“Then it's not recreational?”

“No. At least, I don't think so.”

“That's dumb.” He turned to shout in Kim's direction. “Hey, Harry, look up.”

For a moment Kim glanced upward, but almost immediately turned his attention back to the guard. Paris doubted that the glider had even registered on him.

As Paris watched, the glider swooped down to circle over the ship, and he felt the hot needle of envy in his soul. Not that he wished to be hanging in midair between two wings, no, thank you. But it reminded him of Voyager, and how badly he wanted to be back on that ship's bridge, awaiting Kathryn Janeway's command.

The glider made one more lazy circle and landed neatly upon the foredeck.

Show's over. Stop mooning, Thomas. Paris stood up and sauntered over to bedevil Harry Kim a bit. “Hey, Harry. Planning a change of career?” he said. “Thinking of giving up the operations game and becoming a darra herder instead? Want to settle down here at sea?”

Kim frowned sharply. “Real funny, Tom. I just think this is a rare opportunity to learn about these unusual animals. Besides, it keeps me from paying attention to my stomach.”

He turned back to the Micaszians and Paris heard him ask eagerly, “Have you tried to increase the number of offspring they have or increase their breeding cycles?”

“It's not possible,” Assurna replied.

“How do they reproduce?”

“Parthenogenically, by budding. The lack of food seems to trigger the breeding hormone.”
