The lizard people of the lizard planet have no knowledge of the scorpion people of their own planet. But if they did know about it, you can bet your ass they’d be laying awake all night, covers pulled all the way up to their leathery necks and orb eyes bulging, their best scientists working tirelessly on rockets and propulsion systems and incendiary missiles and sorting out the hassle of atomic fission to package up in payloads to reach the scorpion people and (from a safe distance) blow the motherfuckers back to an earlier age in their respective civilisation.
That’s why I myself got into the combined business of weapons systems and interstellar exploration. To one day find evidence of the existence of the spider planet, and to somehow warn them not to fuck with us or see what happens.
