• Capt. Ed Mercer : So, um... what do Mochlans do for fun off-duty? Do you guys play, like, board games or anything like that?

  Lt. Cmdr. Bortus : There is a popular Mochlan game called Latchkum that we play from time to time.

  Capt. Ed Mercer : Oh, well, break it out. Show me.

  Lt. Cmdr. Bortus : I do not believe you would enjoy it. It is not for humans.

  Capt. Ed Mercer : Come on. You know what? There's so much I don't know about your culture. I-I want to... I want to learn.

  Klyden : [a few moments later]  I will pass the Latchkum to you, then you pass it to whomever you wish as quckly as possible.

  Capt. Ed Mercer : All right.

  [they take turns passing it back and forth] 

  Capt. Ed Mercer : So, what, does this just go on until somebody...

  [a sharp spike protrudes from the Latchkum and impales his hand] 

  Capt. Ed Mercer : AHHH!

  Lt. Cmdr. Bortus , Klyden : Latchkum!
