Whilst working at the [[White Rabbit (Legion)|White Rabbit]] in the hopes of seeing [[Peter Summerfield|Peter]], [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] is shown a message by [[Irving Braxiatel|Irving]] in which [[Bil Bil Gloap|Professor Bil Bil Gloap]] asks her to write a [[book]] of [[poetry]] that she has already written in the future. She, [[Ruth]] and [[Jack (The Kraken's Lament)|Jack]] head to the [[Star Seasons]] resort in [[Irverfield|Irving's shuttle]] and, after taking the tour twice, they meet with Bil. He tells them that his niece, [[Mina Gloap|Mina]], went to the nearby [[Bubastis]] with [[Neon Tsara|Professor Neon Tsara]] three weeks previously and disappeared five days ago. | Whilst working at the [[White Rabbit (Legion)|White Rabbit]] in the hopes of seeing [[Peter Summerfield|Peter]], [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] is shown a message by [[Irving Braxiatel|Irving]] in which [[Bil Bil Gloap|Professor Bil Bil Gloap]] asks her to write a [[book]] of [[poetry]] that she has already written in the future.

Jack goes to the [[Experimental Library]], curious about the lack of attention given to it during the tour, and is soon joined by Ruth, who receives a message from Benny asking her to find information on the Ancient Bubastians. Whilst Ruth accesses the virtual books on Bubastian history and has the information downloaded into her mind, Jack visits Bil and learns that he saw Benny's yet-to-be-published book thanks to the Experimental Library. He then finds a [[trapdoor]] near the library, takes the [[Future Retrieval Device]] from the room beneath and hurries back to the shuttle with Ruth. | ||
Jack and Ruth fly to Bubastis and, whilst Jack waits in the shuttle, Ruth joins Benny, who is pretending to be a [[journalist]]. They attend Neon's speech about the five [[Cats of Bubastis]], how one of the cats has a total of twenty-three fingers on its front [[paw]]s instead of twenty-two and how they are hollow and contain a message especially for her. The talk is interrupted by her ex-husband, [[Octavius Gregory]], who claims that she has stolen and exploited the concept of [[sympathetic archaeology]]. Neon has him taken to her ship and ends the talk, leaving with [[Dean (The Slender-Fingered Cats of Bubastis)|the Dean]] and, unbeknownst to her, followed by Benny and Ruth. | |||
