The Draconians and the Mim are at war, and the Collection's in the middle. [[Adventurer Archaeologist|Benny]] tries to return with the Collection's former owner, [[Magnificent Bastard|Irving Braxiatel]], in an attempt to open negotiations in an attempt to end the war before a nuclear armaggeddon. The only problem is, the Collection is blockaded. Only when [[Cloning Blues|Maggie]] and Benny arrive at the spaceport, they find one [[The Alleged Car|very old ship]], an absence of Irving Braxiatel, and a suspiciously large box [[Human Popsicle|among their luggage]]. And then there's the small matter of the ship's almost entirely feline crew. |

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: After discovering {{spoiler|that Brax has been in null suspension in a box in the hold}} for half the journey, Chanticleer's conditions for him staying on the ship are that he pays the full fare, apologises to Maggie, and empties the cat litter for the rest of the journey. {{spoiler|Brax reluctantly agrees.}} |

* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: When Maggie attempts to hold Brax account for [[Parental Neglect]], he genuinely seems to think he's scoreed a point by stating that he spent the last cosmic cycle [[It Makes Sense in Context|''as'']] a rock, rather than merely ''under'' one as Maggie complained. |
