Week 5 Lecture: Mission to Terex (Patreon)

“Welcome back class! Apologies for the unscheduled hiatus in our studies – I was given the opportunity to do some field-work with the SciCorps Mission of Friendship and Co-Prosperity on the newly discovered Planet Terex IV.

And what an opportunity it was! I must admit that I was surprised that Friendship and Co-Prosperity involved quite so much genocide… but the Mission Commander assured me that this is entirely normal when extending the hand of civilisation to Lesser Species.

And the Terex certainly are an interesting species! (Well, the surviving ones are, anyway.) A single-gender species is hardly rare in this galaxy - when one accounts for the many hermaphroditic worlds - but the Terex are distinctly unusual in being entirely male. Indeed, I may be the first female to have set foot on that charming water-planet of oceans and lagoons… an anomaly occasioning much interest amongst the locals.

Yes, Major Azure? Thank you for your concern… I’m still having some difficulty sitting down, but the cream you leant me has helped greatly. I can hardly blame them for their eagerness to find out what a vagina felt like, but I do wish that they’d had the decency to experiment one at a time. Or that the Mission Commander had intervened. Or that any of the heavily armed SpaceCorps Marines had put down their beers and rescued me...

In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have insulted the Commander’s new haircut just before we entered hostile territory.

However, my 27-hour ordeal aside, the trip yielded a great deal of invaluable xenobiological research – particularly in regards to how an exclusively male society functions and procreates - that I suspect many of you may find interesting. And I see that Captains Sameer and Jellefish appear enthusiastic about the idea… haha! A little too enthusiastic, really…

Oh dear… a lot too enthusiastic. Um… Clean up in Aisle Four!

Anyway, while we wait for the Servidrones, I’ll just finish up by letting you know that I’ll be briefly suspending the Rowwwl lectures in order to present you with some of the more interesting pictures I took on Terex, along with some information on Terex society and culture.

Until next week!"
