Cable News
The Blighters have taken Bell's crew hostage and seized his cable. The twins free the crew and recover all three reels, then have to escape when a Blighter cargo boat spots them.
Second visit
Later, one twin returns to help Alfred Fleming, head of the Queen's Secret Service, plan an ambush on Templars smuggling dynamite in through the docks.
Why the darts matter
Bell has just fitted the twins' gauntlets with hallucinogenic darts, and he has learned that the serum turns into a gas when heated. That is why the full-sync goal asks you to shoot fire sources near groups of Blighters at the wharf: the burning dart releases the gas among them. While recovering the reels the twins also find that the Blighters are shipping poison for Starrick, which they report back to Bell.
