They get on a conveyer that takes them under the pyramid. Lando awakens from a nap to find that mohs has disappeared, and Vuffi Raa has no recolection of him. What's more, Vuffi Raa said that Lando is shrinking, not Vuffi Raa growing larger. As it turns out, Lando really was shrinking. The Great Hall that holds the Mindharp is sentient and makes Lando bigger again so he can retreive the Mindharp off of its pedistall, then shrinks him back to normal size once again. As Lando and Vuffi Raa exit the Hall, they are transported into the streets of Raffa IV. Vuffi Raa turns Lando over to Mer, per his programming, then flees to get the Falcon.
