instruct himself, he runs away with the precious earphones. He goes to join the hordes of rebellious OMS that live like savages. After many mishaps with the bizarre flora and fauna of YGAM, he becomes a member of one of the bands that are hiding in an abandoned park and shares in their adventurous life. But the DRAAGS are worried about the increasing numbers of wild

OMS and decide to de-OM the park by the use of anti-personnel pellets. Many are slaughtered. The survivors manage to kill a DRAAG and get to an area where abandoned rockets are stored. Gradually, thousands of rebellious OMS come to join them. They build a huge underground city where they busily study DRAAG technology and undertake to repair the abandoned spacecraft. It takes them many long years which, for the DRAAGS, are only a few weeks. All over Planet YGAM, a major De-Om-isation has begun. Just as the warning of the DRAAG ships sounds in the city of the OMS, one group under TERR's leadership succeeds in taking off in two rockets and getting to the Fantastic Planet.

There they discover the great secret of the DRAAG meditation, necessary for their survival, and spread confusion in their sacred rites. Since the DRAAGS are threatened in the most vital aspect of their lives and are at last convinced that the OMS are intelligent, they begin showing them respect and wish to collaborate with them. The OMS are freed from persecution and the DRAAG society is instilled with a rich vitality. A new satellite is created in the skies of YGAM, a sister to the Fantastic Planet. On it, the OMS start a new civilization in the fertile Uvas of their homeland, which they name TERRA.
