Line 23:
A klaxon sounded, telling Terry he had engine trouble, and he was forced to make an emergency landing on a nearby planetoid. On hearing applause, Terry and Robota exited the ship to find prospector [[Enoch Diggs]] (and his Burrobot, [[Hee Haw]]), who congratulated him on his landing. Before being a prospector, Diggs was an old space hound, and volunteered to take a look at Terry's engine. Diggs was stunned by the sight of Terry's life ship, and asked if Terry was also wearing a wrist bracelet. When Diggs confirmed his suspicions that he knew who Terry's parents were, the boy was elated. {{storylink|A Clue}}
At Terry's insistence, Diggs tried to remember what he knew of his parents. Diggs related how he'd served on the ''[[Space Warp]]'' under Terry's dad, the ship's captain, as well as the day of Terry's birth, on which he'd become separated by the life ship's activation. Diggs was pleased to find that the life ship's educational module had made the boy as bright as the 7th Sun of [[Nimrax]]. Unfortunately, Diggs' own recall was nowhere near as sharp, and as Terry asked for more answers, he encouraged the boy to travel to the [[Milk Toast Malt Shop]] on [[Asteroid 43KX]], where he could find [[Squink]], the ''Space Warp''{{'}}s retired radioman. After Diggs fixed up the engine, Terry thanked him for everything he'd done, and he and Robota set off for the deceptively-named drinks establishment. {{storylink|Some Answers}}
Terry was hopeful for some resolution when he and Robota landed on Asteroid 43KX. He touched the ship down within walking distance of the Milk Toast Malt Shop, but the next obstacle in their path was a moat infested with critters Terry identified as hungry [[Crocogater]]s. Gulping down his fear, Terry and Robota began the careful journey across the moat's log bridge. Their path was blocked by [[Omnus]], a fearsome alien that threatened that nothing got in his way. Terry stood up to Omnus, telling him that he had bad manners. Omnus swung for him, but when Terry ducked, the alien's momentum caused him to lose his balance, and he fell into the moat. When Omnus called for help, Robota dived in to the moat to rescue him, though she told him he didn't deserve it. Omnus took their names and sheepishly walked away, telling them he owed them one.
