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. ]

[ He doesn't believe for a moment Khan will leave them alone, instinct warring against the likelihood of disaster. ]

If you attempt to instigate an altercation, you will be neutralized.

[ Yeah, that's a full-on preemptive threat, no regrets. ]

I’ll bear that in mind. [Dismissively, he’s not fussed.] Kirk has also made his intentions towards me quite clear.

[And he’s forced to actually care about them given the circumstances.] I expect that you’ll be keeping your Captain in check.

[Because if Jim attempts to provoke him again, he’ll probably retaliate.]

[ If Jim provokes Khan then he'll have one pissed off Vulcan on his hands, never mind a psychotic Augment. Spock hopes he knows better by now. ]

The captain is more than capable of standing his ground without an honor guard. There is nothing to be gained from fighting here when little of value may be obtained as a result.

No, there is not. [The sneer he has is evident in his agreement. He does want to gain something from it because really it’s gone from Marcus holding the leash to Jim.]

Have you heard the recording of the creature’s taunting? [As much as he hates comparing notes with anyone, Spock is likely to be one of the few that could actually help him locate a weak spot.]

[ Stop being such a petulant ballbag, Khan. Oh, wait. ]

No. [ Cocking his head as he deliberates for a moment on prying further, no doubt exactly what the Augment wants. The fact remains that Khan is still one of the smartest men in recorded history or at least the Earth's he knows. ] You will share this information?

[ He'd much rather punch him in the face but, well. Logic. Maybe later. ]

[Provoking violent human augments isn’t what most would do. ~~But he would love a reason to just beat the tar out of someone right now.~~]

I’ve been analyzing it since it appeared. [And using it as his voicemail message for people he doesn’t want to talk to. A recording of the video is sent.]

[ ... Huh. Okay, fine, science trumps MORTAL NEMESIS right now because that's how adults roll. ]

Have the sadistic overtones since been echoed in any way? It would appear we are viewed as trespassers.

[Yes. Jim, take notes. Mortal nemesising will resume as normal once all is said and done.]

Most of us are, the Emperor and her palace staff included. [Even this incredible tool does his homework.]

Yes, some echoes still carry on to those with frail emotions. [Don’t ask how he knows that.]

[ 'Don't ask', fff. Naturally, Spock frowns and digs deeper. ]

How did you discover this? You are not telepathic.

[ Look here, Mr, dafuq did u do. ]

[One can almost hear the eyeroll in his voice.]

Obviously I had assistance. [Srsly, like he’s going to give any more detail than that. In fact, he’s going to dangle some shiny to distract from it.]

What do you know the substance known as 'Dust'?

[ He pretty much invented that tactic to use on Jim, but okay, Mr, let's do this. ]

It has not been mentioned.

[ Elaborate. ]

[There’s a pregnant pause over the audio, and then suddenly the feed is changed to video. Sitting in the chair, looking as condescendingly passive as ever, is Khan and in a gloved hand is a clear plastic bag that is completely sealed.]

It does not to be ingested or inhaled, merely touched. Those who do so become compliant, subservient, to suggestion; as well as dampen their spirits. I’m looking to compile more data, but many of the foreigners with whom you just spoke believe that the mood of the populace is in direct coordination with the reptile’s health.

[Holding up the bag to eye level, it’s easy to see the black powder that dimly glitters it catches the light. Much like the Starfleet symbol on his black long sleeve shirt.]

[ Delight of delights, he switches to video too. ]

From where, precisely, does this intoxicant originate and how did it come into your possession if it owns such volatile properties?
