[[Synesius|Bishop Synesius]] welcomes the Sisters to the monastery, the resting place of [[Celestion|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 [[archaeologist]]s' approaching ship and delete the records of [[Bunny Hare|Professor Bunny Hare]], a [[dendrochronology]] expert whose identity she intends to steal by keeping them in [[suspended animation]]. Not long after the archaeologists arrive, one of them, [[Gaiter (Bad Habits)|Dr Gaiter]] is killed with his own [[trowel]]. Sister Marianne tells Ruth that she suspects Mother Aurelia of being behind the deaths and they join forces. | [[Synesius|Bishop Synesius]] welcomes the Sisters to the monastery, the resting place of [[Celestion|Saint Celestion]]., and gives them a tour, telling them about [[Melville Trout]]'s excavations and the [[curse]] of the [[Blood Beast of Thaloon]].

A [[sonic cannon]] brings down the ceiling whilst the archaeologists are excavating and all but Benny are killed. The catacombs are closed, so Benny gets Synesius drunk and steals the [[key]]s before heading there with Mother Aurelia, whom she runs into on her way | A [[sonic cannon]] brings down the ceiling whilst the archaeologists are excavating and all but Benny are killed. The catacombs are closed, so Benny gets Synesius drunk and steals the [[key]]s before heading there with Mother Aurelia, whom she runs into on her way. She reveals that she does not need her [[wheelchair]] and that she is Jennifer L. Jessop, a murder mystery [[writer]] and amateur [[detective]] who suspects that Synesius is behind the killings. He locks the two of them in a burial chamber and they are joined by Trout, who survived the rockfall and has been continuing the excavation in secret. Trout leads the way to the tomb and they encounter the Blood Beast of Thaloon, which is actually a [[pantomime horse]]. | ||
''to | Sister Marianne attacks Ruth and heads to the tomb to kill Benny. She kills [[Brian (Bad Habits)|Brian]] and [[Clive (Bad Habits)|Clive]], the two who played the Blood Beasts, for their inefficiency and confirms that she belongs to the [[Council of Ten]], which intends to keep the tomb secret. She killed Sister Caitlin after she overheard Sister Marianne communicating with the Council and killed Dr Gaiter in the hopes that it would put an end to the excavation. Benny examines Saint Celestion's relics and deduces that he was simply an [[astronaut]] and that the Council of Ten want to keep this secret to protect their [[religion]]. She uses a [[suspended animation]] device to freeze Sister Marianne. | ||
Having found the Sphere of the Serenity in Saint Celestion's tomb, which is actually a [[Serenity 6000 Star Map]] manufactured by [[Serenity Systems of Sassa Nevada]], Benny and Ruth head to a medical ship to leave Agora, now knowing exactly where Legion is. | |||
