Yssaringintinka Yssaringintinka was an Ukkan librarian who came to K9 Mark 2 and his friends ' aid when Starkey was trapped on Urlic . Yssaringintinka was born thousands of years before 2050 . The Ukkan library card containing Urlic was taken from the Ukkan archives by Huskian Pirate s , it eventually made its way to Earth where it was captured by The Department . As there was a prison over - crowding problem on Earth in 2050 , Inspector Thorne decided to turn it into a prison planet and dump prisoners there . He trapped Starkey on the planet by using a careers day at the Department HQ . Starkey and Darius slipped away from the rest of the guests to investigate Thorne ' s office where Starkey found the card . Looking at the card , he was sucked in and transported to the planet Urlic . Darius Pike brought it to the Gryffen House , and Yssaringintinka arrived to help them . She could safely examine the card because she became immune to the effect of the cards over millennia . She needed the plinth of the card to retrieve Starkey . She could extract him with a retriever but only if the card was on the plinth . The plinth was located at Department HQ . Alistair Gryffen warned her when she decided to go and get it that the Department didn ' t like people dropping in . Yssaringintinka gave everyone purple glasses which allowed them to look at the card without being sucked in and talk to Starkey . She warned that the card ' s fail - safe will close the portal in two hours . The team did a deal with Thorne , they offered him the card if he gave them the plinth to get Starkey out . Gryffen argued he ' ll never keep his side of the bargain so Darius suggested they double - cross him . They contacted Thorne who demanded it back or he would use force . K9 interrupted and told him that he can do nothing with the technology unless he had more information . He told him about the Ukkan goggles and offered him Yssaringintika as a consultant . Yssaringintinka disabled the goggles so that when Thorne wore the goggles and saw the card he was sucked in . However , Thorne double - crossed them as well as his box merely contained a brick rather than the plinth . June Turner took the plinth from Thorne ' s office from Department HQ . Despite Thorne and Starkey ' s stubbornness , Yssaringintinka and the others were able to get them to stop fighting . The retriever didn ' t work well at first but when Starkey grabbed Thorne they were returned . Thorne threatened to have everyone arrested , and Yssaringintinka threatened to erase him if he harms anyone . On the doorstep she asked Gryffen to come with her to Ukko as they are short of men . He was tempted but passed , he thanked her and she teleported back home . ( TV : " Lost Library of Ukko " ) Personality . Yssaringintinka had the attitude of a stereotypical prim librarian . She didn ' t take overdue library cards lightly , as seen with Thorne and Urlic . She was more concerned about the preservation of Urlic than with Starkey , as his presence threatened the planet with contamination if he left anything behind . She believed that humans didn ' t deserve their " lovely " planet as they made such a mess of it . She didn ' t like Thorne whom she referred to as an " ugly , boney man " . She frowned upon Gryffen ' s untidiness and they fought over making his cabinet neater . When Gryffen refused to deceive Thorne , Yssaringintinka asked why he was so careful with truth when his house was so messy , stating " tidiness comes before truth " . Despite these opposites , she took a liking to him and offered him to come with her back to Ukko . ( TV : " Lost Library of Ukko " )
