"Kafka?" Ray's brow creases again in puzzlement. "Sorry, I only remember the one about the giant cockroach. No, I think it's a code designation. He works for a bureau that monitors, polices, and governs alien activity on his world's Earth. Does your world have stories of 'men in black' who turn up out of nowhere and hush up inconvenient incidents or discoveries? Like that."

He sighs. "Didn't know about the pregnancy thing. That explains a bit, you're right. On the other hand, I really don't know what to tell Naraht if the justice system issue comes up again. He gets kind of dramatic about issues around here- stuff that I agree is a problem, like Q, but he takes it to a degree that makes me really uncomfortable. Maybe it's just the silicon mindset... I don't know."
