Back to the official season 3 audios, and a very different - so far - Benny audio, with Benny finding herself waking up hungover on an unknown space cruiser (thanks Iris!), and soon caught up in a fight for survival with Ice Warriors against the backdrop of peace negotiations.
It's tightly written, and with a taut cast: Benny, ship's steward Karter, and ice warriors Azzar and Sstac. Even with this small cast they are soon split further into pairs Benny and Sstac, and Karter and Azzar.
There is a funny moment with a voice-controlled lift. Which reminded me of a rather (in)famous Scottish comedy sketch and much shared YouTube video version. Though this is followed quickly by the most gripping section of the audio, where a possessed Benny and Sstac - both superbly acted - argue over past hurts.
With such a small cast there aren't many options for who the guilty party could be. And it's even predicted by dialogue earlier on in the audio. But though predictable there's still a satisfying ending. Not least the very last bits, where Benny and another find some emotional peace.
