10 Laws on an Alien Planet

No spitting (Spit turns toxic outside of the host’s body)
No jumping (Gravity here is a bitch)
No drinking after sunset (Body cannot break down proteins without the sun’s UV rays)
No food before sunrise (Stomach acid cannot synthesise in the dark; what you swallow sits and starts to rot)
Stay indoors when ill (Atmosphere helps pathogens become more potent and contagious)
Do not eat any uncooked food (Fresh food grown on the planet’s soil is not safe for consumption)
No crying near the reservoirs (Salt water is currency here, they will come to collect it)
No whistling in the tunnels (They will whistle back)
Do not make eye contact with them (They remember faces longer than they remember hunger)
No sleeping past the second moonrise (Unclaimed dreams will get repossessed)
