Benny and Ruth are bitten by insects and sleep for six hours. They are found by Jack, who charms Neon when she enters the room and accuses Benny and Ruth of being [[Friends of Stone]]. She tells them that Mina went on a solo expedition into the [[swamp]]s and [[Allie (The Slender-Fingered Cats of Bubastis)|Allie]] informs them that the Dean has been killed by the Bal. Benny makes her way to the Cats, leaving Ruth, increasingly overwhelmed by the information in her head, with Jack. She meets [[Grey Line]], a Bal [[ambassador]] investigating the Dean's death, and speaks with him about the Cats, but she is soon captured by three servers who shoot Grey Line non-fatally. | Benny and Ruth are bitten by insects and sleep for six hours.

Ruth learns from Allie that the Dean is rumoured to have been spending Star Seasons' [[money]] on a secret project and is questioned by the servers about the theft of the Future Retrieval Device, which transmitted a [[distress call]] when Jack tried to open it. | |||
Jack decides to hide the Future Retrieval Device in a Bal [[village]]. On the way, he meets [[Rufus (The Slender-Fingered Cats of Bubastis)|Rufus]], the boy who found the Dean's body, and learns that the Dean was touching Grey Line's [[antenna]]e and tripped, causing himself to be pierced by the spikes that extended from Grey Line's body due to the unpleasant stimulation he had caused. Jack heads to the village, throws the Device down a Bal [[toilet]] and asks about Mina, but he then receives a call from Ruth, who tells him that Mina has shown up at the compound. | |||
