 Benny decides to attract the attention of [[Time Lord|those who monitor time]] by changing it and, in the meantime, accompanies Mycroft to the [[mortuary]], learning that there has been a series of [[murder]]s all involving the number [[7 (number)|7]] but otherwise apparently unconnected. Having previously thought that he might be inventing a pattern where there was not one, he has now received a [[visiting card]] containing only the word "seven" written in different [[language]]s and in both [[Arabic numeral|Arabic]] and [[Roman numeral]]s. Benny recognises the [[corpse]] as that of [[zookeeper (The Adventure of the Diogenes Damsel)|the zookeeper]] at [[Regent's Park]]. Over the next few days, they solve cases together and are watched by [[Straxus (The Adventure of the Diogenes Damsel)|Straxus]] and [[Septimus]].
-Mycroft explains to Benny that Straxus runs [[Straxus Imperial]], which [[auction]]s off antiquities, and that he has been keeping an eye on him in Sherlock's absence given his possible [[crime|criminal]] connections and likely involvement in the disappearance of a [[Germany|German]] [[aristocrat]] in [[Ceylon]]. Unbeknownst to the two of them, Straxus is an extraterrestrial with [[Straxus's Time Ring|a malfunctioning Time Ring]] which has drawn Benny here, trapping her with a [[consular lock]], so that he and Septimus might escape, having been stranded for some time. Septimus is able to use Straxus's ring to steal Benny's as she sleeps, but it does not work and Straxus decides that he will have to take it apart to find out what is wrong. Benny soon becomes aware of the theft.

Septimus is able to use Straxus's ring to steal Benny's as she sleeps, but it does not work and Straxus takes it apart to find out what is wrong, coming to the conclusion that there might be a [[genetic lock]]. Benny soon becomes aware of the theft.
+Septimus knocks out Benny, who mistakes him for [[Chris Cwej]], and takes her to Straxus at the [[Langham Hotel]]. She realises that Straxus is a "lord of the temporal variety" and learns that Septimus is actually one of the [[Cwej (species)|Cwejen]], being one of the seven [[clone]]s of a seventh clone of Chris. [[Brother Seven]], the only other surviving member of the seven clones, brings Mycroft in at gunpoint and the two Cwejen attack Straxus, revealing that they revere the Pale God [[Seventh Doctor|Mr Seven]], a figure from Chris's [[memory|memories]], and have been committing the recent murders to attract his attention. By making Mycroft process the matter whilst in contact with Benny, space and time have been subtly transformed by [[quantum mnemonics]] and they will soon destroy London so that Mr Seven will come to rescue them.
