	Unfortunately, the credits turned out to be [[mimic dust]]. Annoyed at the doublecross, he mused that at least he'd had the foresight to doublecross the Quintessons by planting a [[micro-size nuclear nullifier]] on the Recreator. At that point the bomb which the Quintessons had surreptitiously planted on the ''Lazy Sue'' went off, sending the ship crashing to the ground again. As Dirk's luck would have it, he immediately ran into three rather annoyed Technobots. His quick-talking was cut short by the timely arrival of a group of [[Sharkticon (G1)\|Sharkticons]].

With no other choice, the Technobots were forced to trust him again and the party set out for the Quintesson base. On the way, Marissa was attacked by vines, and Dirk assisted in rescuing her, but only so he could take the opportunity to relieve her of her weapon.

Even he was surprised when [[Abominus (G1)\|Abominus]] ambushed them as they neared their destination.
