This chapter opens on the deck of the aircraft, where Basso8xs is waiting for his ship to land. He is overcome with emotion as he realizes that the path to the ship has been broken, and that he has lost his way. He asks the captain to confirm the situation, but the captain refuses to do so, saying that he is a peace officer, and he will not allow anyone to pass through the white line that separates the deck from the flight deck. The captain, however, does admit that his ability to escape is "god" , and the captain thanks him for the report. He then turns to the other passengers and asks them what they are moping about. He tells them that they are "oping about" a giant lightning snowman, a "whale freak fighting bucha," and a "sm sicko fighting sharky" . Finally, he tells them to kill him if he gets caught, and then he asks if they have seen sumeragi. They have, he says, but he cannot understand human speech, so he will have to ask him who it is.
