So much for a good theory!
A genetically engineered {Sambogh 'ej HoHbogh nejwI'} "hunter-killer probe"
- or {yIH HoHwI'} - was it?
Was it by any chance a reptile? Dr Phlox once said about tribbles, "They
are outlawed on most worlds [due to their prodigious breeding]. Their
population is kept in check by the abundance of reptiles on their
homeworld" before casually feeding one to a lab animal. (ENT "The Breach")
