It’s All Fun & Games Until…: Aliens Eat Peaches
No, Excellency, it was nothing the Terrans did. They were most gracious hosts. No, the fault lies in our food testing devices. They worked perfectly well in detecting things that would harm us in all of the expected ways, but they were not programmed to detect powerful mutagens. The fruit known as a “peach” seems to be loaded with them.
So it was, that when Doctors Reexto, Molodet, and Wivsar each ate a peach, they began to act strange, then mutate into some sort of horrid versions of themselves. They were savage and insane. The reception became a scene of people fleeing for their lives.
Fortunately, both Chief Protector Huzbak and the Terran Captain Thompson remained cool headed enough to subdue them, though that was not easy. The Doctors were returned to our ship and as of now, two hours later. Are slowly returning to normal.
Yes, your Excellency, both we and the Terrans agree that we should only eat food that had been rigorously tested from now on.
