'''''Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Mirror Effect''''', or simply '''''The Mirror Effect''''', was the fifteenth ''[[Bernice Summerfield (series)|Bernice Summerfield]]'' audio story produced by [[Big Finish Productions]]. This was writer [[Stewart Sheargold]]'s first audio story for Big Finish. It begins a very long character arc for [[Irving Braxiatel]] whose motivations are questioned throughout the course of this story and continue to develop through the Benny stories. | |||

Trapped and alone in a place she cannot trust, with her friends distorted and turned against her, she is haunted by fears and reflections. | ||

''to be | [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] and [[Jason Kane|Jason]] appear in an [[ice|icy]] [[mining station]] and go looking for [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]] and [[Adrian Wall|Adrian]], who have appeared in the base camp above and found [[Marcus Devras|a human corpse]] with a neck wound. Benny and Jason are attacked by the [[knife]]-wielding [[Jackson Carnivel|Dr Carnivel]] who stops as soon as she makes Jason bleed and claims that she knows the two of them, having worked with them on the expedition here before passing through a mirror. Copies of Benny and Jason returned, she says, and led to the team killing one another until only she was left. | ||
Carnivel shows the mirror to Benny and Jason, who recognise it as the one that they passed through on the [[Braxiatel Collection]] to arrive here. Braxiatel makes contact with Benny and Jason through Carnivel's [[communicator]] and Adrian starts working on the lift so that they can regroup. Benny appears to Braxiatel at the base camp, but he soon realises that she is a reflection; she accuses him of engineering [[Peter Summerfield|Peter]]'s conception so that he could collect a [[human]]-[[Killoran]] hybrid and attacks him, but Adrian comes to his rescue and smashes her. | |||
