What'd you've said to Banjoman if you'd been Captain?

[Guy Gardener]

Part I. Imagine that a quarter of your crew had just been negligently homicided by a spaceman looking for rape victims thinking you or someone on your crew could mother his children and then "raise" this spawn as a soloparent tethered to the responsibility of Caretaking for the Ocampa from being enslaved or eaten by the Kazon as well as feeding the Ocampa with that gruel they like so much, if that is the pregnancy or birthing was not a terminalizing affair that "Mommy" wouldn't be around to teach banjobaby right from wrong... What would you have said to this entity as he claims he is dying and he's too lazy to send you home because the math is a slightly involved? What would you say?

Part II. If the pregnancy had taken in Kim or B'Elanna, or the caretaker had continued to rape the crew. Would you have ordered the "mother" to terminate the pregnancy?

Part III. If you had allowed the pregnancy to run it's course, would you have waited around in kazon space till the "child" was Born, or till the child was ready to assume it's destiny, or just set the hell course for home?

"Can you play a little bit of the melody from Come On Eileen?"

"A banjo player, really? I come all this way, get ripped into a distant part of the galaxy and all I get is a dying alien who's imagination is so limited that he picks a country banjo player? To hell with this, let the tattoo guy handle this one. I'll be on the ship."

"Banjo Man, do you know the Muffin Man?"

"Do you know classical gas?"

"Banjoman, do you mind if we put some TIMED EXPLOSIVES on your array, use its funky techno-jazz to send us home, and THEN blow your joint up? Wouldn't THAT make more sense and let us BOTH get our wish? Huh? WOULDN'T IT?!?!"
