{If One could laugh One would, I am barely a child of
87 years, and will not mate till it close to time for
our species to die, but then again, our
biology/ecology has changed so I may live longer than
the usual 1000 or so. Our species dies off every 1000
years to allow the planet to recover for 1000, while
our eggs are watched over by a Great Mother, hatched
to watch over the eggs of our people. But The Kirk may
have changed all that.}
