Estrella and her Uncle Kscheeech find out that what Sleecha Igigi is actually looking for is the services of her Slartigifijian scientists onboard Warthog.  Zorgolongians are big believers in Slart intelligence; revere them as deliverers of peace.  Their task will once again be to save planet Zorgolong from the destruction of their proud society.
