The intrepid team of mentally uplifted rats and bats, and
their vat-born human leader had not only pulled off the
only victory the beleaguered colony's feeble military
forces had won against the invading aliens, but had also
uncovered the secret that the invaders were really a
feint, being under the control of the other aliens which
the naive humans had thought were their allies.
Unfortunately, that was the easy part, because now they
had to convince their boneheaded military bureaucracy
(burdened with incompetents and riddled with quisling
humans) of their discovery, and keep from being court-
martialed, drugged into submission, or executed by the
human traitors. And they had to do this quickly, before
the aliens launched their surprise attack. Fortunately,
they had found a way around the alien's mental
programming. What's more, the daring and resourceful
Fluff, apparently the ineffectual pet of one of the
colony's ruling class, was on their side. Only Fluff can
save us now. . . .
