When you encounter a particularly friendly alien, ask it the following question using the alien icons “CODE GG1”. The alien will then give you co-ordinates of another alien called GG. Go to the specified planet and you can then ask GG for the co-ordinates of all the other aliens around, by asking “CODE INFORMATION HELP” If that doesn’t work, replace ‘HELP’ with the name of an alien.
