Octavio Briswald’s field notes

It is the most disconcerting phenomenon! The localized atmosphere on which the snake moves renders it completely silent. The first indication that it’s nearby is a chilly, moist sensation around the ankles, followed almost immediately by a sharp stinging as its teeth sink into your calf.

Luckily its venom has no effect on either of us, but it is exasperatingly hard to dislodge. The most recent time I was bitten, Fitzmurdle was indisposed. Unable to remove the pertinacious serpent on my own, I got into the bath with it still attached to my leg.

It proved capable of holding its breath for up to 15 minutes, but when I added foaming Kaladian thorn-flower gel to the water, it let go and slithered out, radiating disapproval from every scale.


Other mentions: T'Pol was once compared unfavorably to one of these. (ENT)
