Star Trek Page #2

And yet you married a Human.

As ambassador to Earth it is my duty to

observe

and understand Human behavior.

Marrying your mother was ... logical.

Spock.

You are fully capable of deciding

your own destiny.

The question you face is:

Which path will you choose?

This is something only you can decide.

Spock. Come here, let me see you.

- No.

- Spock.

There's no need to be anxious.

You'll do fine.

I am hardly anxious, mother.

And fine has variable definitions,

fine is unacceptable.

- OK.

- May I ask a personal query?

- Anything.

Should I choose to complete the Vulcan

discipline of Kolinahr.

and purge all emotion?

I trust you will not feel it reflects

judgment upon you.

Oh Spock.

As always, whatever you choose to be,

you will have a proud mother.

You have surpassed the expectations of

your instructors.

Your final record is flawless.

With one exception.

I see that you have applied to

Starfleet as well.

It was logical to cultivate more options.

Logical, but unnecessary. You are hereby

accepted to the Vulcan Science Academy.

It is truly remarkable Spock that you have

achieved so much

despite your disadvantage.

All rise.

Council, ministers, I must decline.

No Vulcan has ever declined

admission to this Academy.

But as I am half-human, your

record remains untarnished.

Why did you come before this

council today?

Was it to satisfy your emotional need

to rebel?

The only emotion I wish to convey

is gratitude.

Thank you, ministers,

for your consideration.

Live long and prosper.

- Hi.

- Hey there.

Hi. I'd like a Clabmin fire tea ...

- Try the Slusho, it's good.

- A Slusho mix, thank you.

That's a lot of drinks for a woman.

- And a shot of Jack, straight up.

- Make that two. Her shot's on me.

Her shot's on her.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Don't you at least wanna know my name

before you completely reject me?

I'm fine without it.

You are fine without it. It's Jim, Jim Kirk.

If you don't tell me your name,

I'm gonna have to make one up.

- It's Uhura.

- Uhura? No way.

That's the name I was gonna make

up for you.

- Uhura what?

- Just Uhura.

- They don't have last names in your world?

- Uhura is my last name.

Well then you have ... your first name's Human?

- Excuse me buddy. - So, you're a cadet,

your studying. What's your focus?

Xenolinguistics.

You have no idea what that means.

The study of alien languages.

Morphology, phonology, syntax.

Means you've got a talented tongue.

I'm impressed.

For a moment there, I thought you were just
