Chelonia, Chel – o – nia!
Goddess preserve Chelonia as the boundaries of its dominion spread to a wideness that is almost unbelievable,
And flagrantly incomprehensible to the minds of lesser creatures.

Particularly where this concerns the attempts by parasites to establish communities that, laughably, presume a degree of social intelligence. (PROSE: Zamper)
