He's taking her on a leisure drive across [[Legion (planet)|Legion]]'s deadly surface to an [[Ikerian]] settlement not far from [[Legion City]]. Their mission: [[shopping]]. | ||

They're willing to do a good deal too. After all, they know Irving Braxiatel of old... and better than this Brax knows himself. | ||
Everywhere they go and everyone they deal with, | Everywhere they go and everyone they deal with, Braxiatel's reputation precedes him. He has good friends and even better enemies... but one thing's for certain. Everybody loves Irving. | ||

''to | [[Irving Braxiatel|Irving]] takes [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] across [[Legion (planet)|Legion]] on a [[surface trawler]] to [[Ikeria City]] where he purchases a [[launch silo]] and a [[Sartak]] [[Explorer Mark VI]] from [[Galot|Lord Galot]], an old friend of the Braxiatel that Benny knew and who has a [[tracker]] placed on their trawler. The next day, Irving takes Benny to the silo and leaves her to explore and see what work needs doing whilst he contacts [[structural engineer]]s, providers of [[solar panel]]s and an [[interior designer]]. | ||
[[Ruth]] approaches [[Peter Summerfield|Peter]] and tries to get to know him, but he tells her that [[Antonio Tulloch|Antonio]] says that something is wrong with her and that he does not like Peter being around her. He leaves, telling Ruth that she will never meet Antonio. [[Jack (The Kraken's Lament)|Jack]] makes an attempt to ask Peter about him and plants a [[video bug]] in [[Peter Summerfield's apartment|his apartment]]. Later, Ruth and Jack watch and see Peter apparently talking to himself, but decide not to tell Benny about it for now. | |||
Benny finds that the [[computer]], [[EOIN]], at the silo has an extensive file on Irving, but it denies her access. The [[Surlioid]]s arrive in their [[spacecraft]] and Benny assumes that they are attacking until they inform her that they are [[plumber]]s, sent by Galot. After Benny almost drowns in the bath because of the heating valve failing, interior designer [[Julezand]] arrives and furnishes the place, although Benny finds the result ostentatious. At dinner, she and Irving toast to new frontiers. | |||
