–And on this week's episode of Ancient Aliens we enter the domains of the mysterious Frog Cult. What the... this is new.
–Interesting indeed. Still, I would advise against going down there. There's something in the water
–I agree. Let's just observe from up here.

What most people remember about that summer on Martinus isn't the #warmth. All summers on that tripartite world are warm. No, the Martines call it The Great Embrace, which started their new endeavor as the galaxy's pleasure world.

It took invasion and conquest to give him a taste of what the rest of Human Space took for granted: #warmth on his face. No chill in his bones. Plentiful water. Easy crops.
He liked this planet. He was in no hurry to give it up.

#SciFiSat [1/5] A few hours after the Birds’ departure, Vic Tancredo erupted in a rash. It was on his forehead and around his eyes and also on his wrists and lower arms, areas that had been more exposed during the surgical work on Akh’chu.
#SciFiSat [2/5] A skin scraping showed some of the four-legged organisms that had been detected in the feather samples, only these were undeniably alive.
“Congratulations, Vic,” Dr. Souray said. “You’ve contracted … what would you like to call it? Galactic mange?”
#SciFiSat [3/5] She wanted to keep things light, but she couldn’t help but be concerned. Her own face was feeling hot and tingly, and Mark was waiting in an exam cubicle at that very moment, with a slight fever and itchy wrists.
#SciFiSat [4/5] Tancredo swore. “So that smelly antiseptic bathing didn’t accomplish diddly-squat.”
“We don’t know that. Think how much worse it might be if you hadn’t bathed.”
“So – what? Am I going to be eaten alive?”
#SciFiSat [5/5] “My goodness, I hope not. We’ll try an antiparasitic ointment and a broad-spectrum oral antimicrobial. I’m going to quarantine anybody who displays these symptoms here in MedBay and keep out those who are symptom-free.”
Jeremiah looked down at the shining, #splendid city world Celester, capital, religious center, and #jewel of Known Space. He did not share in that or any other religion and was one of the few who remembered the grime of the planet before Prelate Markos's Great Reform of 9000.

#SciFiSat [And so our hero Ki’shto’ba Huge-Head becomes a stand-in for Beowulf, fighting a monstrosity who has repeatedly attacked the Horned Hall of the Nasutes. If you detect a touch of Angle-Saxon alliteration, you aren’t mistaken.]
#SciFiSat [1/4] The aged King spoke further. “Now this creature of darkness – this Rash’ta’rak, evil one – is wreaking disaster upon my dear fortress. It galls me to plead for assistance, but I am seeing my Warriors and my innocent Workers and Alates picked off one by one.
#SciFiSat [2/4] “Time and time over, my brave battlers have lain in wait in the Hall, hoping to beat off the foe, but every dawn saw only a wrecked chamber and tree posts bespattered with body fluids!
#SciFiSat [3/4] “Three Regeneration Rituals since Chieftain Sa’ti’a’i’a so valiantly fared forth to seek aid have not served to restore our citizens’ ranks. Our food stores dwindle because forestry fails us. We have felt that our doom was desperate.
#SciFiSat [4/4] “But now the Sky Mother fulfills the Foreseeing of the Holy Na’tei’tha and sends the Champion who wields the three mighty mandibles! Let us give praise to the One who is Nameless!”

Office of Scientific Personnel Disbursements, Third Floor Dr. Benton C. Quest, This office has processed your travel reimbursement for fiscal year 1966 and notes the following: Seventeen field sites visited. Fourteen no longer exist. The remaining three are under investigation by agencies whose names this office is not cleared to type. Your receipts from the “Land of the Turu,” which appears on none of our maps and all of yours, include a line item for “structural demolition (unscheduled)” which is not a category. It is now a category. You are the reason it is a category. We have approved the claim. We ALWAYS approve the claim. The Secretary has asked us to stop telling him what you cost and start telling him what you prevent, which is apparently everything, at the expense of everything else. Please find enclosed your per diem adjustment and a revised W-2 reflecting hazard pay for your son, Jonny, your son’s friend, Hadji Singh, federally classified as wizard “mystic,” your son’s dog, Bandit, whose security clearance this office can neither confirm nor explain, and a man named Bannon whose job title changes with every form he submits. The Director of Intelligence One requests that you try to prevent something without destroying something else. Regards, G. Pfeiffer Office of Scientific Personnel Disbursements, Third Floor P.S. Mr. Bannon’s Form 27-B requesting naugahyde seat covers for your aircraft is denied. There is no budget for jet upholstery.
Jonny Quest seems an honest lad, reminiscent of a young Allan Quatermain, a Doc Savage Jr. with more explosives, better weaponry, and a Cold War super scientist for a father.
