They manage to exchange names; the figure's name is Zarn. Riley provides food and water, and Zarn gratefully accepts. As they eat, Zarn begins to draw symbols on a piece of paper, trying to explain their situation. Riley realizes that Zarn's ship malfunctioned, and they need help to repair it. Riley decides to call her tech-savvy friend, Max, for assistance.
