Benny is attending a ceremony on the Collection. As she talks with Anson, she notes the guest of honour, Jason Kane, at the buffet table. He has gained quite a bit of weight. He has received the Cluster of Moral Rectitude (Third Class) for his duties in resource procurement. When a giant cake is brought in, Benny has to leave. Benny confronts Anson with the fact that all the half-human, half-alien children are missing. He denies that he is responsible, and Benny can see that he has an idea who is responsible.
