[[Dex, Patty, Trish, and Fred are recovering from their shock at Socrates' news that he "hears" three Physarics outside the door of the junkyard's office. In whispers they discuss their situation.]]
Patty: Three aliens? Here? Did they "track" you...?
Socrates: I doubt it. My telepathy was weak. Maybe they tracked down Fred.
