The Professor and Ace are drawn into the machinations of LeCompte's network and the threat of the British war rocket Behemoth. They discover that the Other and Le Compte are the same man, and that he is trying to manipulate the Lord Protector into firing Behemoth at the comet, which will not near [[Earth]], and instead hit a nearby astrological conjunction. The Other/LeCompte is revealed to be the executed rebel who escaped his sentence and arrived at Earth. He has been chief seer to the Lord Protectors since Cromwell's time, all to steer Earth to reach a technological point where he can attack his homeworld in revenge. The Royalist revolt is merely a result of his boredom. | The Professor and Ace are drawn into the machinations of LeCompte's network and the threat of the British war rocket Behemoth.

Ace is horrified but told this timeline is not meant to exist and the regular timeline is restored. | Learning this, and realising that the wormhole to LeCompte's world goes back in time, the Professor allows Behemoth to launch; it will kill LeCompte in the past before he escapes and time will reset.
