Storyline
Announcement
Surak’s announcement has stunned the Vulcan people. Reluctant to challenge the man responsible for the very foundations of their society, they have chosen to approach Surak’s “re-education” with cautious optimism. First, Surak intends to show the Vulcan people that while every emotion has its place, suppressing all emotion only leads to disaster both personal and public later down the road. As he suspects the Vulcans themselves might self-sabotage this effort, he is relying on the vast resources of the Federation to help him see it through. [1]
Prologue
- Vulcan Wedding T'Pol: "Captain, it is an auspicious day for the Vulcan people. The father of all we hold true, Surak, has returned. But he has expressed concern regarding how we interpreted his teachings of logic over emotion."
- Vulcan Wedding T'Pol: "He intends to use an extreme form of 'shock therapy' to override the way we have trained ourselves to suppress our emotions, by exposing us to painful memories, both personal and historical. And he wishes to enlist the aid of the Federation to ensure it goes as planned."
- Vulcan Wedding T'Pol: "Many Vulcans are tentative, but optimistic. He is Surak, after all, and the father of many of our guiding principles. Yet I cannot help but feel uneasy about all of this. Having suppressed our emotions for so long, I do not feel most of us are ready for what lies ahead."
Intermezzo
- Lieutenant Valeris: "Captain... please... you must stop this. It is cruel, what Surak is doing, I do not care if it truly is him. This is not the way. We cannot handle this overexposure to the realm of the emotional..."
- Lieutenant Valeris: "I have reached out to three factions for aid: the Bajorans, the Klingons, and the Romulans. Please help us, it does not matter who you find more apt to provide effective aid, as long as you can help us."
- Choice A
- Captain: "There are those who seek aid or solace from a higher power in desperate times."
- Lieutenant Valeris: "Indeed. I suppose then that you might find the Bajorans to be most suited to this task. They have long looked to their Prophets to guide them through difficult times and seem comparatively comfortable with their own emotions. Too much so, some Vulcans might say."
- Choice B
- Captain: "I wouldn't rule out the expression of emotion through productive aggression."
- Lieutenant Valeris: "Yes, the Klingons' love of battle extends long past the blood-soaked battlefields of war. They are an honorable people, and I've heard they are quite competitive in the realm of sport as well. Perhaps the heart of such warriors could aid our cause."
- Choice C
- Captain: "The Romulans have a great deal of experience with mind probe technology."
- Lieutenant Valeris: "I know there are many Vulcans who wouldn't approve, but you are correct, Captain. The Tal Shiar, in particular, have long used mind probes for interrogation. If anyone can assist us, they can."
- Lieutenant Valeris: "Ultimately, I support your decision. All that matters is putting a stop to Surak's interventions. I am not sure how much more of this my people can handle..."
Epilogue
- Surak: "I couldn't be more pleased that the Romulans have shown such keen interest in my efforts to reeducate the Vulcan people. Reunification will go much easier if one side is willing to take the first step."
- Surak: "But I fear the only thing their involvement has done is ignite the Vulcan peoples' wrath against them..."
- Warship Tuvok: "For millenia, we have been guided by logic and using logic as a guiding principle has brought us prosperity. Flooding us with emotion after we have strived to follow your teachings all of these years is cruel. It weakens us!"
- Warship Tuvok: "And that is exactly what the Romulans have been waiting for! We cannot let our guard down. Reunification is not possible, it never was. And if battle is the only way to put an end to this, then so be it!"
