Unfortunately for some of the characters, they have to go speak to the spider.
Yes, the spider is one of 14 animals who can talk and they have to speak to-

Old post reminded me of a random fact. An F-15 can fly from the US to the UK without refueling. The F-15s have a max ferry range of about 3,600 miles, or around 7 hours of continuous flying. With mid-air refueling, an F-15 could fly from the US to France or Germany non-stop.
And when the F-111Cs were delivered to the RAAF in 1973, they flew from the US to Australia with one refueling / rest stop. The F-111Cs carried 33,000lbs of fuel in internal tanks (a flying gas station).

I just picture someone hanging from a wing with oil falling on birds 
Aircraft and oil top-ups…
Random trivia. Combat aircraft sometimes use cargo (luggage) pods for ‘holiday trips’ away from base.
At least there’s no fighting for overhead storage space…better baggage handling than the civilian counterparts too…

Does the Nibiru Cataclysm count as a strange thing to research?

It’s a take on Sumerian mythology based on the book “The 12th Planet” (I have it. It’s interesting but complete nonsense) but originally came from this woman who claimed she was "told by aliens / the gods) that a planet would have a close encounter with earth, causing a major pole shift that would essentially wipe out all earth.
The short version is that people thought (and still think) that the plant Nibiru (a.k.a. Planet X) comes to Earth every 3,600 years during its orbit of the sun. During that time, the “gods” (Anunnaki) come down to humanity with technology and advanced knowledge. It’s a pseudoarcheology thing.
Back in 2012 when everyone thought it was the end of the world (thanks a lot for that, Mayans!), the Nibiru Cataclysm had a popular resurgence because the nuts (conspiracy theorists) thought the planet Nibiru would crash into earth or have a near miss that would throw our planet into chaos and kill all life on earth.
There’s even a theory that Nibiru is a primordial black hole.
It still pops up every now and then but is losing popularity. Even so, people still believe Nibiru is coming to destroy humanity, mainly because NASA had to put out a statement saying it doesn’t exist. People take pictures of “planets” (usually comets) in the sky and claim it’s Nibiru and going to destroy us. It did recently start getting popular in the media recently when NASA said they were hunting for a planet beyond the Kuiper Belt (Planet X) to explain strange gravitational phenomenon within it. Interestingly, as a side note, Pluto was actually discovered while searching for Planet X.
If it isn’t obvious, I love reading space conspiracy theories. I’m using this one for one of my books But there’s also a whole lot of other stuff like Nemesis (the Second Sun), Sedna (which actually does exist), Planet V (thought to have existed between Mars and the Asteroid Belt), Vulcan (thought to have been between Mercury and the Sun, Tyche (theorized gas giant in the Oort Cloud), etc. Some of them are yet to be disproven to this day
