As Gryffen goes to get a book he is contacted by June who tells him that the alien substance has stunned the Department Scientists. Gryffen complains that they're "slow-witted" and he has already unraveled the sample's mysteries. June tells him until they get the alien's ransom demands, the analysis is their only clue, Gryffen then says they won't make Ransom Demands as they aren't looking for trade and already have what they came for. The team then find slime on the sewer walls. Darius, Jorjie and K9 move on as Starkey takes a closer look, he finds some slimey Oak leaves. He then finds that the others have left, he hears a creature growling and decides to move on. As Gryffen monitors K9 he sees that K9 seems to be confused as to which way the aliens are. K9 confirms he is experiencing the same Electromagnetic interferrance created by the substance from the Museum and starts staring into space. K9 tells Darius the interferrance is getting worse, Darius then looks around and finds no sign of Starkey. As Starkey searches his light starts to flicker, he calls out for his friends. The creatures's growls grow louder as the light dampens down, and when it turns off the alien creeps behind him. | As Gryffen goes to get a book he is contacted by June who tells him that the alien substance has stunned the Department Scientists.

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".

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. She's her 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. | The magnetic inteferrance starts to weaken and Gryffen can talk to K9 again.
