[ The vouchers on offer have been put to good use. Witness one Vulcan wrapped up in a couple of high-neck, long-sleeved sweaters where he sits in front of the screen. There's no way of regulating the temperature as accurately as he could on the Enterprise, so the curtains are also drawn to stave off the encroaching cold and, in the comfort of his own abode, he's donned a thick cardigan that looks like a customized blanket. ~~Winter, nngh.~~ So while Spock looks a lot fluffier, his tone is just as businesslike as usual. ]

Many of the foreign recipes I am familiar with have little bearing on the available ingredients in the market and as such may not be employed here. I would be grateful for suggestions on supplemental dishes and am willing to provide recompense for any assistance provided. On a different note, if there are any individuals with an inclination toward telepathy, I am curious as to whether any of them know where it would be most opportune to try and establish a meld with the turtle. That said, they would be welcome to participate in a psychic foray being made. I was told that this has never been attempted by a great number of minds and find the unexplored concept fascinating.

I am familiar with the weight of a great many consciousnesses and amenable to hosting temporary mental immersion with others.

[ In other words, Spock is happy to be the Red Ranger in a group setting where other minds might need to rely on him for direction or support. He goes on, lifting a hand-written stack of notes off his lap. ]

Ellie, I have compiled more information concerning space and attached a short questionnaire to serve as your homework. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to collect your personalized astronomy file.

Are you both fucking idiots? Am I the only guy who checks old feeds when he turns up? Xavier already tried to mind link with it and wound up with a three week migraine or some bullshit.

[GLARING.]

What did he try, specifically?

[GLARING RIGHT BACK.]

Yeah, cause I know all the telepathic procedures. He tried to communicate with it. Go ask him.

Helpful as always.

[And with that, she cuts the feed. She wants the last word on this one.]

You are not. I am familiar with the documentation and have taken it into consideration, as I am doing with new information currently being offered up. What I intend would host a different approach.

Pardon me, but I do not believe we have met.

You're hosting it with my friend here. Pardon me if I don't want anything screwing with her head.

The name's Richter.

You are pardoned. As it is her head, however, I do not see the need to apply to anyone but her when it comes to the application thereof. I am Spock, and I assure you that I will be taking every precaution before advancing on my intentions.

[Did you really just take his sarcastic use of the phrase 'pardon me' and pardon him? Unbelievable.]

Then you're an idiot. Her head's got enough shit that's due to it when she gets home - speaking of that, M. Go to the damn clinic and get a work up. I know you're watching this - so yeah, you do have to take what other people say into account here.

And stop making everything sound as convoluted as possible. Look, I can use fancy words too.

I am not using "fancy words". [ Frowing a little, because what. ] I am Vulcan and embrace technicalities. I was told my use of the Terran language is more than acceptable. However, if you feel my vernacular to be offensive, I will endeavor to employ fewer syllables.

You em- you know what, I don't care. I'm going to let this go as lost in alien translation. I know how that goes. [You are so lucky he's dating an alien.] But keep in mind - "more than acceptable" can be good or bad.

And don't let Monet link with the turtle.

I fail to understand how. As for Miss St. Croix, I do not intend to endanger her life.

Did the person who told your English was more than acceptable spend any time on sarcasm in the English language?

You're not listening to what I'm saying. Just leave her out of it for now.

I am currently studying sarcasm. [ No, really, that's a thing he's doing in his spare time. Almost got it nailed! ]

If you wish for her to desist in the participation of any cause, you would do better to take your case to the lady in question and not to assume that I hold any authority over her free will.

Really? Keep up the good work. [See how helpful he is, providing practical examples.]

Oh believe me, I will.

[It's then that Monet comes out of nowhere, storming into the cafe she hears Rictor in, grabs his arms, and drags him off towards the door, ignoring his protests. The video feed is left on, until a nearby kedan comes and turns it off.]
