gently. “You two have been through a lot!”
    â€œWhat happened to Mira?” asked Gipsy.

    â€œHe’ll be all right,” said Cripes. “He’s just sleeping. When Iggy fixed up the sub, he also gave it a special force field!”
    â€œOf course,” beamed Teggs. “A force field’s like a wall of solid energy. When Mira tried to bite it, he got a big shock!”
    â€œPoor Mira,” sighed Gipsy. “He’s not really bad.”
    â€œWe’ll tow him back to Sea Station One,” Teggs declared. “Then we can work out how to get him back home.”
    The sub’s inner door opened and peered in. “Captain! Gipsy!” he beamed with delight. “You’re all right!”

    â€œJust about,” sighed Gipsy. She gave Iggy a hug. “Though it’s going to take
weeks
to get all the wrinkles out of my skin!”
    A few hours later, the astrosaurs were safely back aboard Sea Station One. Teggs and Gipsy were both chilled through from spending so long in the freezing sea. But after a lovely hot bath and a bucket of warm sea-grass, they started to feel a bit better.
    The sleeping Mira had been towed to a special undersea pen. The pen was locked, and Cripes had placed guards there. A few hours later, the astrosaurs met Cripes on a balcony above the pen.
    â€œNo one is very happy about having a liopleurodon here at Sea Station One,” grumbled Cripes.
    â€œIf he meant you any harm, don’t you think he’d have attacked you already?” said Gipsy.

    â€œI guess so,” said Cripes. “Speaking of attacks, thanks for finding the truth behind our mysterious monster! Now all we have to do is catch all the whisperfish and they’ll never bother us again!”
    Teggs gave Cripes a hard stare. “That doesn’t seem fair.”
    â€œWhat do you mean?” asked Cripes.
    â€œIt can’t be much fun being awhisperfish on the liopleurodon world,” said Teggs. “Locked up in a tank and eaten for lunch – not much of a life, is it? But here on Aqua Minor, things are different. The whisperfish have enjoyed a peaceful life swimming freely in the sea for years.” Teggs marched angrily up to Cripes. “And what do you want to do now? You want to catch them all and send them back home for supper!”
    â€œBut they’re dangerous!” Cripes complained.

    â€œAll they want is some peace and quiet,” said Arx. “They’ve never bothered you in the north. Theyprobably won’t bother you in the east and the west, either.”
    â€œShare the planet with them, Cripes,” Teggs urged him. “Let them live here in peace.”
    Cripes nodded, a little shamefaced. “You’re right. I’m sorry. Of course we’ll let them stay!”
    â€œHEY!” came a booming voice from the undersea pen. “What’s going on here?”
    â€œIt’s Mira!” said Teggs. “He’s woken up!”
    â€œBut he sounds different,” said Gipsy. “He sounds really scary!”
    Suddenly Mira crashed through the surface of the water and glared up at them. “Who are you?” he bawled. “Who dares to lock
me
up?”
    â€œDon’t you recognize us?” said Gipsy.
    â€œNever seen you before!” he shouted. “I’m hungry! What have you done with my whisperfish?”

    â€œThey’re off the menu,” Teggs told him. “Sorry!”
    â€œSorry? You will be!” snarled the liopleurodon. “I’m Admiral Don Leo of the Liopleurodon Space Fleet! The last thing I remember was crash-landing on this crummy planet during a test flight.” His eyes narrowed. “But now I’ve woken up. And I’m hungry. And I’m very,
very
ANGRY!”

Chapter Ten
ALL WRAPPED UP!
    Arx cleared his throat. “It would seem that the liopleurodon’s memory has come back,” he said. “It must be the shock he got from
