	The Nomes who fled the [[Arnold Bros (est. 1905)\|Arnold Bros department store]] have now settled down into a new life at the abandoned [[Quarry]]. Old [[Torrit]] has just died. [[Masklin]] is struggling to deal with his feelings for [[Grimma]]. He awkwardly suggests that they start a relationship, but she is reluctant and they end up falling out. Masklin is looking to recover the spaceship to take them home. He instead decides to head off with Abbot [[Gurder]] and [[Angalo de Haberdasheri\|Angalo]] to take [[The Thing]] and investigate the nearby airport.

[[Grimma]], who is left in charge of the Nomes, realises that the Quarry is about to be reopened.

	The Nomes try sabotaging the ~~human~~'s attempts to reopen the quarry. Grimma realises her feelings for Masklin but comes to assume that he has died. [[Gurder]]'s apprentice [[Nisodemus]] revolts against Grimma's leadership and tries to persuade the Nomes that they should rebuild the store. He tries to convince them that Arnold Bros (est. 1905) chose him to be their leader by standing in a road, but is run over by a car. [[Dorcas del Icatessen\|Dorcas]] discovers an abandoned [[wikipedia:JCB (company)\|JCB]] digger (in American editions, a [[wikipedia:John Deere\|John Deere]]) and is able to get it working. They use the digger, which they nickname "Jekub" ("Big John" in American editions), to attack the human workmen and escape.		The Nomes try sabotaging the humans' attempts to reopen the quarry.
