car engine inside a Grot. The thigh bone is reportedly in the solarium. Getting there requires surviving Roos's creative problem-solving.

After six hours of unconscious napping in a monastery bathroom, Captain Alden wakes up to find Kelrana and Aloysius playing rock-paper-scissors and Roos spinning on a pole wearing a paper hat. The War Boss is dead. The orcs are scattered. Somewhere in this building is a sacred thigh bone, and nobody has checked the obvious room yet.

The monastery is now a full orc infestation. A room full of Burna Boys with flamethrowers nearly kills the captain. Kelrana goes unbound with her psychic powers. Roos considers stealing Alden's tricorn hat to become interim captain. The thigh bone is still, somehow, nowhere to be found. At this rate the orcs will run out before the crew's patience does.
