the Supreme Device agitatedly debates with himself about whether or not it can allow the human petitioner to return to her planet. he fondly recalls all of the human traditions and their influence on the culture of planet64, especially his favorite, the ritual office dance. to calm himself he orders some of the humans be brought to amuse him. meanwhile, the petitioner surreptitiously slips into a nearby transporter. she starts hitting random buttons, is serendipitously successful and suddenly transported elsewhere in the galaxy.

the humans take off in their homemade transporter, and try to find the petitioner in her craft. but their navigation system is very primitive. they can only navigate by using feelings and intuition to communicate with the instruments and locate the petitioner. as they built it themselves, their transporter is not a hybrid, nor a device. it is powered by flat beings who were also long ago enslaved by the hybrids and are loyal to humans.
