Alien Encounters

 

Vasquez was enjoying her unexpected shore leave.  After a long night of delicious lovemaking, she and Saavik lay curled comfortably around one another.

 

"I don't mind the bug hunt being canceled, but just what is the Federation planning to do with those butt-ugly aliens, anyway?"

 

"Nothing."  Saavik stretched lazily.  "They're to be left alone.  Prime Directive."

 

That was just one of several things that didn't make sense to Vasquez.

 

"Someone told me Vulcans are interested in sex only once every seven years."

 

"Male Vulcans, yes," Saavik clarified.  "Which means, naturally, that female Vulcans are heterosexual only once every seven years."
