One of these days we need to feed all the books into a text generator and see what it comes up with.

I.
Am a thermal. A pillar of warm air, rising off ground heated by the sun.
I can't tell you what street, skyscraper, or sunny meadow I rise from. I can't tell you what birds I have lofted skywards, like an elevator raising them above the surly bonds of gravity. I can't tell you what nimbus clouds I have made into thunderheads.
I can't tell you those things not because the earth is being invaded by brain-stealing alien slugs called "Yeerks" or anything, but because I am a temporary convection phenomenon, and not a conscious observer.

Now this is their first time ever on an alien planet after months of hearing about them and seeing new space aliens, but the only reaction is :geno:?

Turns out, it all just looks like the hills and quarries around LA, or Canadian woodlands.

Pretty sure the Yeerks don't know about the Pemalites or the Chee - the Pemalites had died and the Chee hidden on Earth thousands of years before the Yeerks got out into space.

What did they think the pemalite data thingy back in the first ten books was, then? I thought the yeerks knew, and had a pretty good idea of exactly what blendered that entire building. But i can't even remember that far back in this thread, let alone when i was 12.

But seriously, when I first read it, it did make me think a bit more about the next game of Civilization I played.

This was one of the better episodes of Stargate: Atlantis

Feels good to be eleven again. I've tried to draw one of our Ketran friends

Neat! I always thought of them as bug people, myself. No idea why.
