In which job perks are a fluid asset.
The species of Titan V were well known to astrobiologists for their compatibility. Nearly every one could breed with another; traits were primarily inherited from one parent, while the other provided only rare mutations. Research scientists dispatched to the planet with their advanced tech were immediately revered as gods, and the leading scientist anointed as Queen-Priestess. Enjoying nearly unlimited power did not, however, excempt her from the local traditional fertility ceremony. Just as Titan V must emerge from its winter season and the soil impregnated by its sun, the Queen too, as embodiment of it, submitted to the tribes in an orgy festival that lasted days. This ensured the planet's livelihood, and gave all the tribes a chance of providing an heir. The concept of an incompatible species being foreign to them, however, and the Queen apparently deeming their seed unworthy year after year, these orgy festivals soon took on a certain... excessive character. Needless to say, the leading scientist position was soon sought out by individuals with very specific preferences.
