It was a alien frong in a froggy space suit.
Now the alien frog civilization had developed hyperdrive about 50 years earlier
and were just getting their froggy feet wet by exploring space near Frog Planet.
In terms of current standards the frogs were perhaps at the end of the 21rst century in terms of their civilization,both culturally and technologically.
They had just finished chasing huge hairless apes and witches
off of Frog Planet about 2 centuries earlier,so were in no shape to boss Earthlings about.
When the 9th Inter Star spacecraft had landed on Damons planet,the
extraterrestial frog explorers were'nt too thrilled to find giant hairless apes and witches apon their
arrival on Earth.
So those frog space men were playing it pretty low key and they're
hyperdrive star ship lay submerged in the moat surrounding the Royal Familys castle.
The spacers knew that a hyperdrive set on self-destruct would
take out this cursed planet of giant hairless apes
and witches as well as 95 percent of the Solar System.
Being only 50 years into hyperdrive the alien frogs hadn't yet met other
decent aliens who could have taught them the Universal Way.
Hence,not knowing the Universal Way,the somewhat bloody minded
alien frog spacers had left the hyperdrrive self-destruct mechanism a hair trigger from activating.
If those big hairless apes and witches discovered
Florania VIIII down in the moat and attacked it,the alien frogs had set
things up for the largest Fourth of July fireworks
this side of the galaxy ever.
Naturally a panicky alien frog had accidentally activated the self-destruct hours earlier,and in 20 hours Florania would go "BOOM" with a big bang.
So the alien frog who came across Damon was less interested in Damon,the
Witch,Princess Elizabeth and the Royals then stopping the
End-of-the-World.
