'''The Trouble With Tribbles''' is a classic [[Star Trek]] episode about a conflict between the Federation and the Klingons. The Federation wants to claim Sherman's Planet, with the aid of a grain hybrid called quadratriticale, and a Federation official uses (or abuses) a high priority distress call to get Starfleet security on the wheat, stored in a space station. Meanwhile, a trader is selling tribbles: cute, little furry animals whose trilling has "a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system."
A Klingon ship arrives to claim [[shore leave]] rights. Uhuru brings a free sample tribble back to the ship, and it spawns over a dozen more by the next day, the same size as itself. McCoy brings one to the lab to find out "what makes it tick", and it spawns 10 more.
