Benny is supposed to go to Viveka to return artwork that had been stolen by the Fifth Axis. However, Braxiatel informs her that Jason, who is ten days overdue from a supply run, had been arrested but is now on his way back to the Collection. He tells Benny that Bev will take her place on the mission so that Benny can spend some time with Jason. Their hosts are busy so Bev spends most of her time with Adrian. She tries to convince him that Benny is not interested in him romantically. They disagree on whether it was right to return the artwork to Viveka.
