But it is not oil. Like a horde of army ants, a swarm of black particles suddenly attacks the ship, killing everyone aboard, while the ship itself goes up in flames. What they discover, however, will be beyond anything they could have imagined. Inside, they find a bottle taken from Napoleon's 'lost cellar.
