• [the away team has come to a menagerie to rescue two humans] 

  Jack Ransom : I know you're taking a hit losing these guys. We appreciate your positive attitude.

  Narj : Not to worry. My real moneymakers are the Pyrithian Swamp Gobblers.

  [Narj indicates the Pyrithian Swamp Gobblers' cage holding two terrifying-looking beasts with large teeth and screeching roars] 

  Moopsy : [camera pans down to reveal a moopsy, a cute little creature outside the Pyrithian Swamp Gobblers' cage. A Pyrithian Swamp Gobbler sees the moopsy, stops roaring, and backs away from the moopsy, whining with fear]  Moopsy!

  Narj : [nonchalantly]  Hmm?

  Narj : [suddenly terrified]  Oh, fuck! The moopsy is free!

  Beckett Mariner : [mockingly]  Oh, no, your cuddliest prisoner is loose. Whatever shall we do?

  Narj : You don't understand! Everything here is incredibly dangerous!

  Moopsy : [Moopsy climbs through an access panel into the Pyrithian Swamp Gobblers' cage]  Moopsy!

  Jack Ransom : Can't be worse than the swamp gobblers.

  Narj : Of course it's worse! They only gobble you. The moopsy drinks your bones!

  Beckett Mariner : How does something drink bones?

  Beckett Mariner : [Moopsy jumps on the back of a swamp gobbler, bites its neck, then sucks on it, causing the gobbler to collapse into a boneless mass of flesh]  Holy fuck!

  Narj : Run! Run for your lives!

  [Moopsy attacks other Pyrithian Swamp Gobbler, drinks all of its bones] 

  Jack Ransom , Beckett Mariner , Ensign Gary : [running from cage room, screaming] 

  Moopsy : [casually waddling out of the Pyrithian Swamp Gobblers' cage into the cage room]  Moopsy!

• Beckett Mariner : I just wish we could've figured out how this little guy got out in the first place. I mean, it clearly wasn't Narj; dude was *brimming* with bones.

  Jack Ransom : Let's get these humans out of here. Starfleet Security can figure it out.

  Ensign Gary : Well, at least it wasn't our fault. You know, humans are always blamed for being dangerous,

  [Mariner eyes something suspiciously] 

  Ensign Gary : but we don't have claws or fangs or...

  Beckett Mariner : Hey, that umbrella is upside down, yeah?

  [the panel falls off the wall, revealing what appear to be controls. The woman in the enclosure tries to hide it, resulting in the moopsy's door opening; Mariner closes it before the moopsy can escape again] 

  Beckett Mariner : Did you fuckers rewire the moopsy door? You could've got us all killed!

  Jack Ransom : Wow. I guess humans really are the most dangerous game.

  Ensign Gary : Damn it.
