Mycroft explains to Benny that Straxus runs [[Straxus Imperial]], which [[auction]]s off antiquities, and that he has been keeping an eye on him in Sherlock's absence given his possible [[crime|criminal]] connections and likely involvement in the disappearance of a [[Germany|German]] [[aristocrat]] in [[Ceylon]]. Unbeknownst to the two of them, Straxus is an extraterrestrial with [[Straxus's Time Ring|a malfunctioning Time Ring]] which has drawn Benny here, trapping her with a [[consular lock]], so that he and Septimus might escape, having been stranded for some time. Septimus is able to use Straxus's ring to steal Benny's as she sleeps, but it does not work and Straxus decides that he will have to take it apart to find out what is wrong. Benny soon becomes aware of the theft. | |||
