Plot Summary
A message from Kalybus about their captured crew mates prompted the crew of the Muffin to do something rather than just pay the ransom. Robin put together a team consisting of Johnny, Skip, 46, Red, Cindy, the ninjas, and Admiral Graves to sneak onto Joppa and rescue the Captain, Marty, Belinda, and Shauna.
Red and Cindy sneaked into the auction under the names Lord and Lady Chemise, where they mingled with guests who can best be described as a "who's who" of people the Alliance had pissed off over the previous 15 years. While Red and Cindy did that, Robin and Admiral Graves went to negotiate with Kalybus about the ransom, Skip sneaked in as a waiter and slipped into the computer room, and Johnny played a delivery man who managed to get 46 into the compound in pieces.
Johnny and 46 were ambushed by guards, but one of the guards turned out to be Ha'at Bell in disguise and they were able to continue on their mission and met up with Robin and Admiral Graves before their meeting. At their meeting Kalybus revealed that it was all a ruse and just a ploy to get Admiral Graves there for an even bigger ransom. Cindy and Red were captured at the party, Johnny and 46 were once against found by the guards, and guards started pounding on the door to the computer room while Skip was trying to work. Kalybus revealed himself to be a fake, instead the Changeling admitted he had never planned on meeting them and sent the shape shifter in his stead.
Admiral Graves complimented the Changeling and his employer but revealed they weren't the only clever ones. When the Changeling commanded the guards to take them away he received no response as Mitch and Stan had run them through. The guards at the computer room did not find Skip as Jeff had come to rescue him. The computer manipulations Skip had implemented triggered Red and Cindy's cell door to open and they were able to go and free the Captain and the others. Admiral Graves revealed that he wasn't who he appeared either and changed into Ha'at Bell who proceeded to kick the Changeling's ass, while the real Admiral Graves, carrying Ha'at's swords came to Johnny and 46's aide and allowed them to finish their work.
Everyone made their escape, with Robin and Ha'at jumping over the edge of a balcony, much to Robin's trepidation, and the ninja's following them, with Johnny piloting the getaway shuttle and the explosives they set blowing up the facility and many of the villains within.
In the end it was revealed that Kalybus had planned the whole thing as a trap for disciples of the King in Yellow many of who were dealt a heavy blow since they had sent high level officials to the auction.
