Fortunately, there aren’t any other species remaining, so now we have the room for these guys. Even better, when the ship gets too full, we can pump some of them out of the air lock in case we get lost and need a trail to follow back to known space.
Do tribbles still exist? When Deep Space 9 had a little fun sending the crew back in time to ‘The Trouble With Tribbles’ episode of the original series, didn’t they say that the Klingons had destroyed the home planet of the tribbles? Of course once Cyrano Jones took them away from their home they could have migrated anywhere . . .
Just remembered that I own a couple of tribbles – bought them at a Star Trek convention many years ago. Of course since I didn’t feed them, they never reproduced.
Yeah, David Gerrold claims he didn’t steal the idea from Heinlein (at least consciously) but I have my doubts.(Heinlein graciously said that he had stolen it from the classic short story “Pigs is Pigs” when the Star Trek producers asked for his permission to use the plot.)
But I remember just seeing the trailer for next week’s episode back in the mid 60s when I was in my teens and pointing at the screen and shouting “Flat cats!”

Yup, and he limits the stock by limiting the amount of food they get.

And that my friends is “The Trouble With Tribbles”.

I hope this doesn’t mean a crossover from Brewster Rockit – The Next Generation.

Isn’t anybody else concerned that Brewster seems to have turned into a zombie?

Brewster is going to use that tiny space ship to transfer two of each species from that planet? Noah way!
