Line 20:
The pair were rescued by Omnus, who had come to return his favour. The three of them fled the malt shop with the unconscious body of Squink carried over Robota's shoulder. With the bar staff chasing after them with weapons, Terry slowed down their pursuers by kicking the log bridge loose from its moorings. Omnus asked to join the crew, as he suddenly felt unwelcome on Asteroid 34KX, and he wanted to see what other fights Terry could get him into. Terry accepted, and as they left the asteroid, the boy mused that he may not yet have found his parents, but with Robota and Omnus, he sure had found a family. {{storylink|Malt Shop Menace}}
Robota piloted the ship while Terry expressed his excitement about being closer to finding his parents than ever before. His luck soured when Squink pulled a blaster on him, vowing that no one must learn the secret of the ''Space Warp''. Squink refused to answer any of his questions as Terry's father had blamed him for what had happened to the ship. Consulting the astro-screen, Robota warned him of an incoming astro tornado. Squink refused to listen to her, and he jumped ship with a jet pack.
Terry's ship was tossed around by the astro tornado, and it landed on the [[Gorkel|world]] of the [[Gorkels]]. Their spiritual leader, the [[Wise One]], had the Gorkels throw a banquet for Terry and his friends, as they were "close enough" to fulfilling a prophecy from their [[Book of the Gorkels|holy book]]. The Wise One explained that it was foretold that alien creatures would arrive to save their beloved [[Princess Ugly|Princess<sub> (shudder) </sub>Ugly]] from her uncle, [[Vermin the Vile]], who had placed her under a sleeping spell. After consulting with his prized picture frame, and with encouragement from Omnus and Robota that they were a family that worked together, Terry accepted the mission of rescuing the princess, especially as the Wise One would reward their deed by repairing the ship and allowing him to continue his quest. After the Wise One told them the job would be a piece of cake, another Gorkel reminded him of the myriad dangers between their settlement and the far-off [[Domed City]], but Terry, Robota, and Omnus marched forward with a determined war cry of "close enough!" {{storylink|The Saga of Princess Ugly}}
