Benny realises that Frunt hid the Prism in Klench's rubbish and goes with Harper to get it from [[Landfill Major]]. Mrs Winther finds them but lets them both go as, unbeknownst to the two of them, Jason has a [[knife]] to her back and threatens her before escaping. Benny and Harper give the Prism to Klench, who gives it to Linn; she sees the world as a beautiful place and tells Klench that she loves him like a father, which devastates him. Having tracked Frunt's final communication to Klench, Mrs Winther has her men [[torture]] and kill him before having Creer scan his brain. Linn is thrown out and gives the Prism to Benny at the spaceport, to which she and Harper have returned after a visit to [[Prevoria]] where Jason [[bribery|bribed]] the natives into treating them well, as payment for their services. | Benny realises that Frunt hid the Prism in Klench's rubbish and goes with Harper to get it from [[Landfill Major]].

Upon removing the Prism, Linn realises what has happened to Klench and runs away, which Benny, now affected by the Prism, does not think is strange. Mrs Winther captures Linn and sends her thugs to chase Benny and Harper, but Jason and Clarence distract him so that they can escape to the Xcelsior. | Upon removing the Prism, Linn realises what has happened to Klench and runs away, which Benny, now affected by the Prism, does not think is strange. Mrs Winther captures Linn and sends her thugs to chase Benny and Harper, but Jason and Clarence distract him so that they can escape to the Xcelsior. They are captured and Jason negotiates Clarence's release before being sent by Mrs Winther to her [[villa]]. She follows Jason's suggestion and politely asks Benny to hand the Prism over; she does so and Mrs Winther realises that she already has everything that she needs out of life, so she hands it back to Benny. Not wanting her to leave empty-handed, Benny slips the Prism into her pocket as she leaves. | ||
Mrs Winther has Jason released and, when she starts talking about health benefits for her thugs, [[Nikole Medak]] accuses her of wasting time and [[money]] and intends on supplanting her. Trying to save Mrs Winther, Jason ends up falling off the [[balcony]] with her, but Clarence saves him and the Prism whilst Mrs Winther falls to her death. Jason and Clarence then keep Benny from having [[sex]] with Harper by causing numerous distractions until she falls asleep. She returns to the Collection and Clarence destroys the Prism. | Mrs Winther has Jason released and, when she starts talking about health benefits for her thugs, [[Nikole Medak]] accuses her of wasting time and [[money]] and intends on supplanting her.
