If you're going to have sex with an alien species, make sure to talk to your doctor first. Chances are they secrete pheromones that will alter your way of thinking, secrete oils that will give you an allergic reaction, have spines attached to their genitals, or have suckers on their tentacles. If that doesn't put you off the experience, we'd at least like to make sure we've vaccinated you against whatever they might be carrying -- which we can do in 2258, at least where I come from. We'd also like to get a look at your partner, especially if it's a species we don't know much about. That'll make our job easier later on.

Remember that a lot of species, even humanoid ones, are probably stronger than you. Vulcans, Romulans, and Klingons all have two legs and two arms, but they can break you in half. Hell, in Klingon society, breaking a clavicle on the wedding night is considered a blessing. A lot of species may think that you having sex with them is a proposal of marriage, too; make sure you know your alien cultures before you stick it in, because if they're part of the Federation, it might be legally binding.

[A decently long pause before she asks,] You're human, aren't you?

Last time I checked.

I've never heard of any Federation. [Or any of those other species he mentioned, for that matter.] Are Krityans part of it? [Thereby giving a hint to exactly what she might be, with her crazy ears and her antenna things.]

I've never heard of Krityans, so my guess would be no.

Hm

[She looks thoughtful.]

I wonder why there seem to be so many humans and so few of us.

Word has it that a lot of nonhumans spend time in the Underground, but word also has it that most of 'em aren't too friendly.

It's a good question, though. One I wish I could answer, though I'm not sure I'd like it.
