“Moons of Moonos!” boomed the general. “Where’s the prince’s Keeper? Blasted scheming mystic! If the farship was in trouble, why didn’t she wake us?”

“We’ll probably never know – it appears the keeper was extinguished in the crash,” the doctor replied with a shrug. “The prince – the un-hatched royal spawn – somehow floated up to the planet’s surface. He hatched outside the farship.”

“Great suns of Kroakas! Then who kept him alive, if not the Keeper?” the general bellowed.

“Who knows? Only one thing is certain – the prince did not return here until today, when he made contact with the lexicron and woke us from farsleep.”

The general clenched both his fists until they made an unpleasant cracking sound.

“How long…?” he said through gritted teeth. “How long have we been asleep?”

“Five kronons,” came the doctor’s reply. “At least.”

“Five kronons?” cried General Kurg. “By the Crush! We’re behind schedule! We must look like a bunch of untrained skirns!”

“It is quite possible King Kroak hasn’t yet checked on our progress,” mused the doctor. “After all, he does have nine hundred and ninety-nine other planets to worry about…”

“By the Turmoil! We can’t take that risk – if the King does find out, we’ll be turned into protein bars! Or worse … we’ll be the laughing stock of the empire!” roared the general. “Well, fix it, Doctor! We can’t have a brain-stunk prince!”

“I’m afraid it’s not as simple as ‘fixing’ him, General,” the doctor replied. “The lexicron has transferred our language to him – but little else. He has not been trained. He doesn’t even know who he is. To all intents and purposes, our prince is not a prince.”

“Would you please stop talking about me like I’m not here?” interrupted Frog. “I so am a prince! I’ve been waiting to be a prince for my whole life! I’m ready. I’m readier than ready!”

The general rubbed the top of his bald, green head, blinking his eyes in two directions as he peered at Frog.

“Perhaps the lexicron did get through to you, after all,” he said hopefully. “All right then – pay attention!”
