It also carries that Golden Age "the Universe must be personally *fucking with us* for this to work out this way" feeling (which I suppose Core 4 and the Ragnarok showed was true). Tying it in to other things, one could imagine a Salusian blockade runner parked in Boston, the crew frantically shoving crates of ice cream in the hold while USS Whoever-the-hell-has-a-problem-today is bearing down on the city.

Second, I see the entry was written by a one Mr. Kirov. Is that a ship (or a Transformer? I'm probably getting wires crossed with the Vozdushnikons) of a later provenance, or did an actual Fog ship do a writeup of his people for the H2G2? If so, either we're seeing the thin edge of the wedge for their becoming emotional, or one hell of a convoluted and overly-clever (on the Fog's part; I think the idea is excellent) psychological warfare campaign. On a similar note, is it only Terran humans that are plagued with the Fog? Or do Corellians et. al. have them too (or their own local variation of the same problem)?
