Lion, Tiger, Bear | 355 rank as slaves. The best slaves are those who dont think they arefield marshals, kings, queens, prime ministers, Hitler, the Pope even. Oh yes, and high-intellect scientists are captured in national parks for new jobs hundreds of light years away, their souls bought and paid for like Podunk politicians; many refuse to return, their new lifestyles more lavish and intergalactic than anything conceiyable here. Certain tree and plant genetics are popular goods as well. Rare earth materials. Silks of course, all colors. Chocolate and coffee by the metric ton, everyone likes a hot cup of Joe with illegal Centauri sugar-vine. A particular strain of blue corn and potatoes as well from Peru. Tasty. Stew added: A big demand exists for avocados in the Orion star system this year. Lew neared Bernie. Yes, forgot about that, dear brother. And do you think in your infinite unwisdom, as Bea often says, that your own President Roosevelt has not also asked for certain technological trade goods via select intermediariesmere beads and blankets mostly from our pansy competitors, you know, the sissy-pants benevolents like the Adromedans, Telosians, Lyrans, Cassiopianswith which to fight the mean old evil Germans with?

The recent spacecraft crash in Louisiana alone will yield much when your scientists back-engineer its systems under Dr. Van Bushs watchful eye, but that will take precious years even with lawful galactic advisement. Very precious time the Allies dont have. Its all just a game in essence, tit for tat, a balance of power, but the Germans are far, far ahead. They comprehended their gifts of cosmic technology sooner thanks to the Vril Societys keen tutelage, an historic penchant for philosophic and materialistic science they have. All those technical schools and clandestine castle Teutonic roundtables. Its a deadly game of multisided five-dimensional chess, winner takes all, and alls fair.. .in love and war. Bernie said: So its true that spacecraft were purposefully crashed in the Black Forest in31. Theyve been analyzing exotic equipment for over a decade. Son of a… Spacecraft? asked Alice, suddenly flush with mental images of Flash Gordon in a Turkish harem. Lew said: Many vessels have crashed since the 1300s. Galactic visitors sometimes forget that when they enter your dense third dimension their craft have to suddenly abide by the local laws of physics here, so sometimes they slam the earth as a result. Then its easy pickings for anyone who wants to gather up the debris. Where do you think John Dees scrying tablet came from?
