Day Two on Planet Demon Solar Inferno!

Day Two on Planet, 100-Degrees, Full Solar Array

Do all required missions and exploration of nearby alien villages before the demon solar inferno rises above a 45 degree angle to the horizon. While it is unadvisable to ingest the native fermented barley liquid while operating the valuable TerraLander equipment, it seems to be the preferred refreshing beverage among the aliens here in the most severe heat of the Terra Day. Must make notes for further investigation and possible experiments with this golden grain "water", that flows here like water does on our Home Planet. Instead of layering on more protective clothing to shield them from the demon solar inferno, the aliens reveal almost every fragment of their fragile skins, making almost a pretense of being clothed, whereupon they begin to burn, turn red and perspire what must surely be 100% "beer", the aliens' word for their fermented barley liquid. They appear to ingest little else during this demon solar season, and the shelves of their mercantile hubs are cleared of even the most inferior version of this "beer". As the demon solar inferno lowers below a 45 degree angle to the horizon, the aliens then proceed with another very curious custom, again specific to this heat season, of making flaming sacrifices to their gods, involving elaborate fire devices, slabs of sacred animals, fowl and even sea creatures, again accompanied by copious drinking of their ritual "beer". When their young are present, these sacrifices usually remain on the tame level, but when involving only sexually mature adults, utter mayhem predictably ensues, debauchery, staggering movements, unconscious jerking motions known to them as "dancing", and loud calls to nearby adult groups to "dragyerassover", whatever that may mean in the native dialect.
This planet does not appear to be technologically advanced to the level of inventing air conditioning, and seems content to suffer the demon solar inferno yearly, perhaps providing the aliens with a socially approved season of mass consumption of the chilled golden barley liquid in some sort of as yet not understood harvest festival ritual. Much further study is required here by the TerraTeamScientists to better understand this planet and its inhabitants, as well as some probable hands-on experiments with their curious substances they use ritually---for example:

bar-bee-cue sauce----blood-colored liquid poured onto the animal sacrifices-what does it mean?? More tribute to their demon solar fire gods?
mar-gar-ree-tah--pond water like liquid with crunchy salt crystals--why? which of their heathen gods does this worship?
poe-tay-toe-sal-id---easily prone to spoilage, this paste of ground-fruit chunks and various other vegetables in small pieces with a yellow and/or white gel of some kind is extremely popular, with local variations depending on regional preferences and how close the aliens are to discovering ice and other cold technologies. Usually containing eggs, must be some sort of fertility ritual food.

I will file the remainder of my daily report after spending more time amongst these aliens during this Demon Solar Inferno Day. One of the TerraTeam has to launch a ruthlessly thorough experiment with this golden barley liquid, and we are meeting in the lab to decide which of us will direct it. "Going Undercover in Full Disguise" will be required. As the demon solar inferno is climbing even higher on the horizon, I must sign off and begin my experiments for today. One is to construct a shade cloth to protect the fragile plantlings from the direct rays of the D.S.I. in our PlantLab, also to foray to the other TerraTeam outpost to feed and monitor the cats and plantlings at that PlantLab, and also to run a distance mission to the alien refugee mercantile hub where we have established a stealth location to monitor local alien buying habits and to acquire some of their currency. As always, the TerraTeam hopes the D.S.I. will not harm our equipment or sap all of our precious and endangered Terra Braincells and Neurosynapses. Perhaps the chilled "beer" provides some protection to the aliens in this regard.
