Last time, in Ender's story:
A Space Saga Begins
Is it Mine Mine?
Okami Bike
As Ender rode across the desolate asteroid he sent off a background request on Hiro Nakamura to Shinra. He figured he'd need help chasing down these aliens and he knew Hiro would be up to the task. Almost immediately his request was returned with a positive note granting Ender permission to bring Hiro on as part of the Okami Force. It seems Shinra had already been looking into Hiro as a likely candidate to help them figure out what the aliens were after. After searching for a couple more hours and coming up with nothing he rendezvoused with Hiro.
After parking his bike in Hiro's ride, Ender joined Hiro in the atmospherically sealed cockpit.
They set the scanners to locate alien life and set off across the asteroid.
Soon their scanners had picked up something worth investigating.
It looked like the aliens were cornered and Ender was just about to put on his helmet to go confront them when something jumped over the rocks.
The robot had super strength and pushed the hummer away from the aliens, allowing them to escape.
After dumping the hummer on it's side, the robot ran off leaving Ender and Hiro stranded until someone could come and help them right their vehicle. The answers they were looking for regarding the aliens would have to wait...
