At night on Mars, is very lonely,
So we take advantage of this chance!
Signore Madblood,
Please show us method
Of doing horizontal dance!

Mars need of man!
We tire from war with Venus!
Demonstrate this act between us,
Full of passion and obsceneness!
Mars need of man!
You are the human only!
Please teach as many as you can … Madblood!
Mars need … of man!

In that context, then, these bizarre turns of plot start to make a few more licks of sense.
