Some quick catching up on facts so that I can explain stuff more easily:

Domite - the planet we landed on
Ormoloo - cow things (the "humanoids" we helped)
Lortonoi - bad guys (hidden mind controllers)
Garnishee - good guys (originally bad guys)
Slug-Togath - Garnishee ruler

so anyway, Slug-Togath hooked us up with all kinds of crazy space tech. We built a second cheddite projector and are powering it with the cheese we retrieved from Sally's stomach.

We know generally where the Lortonoi were headed (their home star) and we pursued them to hopefully rescue Chuck.

On the way we encounter a 3 v 1 fight between spaceships. We communicate with them and determine the solo ship is a good guy, so we blast the other 3 into the nearest star with the cheddite projector.

The pilot comes aboard our ship:

Lord Prrsi, for all his calm and civilized voice when he had spoken through Jerry's body, was a monster. Imagine if you can a twenty-foot-long coal-black chitin-armored, barb-tailed, and claw-rattling scorpion. If you can imagine that, you will have about half an idea of what this alien life form looked like. Not only that, but he was hot.

(hot is italicized)

It's meant literally though. He comes from a super hot planet of scorpion people which had a tribal split a long time ago. One type (like Prrsi) is black and the other is white. The white ones don't really hold up to the heat well and are literally crazy and stupid because their brains get kinda fried. And once we land on their planet to meet with their king there's several racial remarks made about the white tribe.

Fortunately we have a spy in their information agency who found out that Chuck, after refusing to cooperate with the Lortonoi, was sent off to work in a slave mine. It's one of those "nobody has ever come out alive" deals.

So Jerry has volunteered to be sold into slavery in order to get into the mine and lead a revolt which will need to coincide with an attack from the outside of the mine, as an attempt to rescue Chuck.
