Why did the Space Chicken cross the galaxy?

Rok stood staring at the data. Link was speaking but he had tuned out most of the bridge noises by now. This puzzle was beginning to annoy him. Even with a greater appreciation for all the emotions he now experienced..this was his least favorite...he was trying not to let little things get to him...a phrase used by one of his men came to mind...."sweating the small stuff." And these alien poultry "things" certainly fit the description.

 

But things werent adding up. Their intelligence was GREATLY underestimated...refusal to eat their own...coherent patterns of DNA on critical systems... altered logs missing any other recognizable form of DNA other than their own...all the data pointed to these creatures piloting the craft. He pulled up the data in the main computer on the creatures. The bodies werent suited for this....it didnt make any sense. An evolutionary jump would be required for them to adequately man a vessel..."It just doesnt make sense.." said Rok..inadvertently out loud. Link turned and looked incredulously at the pseudo-Vulcan.

 

Rok half-smiled and almost appeared embarrassed....." Sorry..."
