In the depths of the Spiral Groove System, the crew searching for a cure to Guy Diamond's glitter leak found themselves lost in the limiting borders beyond the known galaxy. Queen Stellar had only been this close to it when she last saw Looney. Poppy and Branch hadn't interacted much since they boarded the spaceship, as they had a little disagreement back at the palace. All this happened all at once, and the bigger priority here was saving Guy Diamond's life, marriage matters had to be dealt with later. Some problems are much easier to fix than others, and death isn't one of them.

Poppy stared out into space longing for answers, she observed the handmade constellations and nebulae in the distance, pondering about her capabilities. She let out a dramatic sigh and walked toward the control panel, where Froggy handled the ship while everyone scattered across the ship. Poppy pulled a stool and sat beside him, she drastically yearned for distraction from the weight of the situation so she immediately settled for her endless imagination, "Hey! How's life treating you, pal? Any AI Assistants in town catch your interest?"

"No." Froggy responded in a cold and plain tone, "I am incapable of experiencing any emotion."

"Oh." Poppy blinked in response, which sounded boring in her mind, "Then what does your name stand for?"

Froggy's mechanisms beamed with excitement, he turned his head around and replied eagerly, "F.R.O.G.G.Y stands for Framework Operator Gigo Yotta. Which means absolutely nothing, it is simply a mix of technological terms that fit within the original idea of my model's nomenclature."

"I'd come up with something better." Branch commented from the door frame in the back, Popy turned around and let out a light smile. As her partner approached, she felt levity and delight as Froggy did not do justice to her expectations, "I found something interesting. Come with me."

Branch guided Poppy across the tin catwalk that led to a lower level of the spaceship, there they entered what seemed to be a storage room of sorts. They were forced to leave their Pop Troll spaceship behind and use Queen Stellar's royal cruise. Branch held a glowstick as he explained some things to Poppy, "Okay, for starters, Supergleam and I were looking for clues for how would we be able to find this place, and then I came across this place. I assumed Supergleam would recognize this technology, but she did not. So we ventured further into this mysterious tunnel and found this." Branch entered a storage room and turned on the lights, "Voila. A secret compartment, if you think it stops here, it does not."

The couple entered the room and looked around in mystery, Poppy observed some foreign artifacts made out of clay, pottery, and ceramics of all sorts. Branch continued his explanation as he ripped out a piece of metal from a crate, "Only then I found this... EarthenwareDynamics." He showed her a worn-out logo of this mysterious company on the metal plate he picked up.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Poppy asked with genuine, she seemed to be picking up the context but still found it to be extremely confusing.

"Earthenware is an extragalactic company known for its top-notch building materials and robots..." Branch continued with his theory as he began to draw on a chalkboard for Poppy's better comprehension, "Earthenware is a synonym to clay slash argill."

"Which means..." Poppy soon caught up to his logic and began to bring her excitement back, "This has to be related to the people responsible for Guy's glitter extraction!"

Branch smiled very smugly and had a proud look on his face, "Bingo."

"How do we get there?" Poppy asked as she statically scratched her chin.

"Luckily, I already mapped out the blueprints for it!" Branch said as he revealed the other side of the chalkboard he made, clearly he had a lot of spare time.

Poppy's jaw dropped, but it soon changed into a smile because that meant they were one step closer to saving Guy Diamond, "I'm not even going to question that."

"I found it in one of those drawers." He motioned to them with his head, "Look, I know the precise location we need to enter this place. As soon as we breach the system we look for a flash drive that contains the coordinates for the border between Spiral Groove and the glitter galaxy."

"Perfect! I knew I could count on you!" Poppy jumped up and kissed Branch on the cheek, "Now all we need is someone capable enough to break into a high-security space station without being caught by the enemy!"

Branch grinned, raised his hand, and said, "That's why I called a highly experienced space scoundrel, your mother. 

"You never cease to amaze me." Poppy blurted out romantically, almost as if they hadn't fought earlier, this reminded her of the times when there weren't any lives at stake.

"Let's go save our friend." Branch said as he dragged the chalkboard out and Poppy immediately after him.

Now that they were in synch for the mission, Poppy and Branch had the responsibility to be the bigger people in the situation. Queen Stellar clearly did not have enough stability to lead, and the others were a while thing on its own.
