| − | THE BOOK The Haggunennons of Azizatus Three have the most impatient chromosomes of any life-forms in the galaxy. |
+ | CAPTAIN Oh steady on Number Two... |
| − | Where as most races are content to evolve slowly and carefully over thousands of generations - discarding |
||
| − | a prehensile toe here, nervously hazarding another nostril there, the Haggunennons would do for |
||
| − | Charles Darwin what a squadron of Arcturan Stunt-Apples would have done for Sir Isaac Newton. |
||
| − | Their genetic structure, based on the quadruple-striated octo-helix, is so chronically unstable, |
||
| − | that far from passing their basic shape onto their children, they will quite frequently evolve |
||
| − | several times over lunch. But they do this with such reckless abandon that if, sitting at table, |
||
| − | they are unable to reach a coffee spoon, they are liable without a moments consideration to mutate |
||
| − | into something with far longer arms - but which is probably quite incapable of drinking the coffee. |
||
| − | This, not unnaturally, produces a terrible sense of personal insecurity and a jealous resentment of |
||
| − | all stable life-forms, or “filthy rotten stinking samelings” as they call them. They justify this by |
||
| − | claiming that as they have personally experienced what it is like to be virtually everybody else they |
||
| − | can think of, they are in a very good position to appreciate all their worst points. This appreciation |
||
| − | is usually military in nature and is carried out with unmitigated savagery from the gunrooms of their |
||
| − | horribly beweaponed, chameleoid death flotilla. Experience has shown that the most effective way of |
||
| − | dealing with any Haggunennon you may meet is to run away… terribly fast. |
||
| − | FORD Great! |
+ | NUMBER TWO What do you want to drink? |
