[Knot]

Hey duke,
the firebug/arsonist is clear, right up until the word 'dance';
that, for me, was what opened up the 'lightening bug' image.
If you wanted to stick solely to the arson idea,
and you didn't mind the pun, you could change

their dance of sabotage and vengeance.
to
their reign of sabotage and vengeance.

I'll leave you to your triangulation

Best, Knot.
