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 takes it apart to find out what is wrong, coming to the conclusion that there might be a [[genetic lock]]. Benny soon becomes aware of the theft. | 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]].

Septimus knocks out Benny, who mistakes him for [[Chris Cwej]], and takes her to Straxus at the [[Langham Hotel]]. She realises that Straxus is a "lord of the temporal variety" and learns that Septimus is actually one of the [[Cwej (species)|Cwejen]], being one of the seven [[clone]]s of a seventh clone of Chris. [[Brother Seven]], the only other surviving member of the seven clones, brings Mycroft in at gunpoint and the two Cwejen | Septimus knocks out Benny, who mistakes him for [[Chris Cwej]], and takes her to Straxus at the [[Langham Hotel]].

[[Brother Seven]], the only other surviving member of the seven clones, brings Mycroft in at gunpoint and the two Cwejen impale Straxus, revealing that they revere the Pale God [[Seventh Doctor|Mr Seven]], a figure from Chris's [[memory|memories]], and have been committing the recent murders to attract his attention. By making Mycroft process the matter whilst in contact with Benny, space and time have been subtly transformed by [[quantum mnemonics]] and they will soon destroy London with a [[bomb]] so that Mr Seven will come to rescue them. | ||
Straxus [[regeneration|replaces his body]] and deactivates the Cwejen with the code word "fidelio". Benny finds the bomb in a [[box]] with Mycroft's help and uses the now-charged Time Ring to throw it into the [[sea]], after which she finds herself in a bubble in the [[Time Vortex|Vortex]] with Straxus, who has his old face. He explains that he is from a point prior to his face changing, that he noticed the changes to time being made and that he saved her life by pulling her from her [[time stream]] before the bomb's explosion to avoid further changes. His next [[incarnation]] is locked up and the two Cwejen awaiting [[dissection]] to ensure no others go [[insanity|insane]] as they did. Straxus gives Benny a new Time Ring to keep and recommends that she makes a few "house calls" before she returns home, also assuring her that his people will do something about [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]] if necessary. | |||
