Hello. I am Cyrano Jones. I am an intergalactic trader. Captain Kirk feels I am a general nuisance. Among my wares, I deal in articles such as Spican flame gems, Antarean glow water and tribbles.In 2268, I was present on the Federation Deep Space Station K-7 during the Klingon plot to control Sherman's Planet. Kirk said I was responsible for the station's infestation with tribbles, which I was sentenced to clean up or face a twenty-year prison sentence for transporting a dangerous lifeform off its native planet. My sentence was expected to take 17.9 years.I managed to escape my sentence and made off for a Klingon planet where I illegally sold a number of tribbles.In 2269, while on the Klingon planet, I acquired a genetically engineered Klingon tribble-predator called a glommer, which I claimed under space salvage laws. I escaped the planet in a one-manned Federation scoutship and was pursued by a Klingon battle cruiser commanded by Captain Koloth for causing ecological sabotage to the planet.
The USS Enterprise rescued me and a number of tribbles from my scout ship moments before the Klingons destroyed it. Kirk immediately arrested me for breaking the law for transporting animals proven harmful as well as for three violations of Federation mandates and forty-seven local ones. I, however, declared that they are safe tribbles and that I had genetically engineered for compatibility with humanoid ecology -- as they were incapable of reproducing.Koloth contacted the Enterprise demanding they turn me and the glommer over, noting that they were even prepared to go to war if they had to. Kirk refused until Koloth explained that they need the glommer I stole in order to grow more of them so that they may rid the Klingon planet of the tribbles I had sold on it, before it becomes completely over-run.Kirk handed over the glommer to Koloth, and following the successful removal of the tribbles from the Enterprise, turned me over to the proper authorities
