Unsure of what to do, Gobo goes to the Gorgs' garden to get the advice of the Trash Heap, who says to ask his friends for help. When he tells them about Sprocket, they come with him, waiting just inside the tunnel while he searches Doc's workshop for the first postcard. He finds it but gets caught by Sprocket on the way back. Mokey saves Gobo by throwing Sprocket his ball, which had rolled into the tunnel.

-->'''Uncle Matt:''' ''[writing in a notepad]'' So far, I have been attacked by a large beast, run into an unfriendly yellow fellow, and escaped from an army carrying deadly weapons. If I put this in a message to Gobo, he'll never believe it. I'll just say I'm fine.

-->'''Uncle Matt:''' Think of me as Traveling Matt.
