At first, Star Worm had no idea how Jero was going to help them. Not until the train pulled into the station and he watched Jero swiftly drag them out through the gates.
Then, like an agent, he dodged the patrolling mechanical police dogs at every turn until they finally hid in a recessed crevice along the side of the train.
