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. ]

[ She blinks and looks almost startled for a few moments before she catches herself and smooths it back away. That... hurt, if she's being honest with herself. It wasn't her fault and it wasn't her choice for that to have happened. In fact, she would rather that she simply kept the Archive to herself forever, even knowing she would lose the closeness she now has with Jim. For a second the Archive thinks she might not be able to hold in the sudden wave of sadness, but manages to do so with only a momentary twitch downward at the corner of her mouth. When she speaks her voice is as calm as before, but it definitely takes her longer than usual to do so. ]

It was not my intention nor my wish for that to happen. Another resident here has a magical accident which caused a variety of effects, one of them being abilities transferring from one individual to another. I would not have willingly given him the Archive to carry for any point in time. You have my word on that.

[ He knows those tics, the look of someone vying inwardly for control. ]

If this is true, will you assist me in determining a method that will heal him? His mind is human and as such has been put under immense strain.

[ She knows. She saw him the day it happened, struggling to keep it all straight in his head. And she remembers it too, now that she has his memories. She knows exactly how he fought to keep himself float above The Archive, struggled against what was so counter to himself. And even though she knows it's a silly thought and without reason, she's suddenly afraid that The Archive will take Jim away from her the way it did her mother; that there was some sort of lasting damage done to him that is slowly eroding his mind. It makes her want to turn around and run to find Jim and make sure he's alright. Because she knows Soock through Jim and she knows he doesn't lie and she believes him, without question. After a pause she takes a breath, slightly shaky, but seems otherwise still calm. ]

I will do what I can, if he desires it. I will not act against his wishes. But you have my promise.

Your word will suffice. [ A short nod to agree, and he tilts his head. ] In this vein, do you know of any telepathic techniques that present an alternative to my own? I believe I can quiet the raw wounds in his mind, but the captain is not amenable to hosting a telepathic link until such a time as he has been healed.

[ Jim's impatient, basically. ]

[ That's shaky ground. Of course she knows how to do that. Wizards are researchers, they write things down, and she knows what they've written. But she has to follow the Laws, and that sort of magic usually has one outcome: a beheading. ]

In theory. I know such magic and have the skill to perform it, however I can only do so in very specific circumstances. The third of the Seven Laws of Magic forbids the invasion of another's mind. I would require both his agreement and his complete understanding of what I would do before undertaking any acts of psychomancy.

[ And even that would be pushing it. The only safe choice when it came to psychomancy was to simply leave it be. ]

I would not ask you to break the laws which govern your existence. If any techniques are to be applied, I will personally undertake the role responsible.

[ That, and he's already dead set against letting anyone else near Jim's mind. ]

I request information if you happen to come across methodology you believe would prove beneficial to his current condition, that is all.

[ She nods. Honestly, she prefers not to do that sort of magic even if she could exploit technicalities to make it legal. There's a solid reason as to why it's illegal, messing with someone's head also messes with your head, and she isn't sure how she would deal with the side effects of it. ]

You are from a period more advanced than mine, but should you desire, I have all written methods of psychology poor to approximately 2013. Papers, experiment data, books; anything written I can recall at will with complete comprehension. I doubt I will find new information here, but I will be aware of it.

I will apply to your ample experience should the need arise.

[ Until then, he'll wing the human psychology. Jim wouldn't appreciate Spock having to read up on his brain, he's certain. ]

Contrarily, is there any way in which I can be of assistance to you?

I am also able to transcribe any information you may desire. It would take only as long as it takes me to write.

[ It's not like she has to think about the information, she's perfected simply filtering straight through the knowledge in her mind to the things which are useful. ]

And no, I do not need any assistance. As I do not need to travel by car, I am able to completely function on my own. Thank you for asking.

[ No need for a chauffeur here, and there are few people powerful enough to not slow her down should danger arise. ]

You are welcome.

[ The sentiment is thin and the words are simply pieces of a puzzle. Spock feels more than satisfied with what he's seen of her. ]

I believe this concludes our business for the time being. I will remain in contact.

Very well. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you.

[ She's more than happy to end this conversation. It was hardly the one she was looking forward to when they first agreed to meet. ]
