Sonic introduces himself and Oe explains that his crew is headed for Mezzo Jillion, a galactic trading hub where Sonic may find a way back to Mobius.

Some of the planet's smaller fragments collide with the Magesteron, critically damaging it. Oe instructs his men to flee to the bio pods, which will lead them to inhabitable planets.
