prefer to forego. It's not that I'm not
interested, but it's just this IS a new idea to me. I haven't had any
experience with women in your condition."
29 "Your wife HASN'T yet?" asked one of the women.
30 "No," answered North, "we want it, but it just hasn't happened yet.
So if you don't mind, I'd just rather talk awhile until Doc gets done
whatever he's doing."
31 One of the women rose, and walked over to where North stood. "The
only problem is, Commander," she stated, "is that we DO mind! We DO
mind, VERY MUCH!"
32 What happened next North wasn't quite sure of. It all just seemed
to be a whirling hot dream. The only thing he remembered for sure, was
the Doctor coming for him and laughing when the women told him of their
difficult conquest.
33 As they headed back for the beam tubes the Doctor took out a
portable scanner and ran it up and down North. "Much better! " he
remarked, "Much better! Your hormone levels are far nearer where they should be. Got to get you
in more of these places!"
34 "No way!" argued North. "I'll admit, that was interesting, but I
don't think my wife is going to appreciate it!"
35 "Oh, Hades!" laughed the Doctor, "She's a Hashon. She understands a
man's needs far better than any of our women do. And she'll probably
appreciate it that you're a little wound down when you get home.
Anyways, I've already made a deal. They like your genes and figure to
be doing alot of producing with you. A nice young hero like you is good
stock on the market."
36 "No way!" gasped North, "No way!"
37 "Either that," said the Doctor, "or I start putting you on drugs, to
bring those hormones down and ground you until I can figure out what to
blazes is causing it."
