Sulu apparently knew that Ianto would gladly join him on the shuttles any time, since instead of replying he simply laughed and shook his head. "Promise I won't get into any games of chicken with other shuttles when you're around," he said, pulling out his tricorder, measuring various stats with it in one hand as he gently pulled and prodded the plant itself.

"And yeah - they're definitely the biggest thing we've seen on the planet so far. I bet they'd be great for barbequing," he said with a grin. Actually, that was pretty tempting - maybe they could catch one and have an old-fashioned roast later. Of course, he'd have to check them and make sure they weren't poisonous, but he sincerely doubted it. They probably tasted like catfish.

He was so busy contemplating just how the fish would taste roasted over a fire and checking the readings of his tricorder that he didn't notice the soft noise of something moving in the trees across the river. Even if he had - it was probably nothing.
