@Michael I didn’t know MUDS either but according to Wikipedia, “In geotechnical engineering, drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud, is used to aid the drilling of boreholes into the earth.” So, not mud in the colloquial sense. The plural form appears throughout the article. SELENITES was fun. I got it half from crosses, half from guessing. I’ve seen enough Mystery Science Theater 3000 to know an old timey alien species ending in -ITES is a pretty safe guess.
