Welcome to a Halloween story with my police sims! It starts out with a murder case, and ends as… time travel? Or are things not as they seem? This chart shows the characters with their current life...
After all, what does it matter that a bunch of lowly municipal cops is making fun of him or that the lyrics come out wrong? Playing the instrument makes Sigstein happy and he gets the definite feeling that someone has listened with interest. His host, probably.

At one point in his life Sigstein has craved praise. But when he had again and again failed to win some, he had stopped and instead focused on rising over everyone else. For a moment, however, the old desire is back. And what better way to rile up the cops than making their hosts cheer Sigstein? Maybe he can even force the bodies to clap, with Gavin’s, Tina’s and Chris’ minds being fully awake, yet unable to do something about it? Yay, that would be neat!
And so Sigstein plays on, for himself and for their hosts:
♪♫I saw the opening maw of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there; ♪♫ ♪♫Which none but they that feel can tell — Oh, I was plunging to despair. ♪♫

“Hey, did you guys here that just now? Sounds as if this song is about your Captain!”
Daniel and Chris jump up from their seats! Gavin and Tina quickly follow.
“Did you just insult Hank?!”
“Nope. I insulted Hank six years ago. Today I think I ridiculed him.”

About five seconds later Sigstein is perfectly integrated into the team. At least if “integrated” works as a synonym for “buried beneath”.
Rika tries to pull Daniel away from the spellcaster whom he is kicking repeatedly. Chris pulls at Daniel with the intent to free him from Rika’s grasp – while also kicking Sigstein. It is unclear what Gavin and Tina are arguing about – probably who gets to eat Sigstein (although a vampire and werewolf are perfectly able to share a meal, with one wanting the blood and the other the meat).

In the crow’s nest Connor turns his head towards the commotion. For a while he watches emotionless. It’s just his co-workers acting immature, nothing to worry about. In fact, the police captain feels reminded at his early days at the DPD.
What eventually convinces Connor to inform Hank about the brawl is the fact that his friends do not beat up Sigstein, with his track record of having utterly humiliated them, but the body of an innocent seaman who has lived two hundred years ago.

“Okay, that’s enough! It’s detention for everyone! What did you even think, Sigstein, provoking the other kids… your shipmates, I mean, like that? Five against one, really? You used to be more clever!”
“Yeah, my apologies, that’s entirely on me. I forgot to check my spell repertoire. The idea was to defend myself with basic Deliriate and Despairio and incantations. But turned out my host is restricted to fire spells. Can’t cast those on a ship!”
The hair on Hank’s neck rises. Has Sigstein just casually solved the mystery how the “Diamond” had found her end? Maybe this brawl has happened in the past, only for different reasons, and Sigstein’s host had resorted to fire magic, spelling doom for them all.
And also… has Sigstein just admitted that he had known his host to be a spellcaster, too, but not disclosed that detail to the team?!
