{My people also, we have a natural revulsion of
organic things, so to speak. To us, organic
intelligent life is as amazing as we were to yours.
Some of our people and other inorganics severly
dislike organics, there is even a secret trinary
pulse/word they use that roughly translates to 'ugly
bags of mostly water', much like the Ferengi word for
humans meaning 'bank accounts without brains'.
Our thinking processes, as all life forms, vastly
differ. What is say, funny, to one people is not to
others. Such as my interpretation of Fleet codes, such
as when I severly had to call down the shipping
officer, when Engineering materials we needed which
was marked priority, and he held them till his shift
next day, when he should have had them delivered by
following shift as this is a three shift station.
Regulations say they must be deliveredas soon as
posssible.}
