When he tells FM that she can get back to watching the slugs, FM is annoyed and asks what his problem is and why he never speaks to her. Rig says that he doesn’t dislike her, and FM realizes that he’s been quiet around her because he likes her. FM is shocked and embarrassed, and they awkwardly return to the topic of finding the communicator. When FM lifts a heavy box, Rig says that Nedd would’ve been able to lift it, and FM mentions that she isn’t interested in Nedd. They find the FTL communicator, a box like the one in M-Bot’s ship, and they realize that they’re supposed to put a slug in it to make it work.

;Plot Summary

FM, Rig, and Jorgen sit in the engineering bay, with Fine, discussing the FTL box. Through process of elimination, they guess that the purple and orange slugs are used for FTL communication. They discuss how to make it work, and Rig suggests that they use a holographic projector to project an image onto the inside of the box. Jorgen details what he had been thinking about when Boomslug exploded, and they theorize that maybe thinking about the eyes in the nowhere scares the taynix into acting. To test it, Jorgen picks up Gill and thinks about the delvers, and Gill teleports away but leaves Jorgen standing there. They try it using the box, but Gill doesn’t teleport. They try it with Happy instead, with Jorgen holding the box with Happy inside. Both Jorgen and Happy disappear, and jorgen appears squeezed in a cubby on the other side of the room. Jorgen decides that despite the difficulties, they should try it out with a ship.
