Plot
Titan is still enraged by the fact that Marina helped Troy and Phones to escape from Titanica, so he consults the fish god Teufel for advice on how to get revenge on his enemies.
Teufel opens his mouth and a beautiful plant appears. Titan notes that the perfume is one he has never experienced before. However, he soon begins to choke as the plant consumes the atmosphere around it.
At Marineville, after witnessing her crying, Troy realises that Marina is feeling homesick. So with Commander Shore's permission, he, Phones and Marina set sail for Pacifica to see her father Aphony.
Titan has surface agent X-2-Zero take the plant in a jar to Pacifica, ahead of Stingray. When the crew arrive they are treated to a lush meal and Marina has a look at the plant, though she puts the cover back on before the plant takes effect.
After the meal, Marina decides to remain with her father, and Troy and Phones return to Marineville. On the return journey, they hear a noise at the hull, which is Marina carrying the plant.
On her return to Marineville, Marina gives the plant to Atlanta as a present. Later, in her quarters, whilst playing the piano, Atlanta becomes affected by the plant, but Troy rescues her just in time.
To test Marina's loyalty, she is called to Atlanta's quarters with the plant still present. However, she does not know that the plant will hurt her as she stays in the room, thus confirming she is still on the side of the WASPs.
