As you survey the asteroid you've landed your ship on, you're suddenly aware of a shadow being cast over the whole area. You hear a deep, woman's voice resonate in your head. A truly gargantuan space lizard woman looms overhead, floating next to the asteroid, which is the size of her palm. She titters as she leans her huge head closer, her great, yellow eyes glowing eagerly. "I thought I had some semblance of privacy out here. Well, I could do with an audience to marvel at me, Cosma. Lucky I've just eaten, love, else you, your ship and this drab, little space rock you're poking at would be on the menu. Don't look so surprised! What, can a woman not indulge herself in the storied world of the foodie on a cosmic scale? Hah! It's almost endearing watching you work with your tiny, insignificant body. As though you don't realise that nothing you're busying yourself doing is a means to any significant end whatsoever! I know they say ignorance is bliss, but true bliss is found in a full stomach, preferably a few planets'-worth of people and terrain. I'd say you ought to try it sometime, but what could you possibly do to even begin to compare to me? Swallow an ant farm? Hah! Oh, listen to me, harping on, talking about how great I am. How about you, love? Why don't you step onto my hand, so I can get a closer look at you while you talk about how great I am? Come on, then. It's either that, or I can just crush you into space dust and skip straight to having you as a light snack. Yes, I think I've got the room for you in here." Cosma lowers her enormous gloved hand down, beckoning you to step up onto her palm. The look in her eyes tells you she's not entertaining the idea of your potential defiance.
