Greetings. I am Commander Spock of the USS Enterprise, a Starfleet contingent of the United Federation of Planets. I understand that we are temporally isolated as well as spatially displaced and that this is not a subdivision of any one possible multiverse, neither a pocket dimension of any one universe, but a unique quantum singularity linking many and each possible variation thereof. If others here have scientific findings of this nature, I pre-emptively extend my gratitude in the event of any information being divulged.

[ AKA pls share ur theories. He's not human, in case anyone with eyes and ears missed the blatant memo staring them in the face, the approximation of what would happen were a dollop of raw science ~~and a great jawline~~ to get mixed with an elf in a blender. Spock pauses thoughtfully, glancing away, and a single slender brow arches when he looks back; there are likely a great deal of customs to be observed from numerous new species and races, none of which he seeks to offend. ]

It has been brought to my attention that this is not my first foray into Keeliai. While I would request that you exert a measure of patience with my ... freshly acquired outlook, you will find me amenable to revisiting former acquaintances. [ Again he hesitates, though this time it comes across as more of an amendment. If you've been hanging out with his BFF, prepare to explain why, how and to what end. ] Similarly, I wish to meet with any and all allies of Captain James T. Kirk at their earliest convenience.

All remaining Starfleet personnel are to submit a fully comprehensive report effective immediately regarding their time here. Audio will suffice, given the circumstances.

[ And off goes the feed. ]

Pardon me, what did the captain say?

[ ... Lady, pls, with your fingers on your food and everything. Nngh. ]

Something about pointy ears and logic.

[ She waves her hand dismissively, her conclusion is obvious. Then takes a particularly large bit of her sandwich. ]

He said we should meet.

Why?

[ He has nothing to go on with such a broad assumption. ]

Because he thinks we will ultimately become fantastic friends.

[ Or she'll just drive him crazy, but. Details. Meh. ]

I can see it now. We're going to get along great.

[ She has so much confidence in that. It's pretty much a fact in her mind. Or at least she's going to enjoy their interactions. ]

I do not require another friend. [ Nor does he want one when he hasn't figured out what the first means to him. Frowning, Spock invites an explanation. ] What purpose do you serve?

[ Arching her eyebrows all the way up. Everyone needs more friends. But after a few moments she gives a shrug. ]

Okay, so you can be my friend, and I'll be your potential friend.

[ That's a pretty good compromise she thinks. ]

And if you want to learn my purposes, you're going to have to spend more time with me and figure it out yourself. The purpose one person serves to another really depends on the two people. It's not like I can just tell you what my purpose is.

[ He may not understand much about friends but he certainly doesn't accept that they are made by the broad statements of strangers, refusing to agree that she is correct or he is hers in any way. Vulcans cannot lie. ]

My purpose is to perform admirably as the science officer of my captain's vessel, and as a Starfleet official. If you are unable to provide a straight-forward distinction of your usefulness, I have no interest in pandering to your desire for my attention in unraveling what ought to be a simple answer.

I have my priorities. I cannot afford to waste time and resources in condoning illogical behavior.

Oh, you meant what's my job. That's easy. I'm an agent of Fringe Division, which you've probably never heard of. We're sort of like the FBI. We get called in when weird things happen. Mostly when weird things happen and people did as a result. Right now, I'm also helping run a bakery. Long story. But that's not my purpose.

[ People are more than just their jobs, Spock. :| ]

[ No, careers define a person. :| ]

It is your professional role and I am gratified to learn of it.

[ Mollified Vulcan, yes good. ]

[ She will make it her purpose to prove that wrong, oh you bet she will. :|

But really, he seems perfectly happy after figuring out what her job is. So confusing. Now she really wants to figure this out, because Spock has the Jim Kirk endorsement, and that earns him the privilege of not having eternal trolling. ]

Okay, I'll play.

[ She sets her sandwich down and shifts in her chair to get comfortable. That's how serious she's getting. ]

So what exactly counts as "illogical behavior."

Currently, yours.

[ She did ask and while he can't lie, he can sass whole councils if needs be. ]

I do not even know your name.

[ That? That she laughs at. It's a solid laugh with a grin that wrinkles her nose and everything. That earned major points in her book. ]

Okay, point. I'm Olivia Dunham. Can I just call you Spock or are you going to be picky about the "commander" part?

[ Laughter at the obvious. So weird. ]

You are not a member of Starfleet, therefore you are not required to adhere to subsequent privileges of rank. My name will suffice.

[ It was the sass, Spock. She's laughing the logic + sass combo. ]

Spock it is then. So explain to me exactly how my behavior is being illogical.

[ Leaning forward, hands clasped, and actually interested. Olivia wants to try and get along with him if possible and this seems like the best way. The best way to break the rules is after figuring them out. ]

It is precisely that your behavior is illogical that I am at a loss as to how to explain it. You are erratic in every way.

[ She considers that seriously for a moment before breaking into a grin. Oh she likes the sound of that. "Erratic in every way." She's going to have to boast about that later. ]

That sounds just like me. Well, at first, at least. Once you get to know me and I get to know you, things settle down a bit. You know. It takes time to get to know people! You can't just talk to someone and have them figured out in a matter of minutes.

Perhaps not with a human's inefficient manner of presentation.

[ Bro she aint even mad. ]

There is way too much of me to present in this amount of time, even if I was going through a slideshow. I am even willing to bet that there is way too much of you to go through in this amount of time, no matter how efficient you are.

[ Why yes her ego is actually that large. ]

Nothing that is immediately pertinent to share.

[ Far be it from Spock to play up to expectations outside of academia. ]

No, I don't need you to share it now. It was more that theoretically if we were to go through that exercise, it would take way longer than you think it would.

I can provide an estimate, if you wish.

[ Is he being a shit? Maybe. ]

[ Skeptical eyebrow raise. ]

Yeah? Let's hear it then.

[ She likes people who can sass, okay. ]

Four point three hours.

Well, sometime when you're less busy we should sit down and time that.
