In his second fight, he tracks down Alloy, who has a suit with similar alien technology as his own species. Alien Hominid tries to break it down for spare parts for his ship. Afterwards, he manages to translate language to discover a stereotype that "the narrow-eyed ones" are able to build advanced technology. He finds Nene, who attacks him in retribution.
