Ransom and Kayshon decide to play along, hoping Rumdar will accidentally reveal Pakled secrets. They take him on a tour of "highly sensitive" areas like the ship’s gift shop and the "secret" juice bar. The mission ends abruptly when Rumdar, mistaking an airlock for a bathroom, accidentally flushes himself into space. Remarkably, he survives the vacuum of space, proving that while Pakleds may not be smart, they are exceptionally sturdy. Anomaly Consolidation Day
