After [[Jason Kane|Jason]] and [[Mira (Ship of Fools)|Mira]] deliberately get themselves kicked out of the [[Maison | After [[Jason Kane|Jason]] and [[Mira (Ship of Fools)|Mira]] deliberately get themselves kicked out of the [[Maison Celestial]] on one of the [[Mim]] [[spaceship]]s in [[orbit]] of the [[Braxiatel Collection]] for their own entertainment, Jason admits to Mira that he is worried about [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]]. He explains that he and [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] should be [[marriage|married]] with [[Keith Branigan Kane-Summerfield|a son]] and [[Rebecca Kane-Summerfield|daughter]] by this point and how he believes that Braxiatel removed them as they did not fit into his [[continuity]]. He also tells her about how [[Clarissa Jones|Ms Jones]] and [[Jarith Kothar|Kothar]] seemed to be playing to somebody else's script and how Ms Jones, who came from the future, was [[paradox]]ically killed as a child two months ago. He attempted to acquire her body, but it and all records from the [[Stonehauser Medical Facility]] disappeared. | ||
Jason deactivates the [[dimensional translator]]s and flies himself and Mira into [[fractured time]], where he attracts the attention of an [[Enormous Space Octopus]] and is towed to Station Zero, formerly known as the [[Tartarus Gate]].

They visit Jason's former employer, [[Agragazar Fletchcock|Agragazar]], who gives him a [[mind-sucker]] which will extrapolate a coherent [[timeline]] and allow Jason to find the specific points in fractured time that he is looking for despit parts of his life having been entirely deleted. With Mira linking into his mind to serve as a lifeline, Jason puts on a [[holographic suit]] at the first set of coordinates and watches himself on [[Jaris (planet)|Jaris]] telling Benny about his past. He remembers his sister, [[Lucy Kane|Lucy]], and wonders how he forgot about her and why he had never gone back for her. | ||
Rather than simply observing, Jason dives back to the [[20th century]] and visits his childhood home, telling his father, [[Peter Kane|Peter]], that he is attached to a Child Protection Taskforce and will be monitoring the house in case the missing teenaged Jason returns. In truth, he hopes that this will protect Lucy and sets up a [[trust fund]] for her which Peter and [[Jason Kane's mother|their mother]] will be unable to touch. After an upset Benny who does not wish to talk to him, he returns alone to the Collection with data on Ms Jones, the Stonehauser Medical Facility and evidence of the timelines having been altered. He tells [[Adrian Wall|Adrian]] that he is going to speak with Braxiatel and Adrian says that he will send [[Peter Summerfield|Peter]] his way later. | |||
Jason accuses Braxiatel of killing Ms Jones twice in order to keep her from revealing that the [[war]] between the [[Mim]] and the [[Draconian]]s was not part of established history and of getting rid of Keith and Rebecca, which Braxiatel admits that he did as they would have distracted Benny from being at his side. He also confesses to having merged [[Irving Braxiatel's TARDIS|his time machine]] with the Collection in order to make altering the timelines easier, which included rewriting history after Mira was killed by the [[Fifth Axis]] so that he could [[hypnosis|hypnotise]] her into being his [[spy]]. When Jason attempts to leave with the newly-arrived Peter, Braxiatel hypnotises the boy into killing him; he tells Jason that he was never good enough for Benny. | |||
