Personal Log #7

[Video]

Greetings and salutations. I believe that it is customary for one to welcome those who are newly arrived into Luceti.

Welcome.

To those who have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I can be found regularly at the Battle Dome for those who want to learn to utilize the simulations.

A reminder to everyone that the Kobayashi Maru simulation has been tested and is ready for public use. I will express my thanks to Mister Obi-Wan Kenobi, Miss Ami Mizuno, and Miss Lirael for testing the program for me.

I also find myself requiring assistance for a project that I have agreed to.... though I find myself now at an impasse. I am currently working on a small scale version of projected diburnium-osmium shield technology... with some minor alterations. If anyone is familiar with this or is willing to help, please inform me.

Peace and long life.

[Spock found himself once again frustrated by the recent memory lapse... for one who highly values mental discipline, it is... unnerving to find that your mind has been tampered with. However, Spock has long ago come to terms with this place and its disregard for dignity.

In the morning Spock can be found at the Dome by the computer terminals...but in the late afternoon strange, hauntingly beautiful music can be heard coming from House #2's backyard.
The Vulcan was pleased to have completed his Lyre, and was now enjoying an afternoon of practice.

In the evening, Spock actually ventures out to Seventh Heaven and can be found at a solitary table with a cup of tea.

Come and bother Spock at any and all of these locations.]



[For reference of what a Vulcan Lyre sounds like, please go here: Vulcan Lyre

Comments

[misterbrief]

And in what manner would I do so? I hope you're not suggesting something like a crossword puzzle or that other silly number game...Sudoku I believe it's called. Ridiculous.

[spohkh]

Negative, that would be illogical as you obviously to not have the patience for such games.

What I suggest is indefinitely more productive.


Meditation Prince Vegeta... what is your opinion of it?

[misterbrief]

Meditation is very important to a warrior during his training. To prepare one's mind for the battle ahead is just as important as having the strength to crush your opponent. So honestly I think it's quite necessary to meditate. Now tell me why you would ask me about something like that?

[spohkh]

I meditate on a regular basis to keep and maintain mental strength. I am offering you to join me if you are amenable.

It is obvious that you are strong... Perhaps now it would be wise to learn when not use your muscles.

[misterbrief]

Thanks but no thanks. Don't assume just because I posses a large amount of power that my brain is one of my lesser used muscles. [He's just very unfamiliar with the Battle Dome controls!]

[spohkh]

[Spock regards him for a long moment...

...Considering Vegeta's lack of manners? Spock isn't convinced.]

Very well. However, since you far surpass any strength testing simulation we have here, I am of no help to you.
That is unless of course you are willing to subject yourself to medication that would decrease your physical strength, therefore causing the simulations to be more difficult for you.

[misterbrief]

Ugh. I'd rather have a training partner than subject myself to that. [Spock might not know it, but him wanting to train with someone else other than his son is saying something. And it sucks because he might need a partner here.] Again, thanks for the offer but I think I'll sit that one out.

[He's ready to leave, so he'll power down now- no need to stay in that form anymore.] Perhaps I'll have to start designing my own simulations then, since no one around here can do it.

[spohkh]

Prince Vegeta... [It was as much of a reproach that the Vulcan will ever give.]

Your capacity to assume is astounding.

I am quite familiar with simulation programming, however, your attitude thus far has been less than satisfactory.


However, just as you have pointed out, there is no way to increase the strength of the simulations...

[misterbrief]

Well, then maybe it needs to be figured out how to increase it. [He's completely been talking out of his ass on the subject.] You're a scientist. Doesn't the challenge interest you? Or is it too hard for your Vulcan brain?

[spohkh]

[Spock walked up to Vegeta... ever the superior Vulcan, and not at all intimidated.]


Perhaps it has escaped you that you are in a prison, 'prince' Vegeta. Do you not believe, that as an avid scientist, that I would not have exhausted every possibility to try to escape or improve our situation via computers?
I am here everyday attempting to do just that... However, the Malnosso are quite thoroughly involved in the system and have proven to be very manipulative.

They are also very creative in their punishments to those who get too close. [And yes, Spock is speaking from experience.]

Perhaps you would care to listen to the algorithms and processes that are involved in order to 'hack' and change the system? It is quite complex... but you will have to pay attention, because certain details may escape you.

[Yes, Spock was pissed in his own Vulcan way.

Did he just insult you? That's for you to decide.]

[misterbrief]

Looks like I ruffled someone's feathers a little. [He smirks back, satisfied with the response he'd just received.]

So you think I'm too stupid to understand any of your scientific jargon, huh? I assure you that though I may lack sufficient knowledge now on the matter, I can learn- and all I need is the right materials. Then maybe I'll be showing you how to program simulations and protecting yourself from whatever those Malnosso fools try to pull.

[spohkh]

[Spock regarded Vegeta for a long moment...]

I am impressed by your desire to learn Prince Vegeta... I will teach you.

[Spock gestures once more to the terminals.]

Please, take a seat.

[misterbrief]

You're going to teach me? Alright then.

[Vegeta walks over to the terminal, finding himself a chair. He makes sure to drag it across the floor, screeching and scratching until he sits down in a huff, arms folding and legs crossing. Challenge accepted Spock, challenge accepted.]

[spohkh]

[Spock turns to Vegeta.....]

However.... I will ask that through this tutorial, that your attitude be kept in check... otherwise I will be disinclined to work with you....


...agreed?

[misterbrief]

[Vegeta raises his own eyebrow back, and scowls- but he'll play fair. After all, he's got something to prove now, and no one tells the Saiyan Prince he isn't capable of doing something.]

Agreed. Shall we begin?

[spohkh]

[Spock gives one more assessing look at Vegeta....

Then nods.] Very well....


[The Vulcan turns to the screen, and begins to teach...]




[ooc: May we fade here m'dear? That was amazing! I love Vegeta!XD]
