Janeway asked Gath whether, if he would not give the technology to Voyager's crew, the Sikarians could send Voyager as far as possible in exchange for "stories", which were treasured on his pleasure-loving planet. Gath insisted on discussing the proposition with the other Sikarian magistrates, but he was in no hurry to do so. He did invite the crew to stay on his planet, but they refused. Disobeying orders, several members of the crew obtained the technology from the planet's black market, but it was incompatible with Federation technology. (VOY: "Prime Factors")
