they had satisfied their mutual needs, he had collected genetic material from her and analyzed it; there would be many barriers and obstacles to overcome in bringing human genetics into the Khateen’s genetic material, but he was more than willing to spend the rest of his indeterminate stay on the planet learning the nuances of Adriana’s sexuality, and the contours of her body.
    Joran glanced over at the bed where Adriana was fast asleep, exhausted from their efforts at exploring each other’s bodies. He smiled to himself. He had not thought when he had embarked on the mission that he would meet a mate; he had never considered the possibility that a human woman would suit him. He stood up from his console, moving towards the bed. Perhaps in a few minutes, Adriana would awaken, and they would be able to experiment some more. The idea sent a hot jolt through him; Joran could barely wait.

Double Quest
     
    Lenth stepped into the nearly deserted bar, looking around constantly. His gaze flicked from one human to another, sizing up prospects and trying to understand the complex behavior going on around him; he saw a few females—but most of them appeared to be working, walking briskly from one table to another or standing behind the long, ancient-looking bar itself.
    Lenth’s gaze settled on a figure unlike the rest of the patrons; the man was sitting at a booth, glancing around just as interestedly as Lenth had been. Anyone looking at Lenth and the other man—who had arrived fifteen minutes prior—would have assumed that they were brothers, or at the very least cousins; they shared the same skin tone: a shade somewhere between brown and gray—an unusual color, though not entirely out of the realm of human possibility—and a similar build: lean, muscular, and almost too tall to quite be believed. Where Lenth had close-cropped, thick brown hair, the other man’s was a few inches longer, unnatural-looking silver. Both men also had unearthly-looking blue-green eyes.
    Lenth strode through the quiet bar towards the booth, his lips curling in a smile at the sight of his fellow scientist. “Bronn,” he said, sitting down across from the other man. “I apologize for my tardiness.” Bronn mimicked his smile, glancing around the room once more.
    “I’m just glad you’re here,” Bronn responded. He shifted into their native language. “Our superiors are beginning to become anxious.” Lenth nodded.
    “I think your idea is a good one,” Lenth said. They had spoken previously about their mutual troubles; neither of them had had any success in the goal of their mission, the goal that all of the scientists on their mission had.
    “It would be better than being sent back to Khatanar,” Bronn agreed. Lenth smiled, shaking his head. The planet they came from—called Tau Ceti e by the humans—was far enough away that neither scientist was in a hurry to return alone.
    “They wouldn’t send us back, they’d just make our lives miserable.”
    “They’d send us back if we went much longer without any progress,” Bronn countered. “I have no interest in being crammed into a capsule and sent back.”
    “How are we going to approach this?” Lenth asked.
    “I’ve studied human reproduction extensively,” Bronn said, lifting the mug of what Lenth’s own extensive research told him was beer to his lips and taking a long sip. “I have seen several references to human sexuality that seem to suggest that in certain situations, humans mate in groups of three instead of pairs.”
    “I have seen a few of these references,” Lenth agreed. On the months that the voyage to this planet had taken, all of the scientists had reviewed as much as they could, studying the facets of human sexuality. “But it seems to be the exception rather than the rule. Do you believe it’s a fertility issue?”
    “None of the other reports suggest that it is.” Bronn sat back on the bench, sighing. “I believe—from what I have studied—that
