Appeared in Unidentified Funny Objects 6.
Dena Malone, an investigative partner with the muscular Ramos, keeps a wrist bangle that speaks for the alien symbiote in her peritoneum, Dr. K't'ank. The alien is a "straight man" and laughs at jokes at its own expense.
A body is found, reeking. Only Dr. K't'ank appreciates it. It turns out that scents are the bottom of it--playing off aromatherapy, raising it to a science.
A solid science fiction mystery, which delivers puns and reworking standards for this particular universe she's created.
