Personal Log #6...4th Wall
[Spock was.... rather curious at the unexpected influx of individuals without wings...
In his mind, the Vulcan was making theories that included black holes, transporters, ion storms...It was frustrating that the nature of this world made it impossible to pin down any one theory.
Spock can be found traveling to the Dome in the morning, and working there for the rest of the day.
In the evening the Vulcan's curiosity gets the better of him and he stops by Seventh Heaven to see who all is there.]

[He's not, but his smile returns. A defense mechanism, of a sort]
Tell me about you, Spock. I'm curious. You're definitely not human either.
no subject
His Captain wears it...]
You are correct... though I have a feeling that you have heard of me before... yes?
no subject
no subject
It is not to be compared to my universe.
no subject
[He smiles genially]
But you are a Vulcan, right? From the Enterprise? Good name for a ship that, Enterprise. Very bold.
no subject
The youngest crew in 'fleet history, under the orders of one Captain James Tiberius Kirk.
The Enterprise' maiden voyage was one point three years ago... under stressful conditions. [Good job Spock, way to understate...
Where was the chocolate when you needed it...]
no subject
[He raises an eyebrow]
What sort of stressful conditions, Spock? If you don't mind my asking. I love hearing a good story.
no subject
The Vulcan takes a seat.] Apparently the whole situation was my fault.
One hundred and sixty years in the future, the planet Romulus is in danger of complete destruction by its dying sun. Myself, with a team of Vulcans create a substance called Red Matter... it is an anti-matter substance that is similar to a black hole.
I was too late, and the planet was destroyed. [Spock had met his older counterpart... who had explained the situation to him.]
Romulus was gone... and in seeking revenge a mining faction set out to kill Ambassador Spock whose only chance of escape was to use the Red Matter to create a black hole, which transported both to the year 2230... Where the Romulans destroyed a ship which my held my Captain's father...
[Spock took a moment to collect his thoughts...]
no subject
And as he gets on with the story, the Doctor just stays silent, not wanting to interrupt. Anyone else maybe, but this was Spock.]
no subject
The ship did not appear again until twenty five years later. There was a distress call from my home planet, Vulcan of seismic activity... The whole fleet went out to the call, the Enterprise' maiden voyage.
She would have been destroyed along with the rest of the fleet if not for the inexperience of our helmsmen. When we arrived, the ship was attacking Vulcan, drilling into its core because they now had in their possession the Red Matter...
[Spock's fingers, in an not so Vulcan move, started to trace the lines of the wooden table...] I managed to beam down to the planet in time to save most of the Vulcan high council... but I was not quick enough to save my mother who fell to her death before my eyes.
Vulcan was consumed by the black hole, and I was emotionally compromised. Our Captain, Christopher Pike, was captured by the Romulans, and left me in charge...I nearly killed my Captain when I forced him off the ship...
Incidentally he met my older counterpart... The Romulans left him there so that he could watch his planet be destroyed in justification for their own planet.
If you are aware of the antics of James Tiberius Kirk, you would know that in a most... fascinating turn of events, he made it back to the ship... relieved me of being Captain, and destroyed the Romulan ship whose new destination was Earth.
[Spock skimmed over the details...] I am now living in an alternate timeline... an altered universe in which two versions of me live.
[Spock finally looked up at the Doctor... looking to see his reaction...]
no subject
[The Doctor's reaction was one of...basically shock and deep, deep sympathy. He's visibly wilting at the thought.]
Oh, I'm so sorry. So, so sorry, Spock.
[And he really, really means it. He knows what that feels like. Seeing your friends and family die? Yea. Being one of the last of your race? Yea. And being involved in it personally? Oh, he knows that feeling too.]
no subject
Spock could feel that he could relate to what the Vulcan experienced.]
It is difficult yes? But there are always those who will support you... and they often come from the most illogical sources.
no subject
I'm afraid not in my case, actually. But that's alright. I'm used to it.
But you, you've got friends. And a ship, and a crew, and all sorts of wonderful adventures ahead of you.
[And if truth be told? He's a might jealous]
no subject
The Vulcan regards the Doctor...] You have no one at all?
no subject
[Not since Rose, anyway.]
no subject
How long have you been alone Doctor?
no subject
[He shrugs and smiles sadly.]
I'm alright. I'm always alright.
no subject
no subject
[Time War guilt? Time War guilt]
It's a lot, sometimes. Being the last of the Time Lords, but really, I'm alright. Boldly going where no-one has been in a while and all that.
no subject
[Spock has indeed found himself fascinated by the Doctor.... ]
no subject
[Inwardly, he's smiling like a schoolboy again. He's always wanted to say that...]
But for now? I think perhaps it's time I went and did a bit more exploring. Lots to see 'round this little village. Well. Enough to be interesting, anyway.
no subject
Live long and prosper...
