Their escape takes them to a moon where they meet a new character named Kh’ymm, an owl-like creature who agrees to help them find At Attin. However, Kh’ymm is not who she seems, and she betrays Jod, revealing his true identity as Crimson Jack.  

The kids and Jod manage to escape, with the help of some impressive piloting skills from Neel, who takes the control of the ship. They use coordinates obtained from Kh’ymm to jump into hyperspace, but their destination remains uncertain.
