Next up is the planet of the frog peole. Well, planet of the frog''person'': Ulysees Meregrass, an Anuran war consultant; and his clients, a hive of giant alien aphids. Meregrass also has datachip-shaped jewelry, so the Doctor and Martha stick close to him while he strategizes with the hive queen about their war against... humans, who ''also'' live on the planet. And who, it turns out, were there first, and were ''attacked'' by the aphids, and are the good guys [[HumansAreBastards for a change]]. The Doctor brings about peace by posing as a pirate leader, Doctor Vile, of the Mantasphid, in a bit of over-the-top voice work from Creator/DavidTennant.
