While on route to Furnetstrum, you will be attacked by space pirates.  Specifically, Saucy Polly and the crew of the Black Comet, the most famous and infamous space pirates in all the galaxy.   While the ensuing battle will not go well for the crew of the Defenestrize, you may be able to avoid their grisly fate by pocketing one of the robed  Kookookera Regency dolls you created earlier.  It should be sufficiently silly to endear you to Saucy Polly herself, and have her accept you as one of the crew.  Remember, no matter how you slice it, a pirate’s life is better than no life at all.

Aliens You Will Meet will return with Season 2: Aboard the Black Comet.  Until then, pay attention to this feed for exclusive audio interviews with people behind the show, videos of the live performances, and the Black Comet v-blog.  For while Season 1 may be over, there are still plenty of aliens you will meet.

Despite the damage the Jugulites inflicted on your ship, you will have enough life support to survive until you are rescued by Captain Shotner and the crew of the Defenestrize.  The majority of the crew will be from the nearby planet of Furnetstrum, and as such do not pet their luxurious fur excessively.  The static charge that builds up on a Furnetstrum vessel is unbelievable.

The Jugulites will not allow you to land on their planet, as they have a deep-seated distrust of off-worlders.  Despite your best efforts, the Jugulites will fire on your diplomatic vessal, severely damaging it beyond repair.  As you float aimlessly through space with only the barest of life-support, the Jugulites will apologize but will not help you, as they will say that your ship started it, by looking at them funny.

The pleasure planet of Orlandeer offers many delights for the weary traveler.  It is recommended that you not spent too much time in the soothing Orlandeerian Mud-Pits of Relaxation.  While the Orlandeerian mud will be soothing and stimulating, the noxious smell will follow you long after the relaxation has faded.

Since Ghichrilus is now a quarantined plague world, it will not be required to land on its surface.  However, it would be polite to slow down and wave out the window.

On Querylon, you will be asked to show your physical prowess by engaging in ritualistic combat with members of their warrior class.  Though the Querylon warriors are only one third of your size, they are still a force to be reckoned with.  Remember to aim low, and watch out for their tiny, tiny horses.

The Darlanians do not have travel as you know it, preferring instead to remove their consciousnesses from their bodies, and witness the world from a purely mental point of view.  As ghost-like apparitions, they will be very interested in your dependence on your physical body, and may attempt several ways to remove you from it.  It will be important to remember that the “body dematerializer device” that they will try to put you in does exactly what you might expect.

Though your tongue is still healing from your encounter with Soyrn cuisine, it will not hamper your interaction with the Crawbiwah.  The Crawbiwah have banished the spoken word from their culture, preferring instead to sit in silence.  While this makes it difficult to know when the meeting is over, rest assured that at some point, the meeting will end.  Bring a lunch.  And a dinner.  And a breakfast.  And another lunch.

On Soyrn, the carnivorous plant people who rule will invite you to a typical Soyrn meal.  While it will be impossible for you to eat the small, kitten-like creature they will serve you, it is acceptable to put it’s head in your mouth, remove it, and then compliment the chef on her excellent preparation.  Keep in mind that the Soyrnites do not cook food so much as stun it, and it may awaken before you get a chance to remove it’s head from your mouth.

Nardinine’s denizens worship their planet as a god and consider dirt, grime and other filth to be sacred.  Bathing is unheard of to the Nardininians, so it will be a good idea for you to abstain from it as well, during your stay.  Luckily, you will arrive on one of the holiests of days for the Nardininians, and will be asked to participate in the ceremonial mud-wrestling.  This will give you a nice coating of Nar din ine soil to wear throughout your stay.
