Located very near to the Café Nalizok, a store for
Germane, a gas which is poisonous for humans, but essential for the life functions of the Space Pirates, who are organically altered to sustain the otherworldly climate of the asteroids they inhabit. Without a regular dose of
Germane, the Space Pirates would shortly suffer severe poisoning from the earth's atmosphere. Therefore, it is of extreme importance to the space Pirates to have such stores with radio signal emitting signs. These signs look reasonably harmless to ordinary humans, but are an integral part of the Space Pirate's infiltration plan. These signs, when spotted, should be reported to International Publications World Wide, which is the central organisation of enlightened humans, who will know exactly what to do. Humans should not stay for too long in the vicinity of such signs, because leakage can occur. Germane is a colorless gas with a pungent odor that is not detectable by some people. It is a flammable gas that may form mixtures with air that are flammable or explosive. Germane is reactive with oxidizers and halogens. The gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition is possible. It may spontaneously ignite on contact with air.
