Jupitarian Governor Fob Tomagalodian had long chosen to ignore the signal from Denab.

‘The Denabians have been messaging’, announced the Martian ambassador.

‘They’ve been signalling for ages’, agreed Fob

‘Martian Space Command has translated the message, and the Denabians are threatening to incinerate our worlds with a blast from their space cannon’.

Fob poured their Ganymedian tea, and frowned.

‘That must be terrifying for Martians’, he noted,  ‘it’s lucky none of us Jupitarians speak Denabian.’
