With Sasha back on fighting form, UCOS investigate the death of a talented cricket prodigy: star of the pitch and apple of his father's eye - yet loathed by his teammates. The death was recorded as misadventure, but with new evidence pointing to infighting, UCOS are soon bowled over by the list of potential murder suspects.

In Pondicheery, India, the team meet a local man who is killed while trying to get the Lost Sword of Tamerlane to Judson – the wrapping has a map leading to Tamerlane's treasure. The map leads to the island of Nicobar where Judson is greeted by name as "The Chosen One" who is scheduled to be married to Nunda. The natives got the idea to lure Judson to help them when they saw a partial article that mentions he is a "pirate killer" because they need help against Quon bandits.
