The Alloy of Law

At the Elendel railway station, Wayne inspects the new Breaknaught armored train car. Disguised as an elderly woman, he questions a guard about the train’s security, pretending to be idly interested. Though he gains important information, he eventually arouses the guard’s suspicion. Wayne creates a diversion by feigning a panic attack and firing blanks. As the guard chases him, he runs through the crowd, firing blanks to clear a path. Once out of sight, he creates a speed bubble and changes his disguise, becoming a Tekiel nobleman and berating the guard. Minutes later, he changes disguises again, becoming a guard.

Soon after, Wax arrives, also disguised as a guard. Marasi signals from a rooftop, prompting Wax and Wayne to stage a fake gunfight. As planned, Wax pretends to be wounded. Wayne shoves him into the Breaknaught’s high-security vault and locks the door, convincing the guard captain they thwarted a robbery. The train departs with Wax hidden inside.

That night, locked inside the Breaknaught, Wax prepares a dynamite trap. From a nearby hillside, Marasi and Wayne watch the Vanishers attack the train. The gang kills the guards with a rotary gun, then uses a massive crane on a canal barge to lift the Breaknaught car from the tracks, leaving a replica in its place.
