After [[Planet Terry]] and [[Robota]] were forced into an emergency landing on Diggs' planetoid home, the old space hound applauded the boy's emergency landing. Diggs introduced himself and [[Hee Haw]], and learned about Terry's mission to find [[Planet Terry's parents|his parents]]. Diggs offered to take a look at [[Planet Terry's ship|Terry's ship]]'s engine, but as he boarded, he recognised the [[life ship]] Terry had grown up in, kept by the boy as a memento. Shakily, Diggs asked if Terry was wearing a wrist bracelet with his name on it, which confirmed his suspicions that he knew who Terry's parents were. {{storylink|A Clue}}▼
The [[Planet Terry's parents|''Space Warp''{{'}}s captain]] was expecting his first child, and Diggs was tasked by the ship's doctor with finding a sterile environment to put the baby.

At Terry's insistence, Diggs tried to remember what he knew about Terry's parents. He told the boy the story of his birth on the ''Space Warp'', as well as the emergency evacuation of the life ship. He reasoned that the life support systems on the capsule must have protected and raised Terry, and was pleased that the boy had become a fount of knowledge. Unfortunately, Diggs' memory of Terry's parents was hazy, but he encouraged Terry to fly to the [[Milk Toast Malt Shop]] on [[Asteroid 43KX]], where he should be able to find [[Squink]], the ''Space Warp''{{'}}s retired radioman. After Diggs fixed up the ship's engine, he bid Terry and Robota farewell and good luck... privately confiding to Hee Haw that they'd ''need'' luck at the Milk Toast Malt Shop. {{storylink|Some Answers}}
