Back on the ship, the lieutenant tells the captain of the ship that he's going to be sent off to "crazy kurtz" . The lieutenant says he'll be harvesting venom for the naggiars, and the captain says that's a good idea. The captain tells the lieutenant that they're no longer in colonial times, and that the natives are smarter than they are. He also says that they can use the terms "nidoror" and "sulidor" instead of "beasts" , since the natives don't have the same intelligence as the natives. Doctor Wingate says that when he first came to see him in the exoplanet archives, he was disappointed to say no, but then he realized that it was a mistake not to take the opportunity to go to the holeman's world.
