I for one have never come across anyone I'd seem suitable for family building. I'm sure you know how much blood is on my hands, so to speak."
He took a few moments to think about Doc's question.
"I You solve the fertility problem, senor, the whole of Malta would honour you and shower you with whatever you could possibly desire. It's our achilies heel, so to speak. Our pilots, as you know are the best in Sirius. Our combat skills allow us to take on multiple enemies at once and come out on top like it's a walk in the park. Just as well, given we can only field a small fraction of combat pilots versus our enemy's."
He paused, clearly in deep thought before raising his eyes to the Doctor once more
"Perhaps if the Fertility problem was not a problem, we'd perhaps not have to be so aggressive by nature. Tell me what you'd need to begin your research, I will supply you with whatever you require.
