Belloc makes the second trip on the Hopper. He finds himself on Cajekk, arriving in a forest-like area. He dies. Marla reveals to Vox that she is a spy for the Zetaceans. Polnar makes a jump to Mylache, arriving in what he thinks is a desert, but is actually a giant creature.; Polnar is so clumsy that his comrads send him off on a special mission (to get rid of him for a while), as emissary to "the eternal one".
