* [[Aliens Speaking English]] - Every language ever created and going to be created, apparently.
* [[Ancient Astronauts]] - ''Aquila'' originally crashed on Earth at some point thousands of years ago and was found by a Roman centurion, who used it to explore the world and build up an unprecedented collection of ancient treasures.

* [[The Tell]] - One of the protagonists' mothers realises he's upset when he begins sorting his rock collection.
