You have the power; you have the ferret. You race down to the pet store to buy one of those word-mat things for dogs. It's a long shot, but you have faith in the ferret. Gloria seems to understand the setup. She boops the buttons for "treat" and "now." You give her one. The alien speaks. Gloria boops the word-mat. "Treat." "Now." You give her one. Cmdr. Johnson takes the mic. "Any luck?" Gloria boops the mat. "Daddy." "Maybe?" The alien speaks. Gloria boops. "Treat." "Now." Over and over.
