Kyeo doesn't remember enough of the fight to know what happened, and his head is killing him, but when he checks he still has his sidearm and also now he's apparently crashlanded on a planet with absolutely awful-looking hostile fauna, wow, and that one's coming his way much too fast and he draws and shoots.

It didn't breed quite true, though - the next generation did have the ability to turn to stone at a command word, but it was a different command word for each one, and no way to tell what it was. So the guy had a thousand hamsters that were totally normal unless you happened to somehow guess, and he was giving them away to anyone who'd take one."
