Darius and Jorjie then hear a dropping sound, the creature drags Starkey to its hideout. Darius fears they are going in circles and Jorjie asks if K9 is sure he knows where hes going, he tells her he does. Gryffen's videolink with K9 starts to go haywire but K9 tells him everythings alright on his end. Gryffen knows K9 is confused and that something is tampering with his circuits. He compares the high-pitched frequency of the alien substance to a [[Dog Whistle]], and suddenly determines that its sending out a distress signal, he tries to tell K9 but the communications are scrambled. As Starkey is trapped in the alien substance he warns the aliens what Jorjie will do once she finds out what they've done to the Great Oak. The Postman is trapped next to Starkey and hopes that Jorjie is a "super soldier with a couple of bazookas", Starkey replies she isn't but "she is fairly tough, for a 14 year old girl". This dissapoints the Postman, who ascertains they're both "toast". He gives his name as Patrick, Starkey compares it to "Postman Pat" while Patrick persists his name is "Pat-rick". Starkey manages to get his Dog whistle with his mouth and calls for K9. This only manages to gain the attention of the alien creature. | Darius and Jorjie then hear a dropping sound, the creature drags Starkey to its hideout.

The magnetic inteferrance starts to weaken and Gryffen can talk to K9 again. K9 notes how the magnetic interferrance matches the pitch of a Dog whistle, Gryffen explains to Darius that K9s been confused as he's been following an alien distress signal. K9 will consider the alien to be hostile until he can confirm Starkey's safety. As Starkey whistles again, he and Patrick are let free of the encasement and fall to the ground to see a pile of alien eggs. As the creature moves towards them, Starkey continues to whistle as K9 races to find him. K9, Jorjie and Darius manage to find Starkey. As K9 prepares to neutralise the creature, Starkey shows him the eggs and the creatures a mother, the team have found themselves in a hatchery. The creature doesn't want to attack or eat anyone, she's just trying to protect her babies. Gryffen tells K9 that Starkey is right and tells him to not attack the creature, known as a [[Centuripede]], it won't harm him.

Gryffen tells K9 that Starkey is right and tells him to not attack the creature, known as a [[Centuripede]], it won't harm him. She's here to build a pod to transport her eggs, or as K9 and Darius puts it an "Interstellar Baby Carriage" or "A Spaceship made out of Wood and Centipede spit" respectively. But she doesn't just need any wood, she needs Oak Wood. She could have easily bred in Oak forests for thousands of years but as there are no more Oak trees this may be the very last spawning of the Centuripede on Earth. | ||
June then contacts Gryffen who reports the situation to her, she tells him both the alien and K9 are "history" if Drake catches them, as he is trying to as he searches through the sewers. Gryffen alerts them that Drake is there, Drake puts a gas bomb set to detonate in four minutes. Darius runs with Patrick who is carrying Jorjie (who doesn't want to leave the aliens). K9 insists that Starkey leaves, however he doesn't want to leave the aliens either. K9 tries to keep the gas out with as Photon Spread but he can't guarantee he can give the creature enough time, Starkey decides to "make time". As K9 holds off the vapour, Starkey holds an egg up to go in the pod to protect them. As the others make their way out, K9's power starts to deplete. Starkey puts the second egg into the pod. As the others climb up the ladder, K9 uses his maximum power. Darius is the last to climb up and rummages through Patrick's postbag to find Gryffen's invitation, Darius hopes he can get a reward for this. As Jorjie, Darius and Patrick get out of the sewer, they see no sign of Starkey or K9. K9 can't hold his power much longer, Starkey manages to put the final egg in and the pod rises. The mother however collapses and appears to be dead, K9's power is then exhausted. As Starkey goes to the mother, her body starts to crack into white light, knocking Starkey down. The mother then transforms into a butterfly-like creature. | June then contacts Gryffen who reports the situation to her, she tells him both the alien and K9 are "history" if Drake catches them, as he is trying to as he searches through the sewers.
