Henry brings the twins to Bell with a broken grappling pistol taken from Rexford Kaylock. Bell rebuilds it to fit the Assassin gauntlet as a rope launcher. Evie repays him by fixing fuses on the Clock Tower at Westminster for a telegraph line that competes with Starrick's. He then devises a new smoke bomb formula and makes Jacob a second launcher.

Bell fits the gauntlets with a dart mechanism that fires a hallucinogenic serum, which turns to gas when heated. The twins recover cable taken by the Blighters at College Wharf and warn him about a Starrick poison shipment.
