[End of chapter 11]
Stuart glared at everyone in the room. Everyone here seemed against the idea of going back to Carrotus. Except perhaps Unigma, whose 5th light was blinking for the first time ever.
‘I want to go back,’ Stuart sighed. ‘But why can’t you take me there? Why hitchhike? I mean, you went back there once, to pick up your ship. And you also said that XLM was banned from Carrotus.’
‘Well, ML has always been the kind of firm that does crooked business deals. They allowed us safe passage to and from one of their spaceports. Now that ML is gone, no one on Carrotus will accept us. If you leave us, Stuart, you’re on your own,’ explained Dasel-pots.
There didn’t seem much hope left for Stuart and he looked to Unigma for conciliation. His 5th light had stopped blinking.
Unigma didn’t bother explaining what the 5th light was about but instead went straight to the point.
‘I don’t want to go to J2o, nor anywhere else on Carrotus. Since I got properly repaired in this ship, my 5th button enabled me to send and receive accurate and correct data for the first time in my life. I…’ he paused. ‘I’ve found out that the giant white rabbit is bent upon eating everything on the planet. Universal Jazz is gone and the planet is without a single major city. J2o, according to military experts, is next. It’s way safer here. Sorry, Stuart.’
[Chapter 12 coming soon! It will end the story...hopefully conclusively ;P]
