Synopsis
The Myzoni patrollers recognise Matt as one of the carbon-based aliens to have jumped from the Darkonian slave ship and decide to take him for examination. As he is driven away in their vehicle, Matt decides to exchange his cat for a gerbil at the pet shop.
Elsewhere, Humph is being showered with affection by the group of Slavebots. He eagerly listens as they talk up his achievements as a champion to the oppressed, but his face droops as it becomes clear they expect him to free them from slavery even if it kills him.

Continuity errors
Continuity notes
- Matt "jumped" from the slave ship in issue 19.
Real-life references
- A signpost reads "One born every minute!", paraphrasing an adage about there being a steady supply of easily duped people, presumably referring to Matt's flagging down of the patrol car in the previous issue.
