I rememeber something about "dragon relays" way back where a unit can be transported by a train of dwagons. I think Stanley can get back home safely that way.

What is interesting is the dialogue between Parson and Charlie. If you are in Charlie's position you know Parson will never accept anything that you offer, so why make the offer? You might find out a thing or two, but ended up revealing more about what you know and your motative. From the conversation in the last two comic strip, it looks like both sides are telling each other a lot if they really pay attention.
