I laugh and put my knuckles against the xenonite. 'Fist-bump. It's just "fist-bump."'

“Hey. What's your ship's name, anyway?'

'Blip-A.'

'No, I mean. What do you call it?'

'Ship.'

'Your ship has no name?'

'Why would ship have name, question?'

'I shrugged. 'Ships have names.'

He points to my pilot's seat. 'What is name of you chair, question?'

'It doesn't have a name.'

'Why does ship have name but chair no have name, question?'

'Never mind. Your ship is the Blip-A.'

'That is what I said. Flash in ten seconds.'

'Grace, question?'

'Yes!' I've never been so happy to hear a few musical notes! 'Yeah, buddy! It's me!'

'You are here, question?!' his voice is so high-pitched I can barely understand him. But I understand Eridian pretty well now.

'Yes! I'm here!'

'I know! I know. It can get through xeonite. That's why I'm here. I knew you'd be in trouble.'

'You save me!'

'Yes. I caught the Taumoeba in time. I still have fuel. Set up the tunnel. I'm taking you to Erid.'

'You save me and you save Erid!' he squeaks.

'Set up the damn tunnel!'

'Get back in you ship! Unless you want to look at tunnel from outside!'

'Oh, right!”
