"I need not go into further detail, as you have clearly made my point for me."

"Doctor, your very desire to be a consistent curmudgeon, paired with your lack of bedside manner, would quickly bar you from such a transformative process."

"I admit that I have not yet spoken to him. The fact that he is cheerful is most unusual. However, Sybok is more in tune with his human side than I am. When next you see him, can you have my brother meet me?"

"I would rather you left that part out, as it is neither my business, nor does your way of saying it evoke a positive image within my mind. Dare I even ask what my brother is up to in addition to being close to you."

"While I am sure your new professional dealings are lucrative and worthwhile, one would hope that they do include manipulating things for your own ends that would negatively affect other individuals."

"It is most disconcerting that you are once again in my presence. Your previous actions dictate that I have the full authority to have you arrested, detained, and sentenced for your crimes for a duration deemed suitable by the Starfleet court system."

"It is good then that you are here. I trust your judgement and actions, should you need to do so."

"That is essentially what I am able to provide, some weapons and medical supplies, with the assistance of Doctor McCoy and Constable Odo."

"We must be ready and vigilant for anything to occur, good or bad. But I fear we have seen only a sliver of evil come into this universe."

"It is my hope as well that you and your allies succeed. You are greatly determined to do so. Is there anything that I can obtain for you to help your cause?"

+ have a place here so long as it stands, and if and when I meet my Saavik, I shall make every effort to help her."

"No, I believe the duration of time was necessary, for both of you. It would have been foolish to enter battle while not fully ready to do so, given her injuries and the necessity of your company to assist in healing. What I will promise you are two things. You and your companion shall always +

+ very least keep each other safe. Given the seemingly random nature of displaced individuals, it is possible that a great event will occur that will test all of us. Not all who we encounter will be friendly or alter their motives. They will seek to destroy peace as we know it."

"Indeed, the recent temporal anomalies are quite unusual, nothing of this magnitude has been recorded before. Even I am displaced, having gone from my timeline into the Kelvin timeline, and now this one. I would think it wise to work together to try and ascertain the cause of all of it, or at the+

+ What will you do, Saavik? You have an opportunity to live a new and prosperous life here, however, instinct tells me that you will return and..."fight the good fight", to use a human expression."

+ your Vulcan kind faced, and continue to face. It unfortunately reminds me of Earth's past when slavery was common in Europe and the Americas, to say nothing of other forms in other parts of its long history. It is astonishing that you are alive, given the circumstances from which you came. +

*Spock had sat with Saavik, taking in everything that she said, a lot of it mentioning consistent harm to her Vulcan counterparts, no matter who was in their presence.*

"I am unable to quantify the feelings and emotions that you are currently expressing in regards to all of the atrocities that +

"Our brother... He is here? Do they have him imprisoned?"

"Time will tell, as it is said. Perhaps attempting to simplify the variables will lead to a more desirable outcome. That merely pertains to what I am able to control. You know as well as I the complexities that life places at our feet."

"For that I am glad. For myself, I find the shifting of my presence from universe to universe to be somewhat unsettling. It does not allow for stability, rather only uncertainty. However, it did bring me you, and that is oddly comforting."

+ interruption.*

"I gather that given your current mood, you are happy overall in your time on the Discovery?"

"Of course, my apologies Michael. I am obviously not as...in touch with my feelings. However, I am very grateful and happy to see you, and to spend time with you, however long the duration may be."

*Spock sat down with Burnham at a table where they'd be able to talk without noise or +

"I believe even if the future didn't require your help, your contributions would have still made a difference in the world."

"I do not believe I stated anything intentionally humorous, did I?"

*Spock raised an eyebrow, still not realizing that his logical assessment of many things was seen as funny to those closest to him.*

"Not everyone understands or even realizes the importance and impact of the other mammalian species that reside on their planet. Obviously other flora and fauna are equally important. Your act saved an Earth that was not your own, which had a far reaching impact into its future."

"The quest for perfection is in itself illogical. It is akin to seeking out the endpoint of infinity, which is currently impossible. Your description of the doctor is correct, as well as a trait shared by the captain and yourself."

+ order two servings of the soup at your leisure. I will find a suitable location for our meal."

"That is logical considering you are able to return to any point in history that you desire. Therefore the closeness in my age from our last encounter, is accurate. Given the current stability of my existence on the Enterprise, having excess facial hair seemed illogical and unnecessary. You may +

"I am sorry to hear that. While the Vulcan in my universe is well, my Prime counterpart lost his planet, it was destroyed by a criminal named Nero. Our home in this universe still exists as well. If you prefer not to discuss it, I understand."
