Ah. Yes. I forget at times that Commander Spock is an unusual sight aboard a Starfleet ship. [ particularly now, in this timeline, in which vulcans are the endangered species. ]
He did scream when he first noticed me. He's lucky that I'm not my sister. [ the jibbering weirdo, he means. ]
Considering the various personalities of your command crew, I'm not surprised.
I've been told that more Vulcans join later, in other times. I'm not sure how much that'll happen here, but I hope so. One of the biggest strengths of Starfleet, at least in my opinion, relies on continued diversity.
Have you still been staring at him during this conversation, by the way? He's safe and sound in there or whatever, snug as a bug in a rug, never escaping the brig, etcetera, so if you haven't yet feel free to, uh, do some other leisure activity.
I've got a good crew. Best in the fleet, and that one's not opinion.
I expect that given enough time, there will be others here. Perhaps not in our lifetimes, though.
No. I already got what I wanted out of him. The report should be waiting for you. I didn't torture him. [ .. just in case that was in question. that much was thankfully never part of his duties. ]
Thanks. I'll take a look. [ then: ] Didn't figure you did, but the confirmation's always appreciated.
[ because one, narek really does not seem like the kind of guy one would task with being a torturer, and two, the very very clear and firm chat ANY newcomer gets, especially ones from other timelines, about how we simply do not fucking commit war crimes or any of that nonsense here on the enterprise. ]
Perhaps given enough time, the same thing that happened in my timeline will happen here, and Romulans and Vulcans will begin to find new common ground. I expect they'll need to eventually. Romulus is still doomed, after all.
[ forewarned being forearmed, maybe the senate and praetor here will eventually listen to reason, and begin looking for a new homeworld.. but he's not particularly hopeful, considering. ]
It seemed prudent to put it in writing, so to speak.
