Bad Habits was the fifty-eighth Bernice Summerfield audio story released by Big Finish Productions. It was the second story of the Road Trip series.
Publisher's summary
Meet Sister Bernice — newest initiate into the order of Saint Celestion. Such is her devotion to the faith that she and her young companion, Sister Ruth, have undertaken a pilgrimage to the planet Agora, birthplace of the blessed Saint himself.
The pilgrims aren't alone, however. Also on the planet is a team of archaeologists searching for the lost tomb of Celestion — a subject in which Sister Bernice seems curiously interested...
In her quest to unearth an ancient relic that will point the way to Legion, Bernice will face some fearsome challenges: the dreaded Blood Beast of Thaloon, the randiest Bishop in the galaxy, and an ancient cult with some very bad habits indeed...
Plot
Benny and Ruth pose as nuns to gain passage on the Sisters of Celestion's spacecraft to Agora, where they have been led to believe that the route to Legion can be found using the Sphere of the Serenity in the Talishante Monastery. During the flight, Sister Caitlin is found stangled with her own prayer beads and a funeral for her, but Mother Aurelia asks Benny and Sister Marianne to keep the fact that she was murdered a secret.
Bishop Synesius welcomes the Sisters to the monastery, the resting place of Saint Celestion., and gives them a tour, telling them about Melville Trout's excavations and the curse of the Blood Beast of Thaloon. In the morning, Benny uses a computer to hack into the archaeologists' approaching ship and delete the records of Professor Bunny Hare, a dendrochronology expert whose identity she intends to steal by keeping her in suspended animation.
