STORY - Research Bulletin OX1454 – Recreational Past-Times

I've never written about football before, and the overblown as ever coverage of tonights England-Holland game made me see if I could come up with a quick soccer related sci fi story. So, here we go.

Research Bulletin OX1454 – Recreational Past-Times

As per my stated intention of the report 0600 27th 12th 2012th (local sol time and date standard) I brought my vessel to an altitude of 35 thousand metres above the National Centre for Recreation in the state capital. Our optical and radar backscattering camouflage worked perfectly and it appeared that the island's military system's did not recognise our presence. As predicted by Your Supreme Exultancy with marvellous foresight.

Before the event took place and the crowds of the local semi-sentient life form appeared in the vicinity, we carefully scanned the immediate area, and descended to teleportation range of 10 thousand metres, still well above the precipitation laden clouds that seem a permanent feature of the local climate.

Switching to infra-red scanning revealed the two groups of eleven subjects, in separate antechambers. My first officer and I decided this was the best time to strike, and so activated the teleport on the group that spoke the same guttural vernacular as the locals, wearing white as some kind of primitive tribal insignia. The other group, wearing a colour in honour of a popular fruit we had seen growing in the planet's hotter areas, we left behind as a control group.

The eleven were teleported directly into our medical facility. Due to their primitive nervous systems, cutting through the skull structure without sedation seemed to cause no great suffering, indeed many of the eleven seemed to think they were in something called a “massage parlour” and kept demanding something called “A happy finish.” Indeed one of their number inserted his forelimb into the primary, secondary and tertiary sexual orifices of our chief medical technician and had to be immediately lobotomised.

Brain extraction from the eleven subjects proved to be surprisingly easy, as the brain matter was rather smaller than the skull cavity and there was little obstruction to its removal. We teleported them back to observe what happened during their ensuing recreational activities, while we examined their cortexes.

We were stunned to see that even after brain removal, the test subjects were able to engage in their recreational ritual at about 70% the efficiency of their opponents! Although we found later this is the same when they have their brains intact. Their ability to use their lower limbs to propel an inflatable spheroid at right angles across the recreational area without their brains was incredible, although moving it towards the supposed target area was more difficult.

Their salivation responses were entirely normal, even superior, and saliva projection onto other recreational bipeds was totally accurate. After the period of recreation, they engaged in washing activities in their antechamber, as did the control group, accompanied by some forms of pseudo-homosexual activity.

This correlated with what we found upon examining their brain activity, which although it needed considerable amplification to detect, revealed other such parodies of activity, where a member of the opposite sex seemed to be being used as some form of universal adaptor for two, or sometimes three or four of the recreational bipeds to engage in congress together, a result that made us wonder how the species on this planet manage to procreate at all.

Although why they should be allowed to is beyond us.
