Are you awake yet?  I need your help so that we can get started on jumping into hyperspace and leaving.  I’ve already remotely sent the release code, but I’m too short to reach the lock keypad to de-activate it. I hope you know your chemistry and stoichiometry so that you can make your way home, but if not, I and the Council of IUPAC can help you.

Look down. I’m a mole. Yes, I know moles on Earth don’t talk, but, um, sorry, we’re not on Earth or even in your solar system. I hated pretending to be stupid!

Anyway, we need to run down the hall and get to the shuttle before Molinator catches us and turns us into stastic! He controls us moles, and if we’re turned into stastic, we’ll sit as lumps in his storeroom forever. I don’t know what he’d do to a human, but it’s probably the same thing.

Hurry and push on the keypad at the top near the window!
