In the year 674 of the Breegan Golden Age, Doctor Lummius Latox pioneered cryogenic sleep. Freezing people in space (and then reviving them) basically meant that you didn’t have to use a legacy spaceship (which is, like, a multi-generational slog) if you wanted to go galevanting around the galaxy outside your own solar system.

Dr. Latox made sure he saw the moon. Then he put himself to freezy sleep in a cryo chamber. Dr. Latox’s craft, the S.S. Boundary, tagged the outermost planet of the solar system and came back. The good doctor even woke up, snapped a photo, and went back to sleep.

Upon his long-awaited return to Breegania in Golden Age Year 1199, the association of enthusiastic hobbyists presented Lummius Latox with a whopper gher cap fish.

As big as an office, Dr. Latox’s prize was a true leviathan. Its scales were red and blue and fat, and they shone whenever it turned and swam in its enormous aquarium, which dwarfed Lummius Latox’s adjacent single-story, 2-bedroom, ranch-style home.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Its eyes were bright red.

It would wait for Lummius Latox to come home. Then, when it saw its master, it would start puckering its mouth. Dr. Latox fed it synthetic proteins and supplements. He did this by crane, which was generously donated by the association of enthusiastic hobbyists.

Not to be outdone, the guild of eager enthusiasts set out to outdo the association of enthusiastic hobbyists, which was their rival guild, and therefore, their bitter enemy.

It was announced that, if any Breegan would dare journey to Moogan, the first planet beyond the Breegan solar system, snap a photo, and come back, then upon their return, they would receive a gher cap fish that made Lummius Latox’s prize look like a crude accident of nature.

They were right.
