The story

The Revolutionary United Front terrorizes the countryside and enslaves many locals to harvest diamonds, which fund their increasingly successful war effort.

Captain Poison tries to take the stone, but the area is suddenly raided by government troops.

Archer wants the diamond so he can sell it to Van de Kaap and retire, but Coetzee wants it as compensation for Archer's botched smuggling mission.
