Line 10:
The Wise One had the Gorkels throw a banquet for their alien guests, where he explained about Princess<sub> (shudder) </sub>Ugly's kidnap and the prophecy concerning her rescue. As the Gorkels looked at him expectantly, Terry realised they were referred to him and his friends, [[Robota]] and [[Omnus]]. The Wise One offered to repair their ship in exchange, and Terry accepted the deal. After the Wise One insisted it to be a straightforward, painless job – "it is written in the book!" – another Gorkel reminded him of the myriad dangers between their settlement and the Domed City, listing off the impenetrable forest, the [[Mayhem Maker]], the terror vines, the volcano, and the whirlpool as evidence of its danger. Terry and his friends nevertheless marched forward with a determined war cry of "close enough!" {{storylink|The Saga of Princess Ugly}} The Gorkels gave Terry a [[vibro-compass]] to guide them to the Domed City. {{storylink|Too Close (Enough) for Comfort}}
When Terry and friends returned with Princess Ugly, the Gorkels cheered – though the Wise One had been assured of their success thanks to the book. But when Terry announced he had to rejoin the search for his parents and their ship, the ''[[Space Warp]]'', the Gorkels were astonished – the wreck of the ''Space Warp'' was nearby on Gorkel! {{storylink|The Doom of the Domed City}}
