<Why are you pointing it to the sun?> Sha'Hass'Don asked.
<It's solar-powered,> Jet smiled.
<Oh! Just like me!>
<Yes,> Jet laughed.
<You... seem to be perspiring,> Sha'Hass'Don observed.
<I think I'm too near the sun.>
<Take some shade behind me, > Sha'Hass'Don said.
Jet nodded and flew a behind the psychedelically colored giant space octopus, its arms spread out, its suction cups facing the sun Deikha, drinking the sunlight in.
Jet felt an infinitesimal ripple through spacetime.
<I thought Deikha wasn't inhabited?> Jet looked far off into the space behind them. He zoomed in with his Inner Eye and saw several copper-colored metallic ships heading their way.
<It isn't,> Sha'Hass'Don said. <Oh,> the octopus saw the ships too.
<Friends of yours?> Jet asked.
<The ships look Gnaxxian. I don't know any Gnaxxians.>
<I do,> Jet sighed.
