Too bad you never got to meet her.

[scienceping]

It may have been better that we did not.

[he's not saying something here ...]

[senior_citizen]

[ tilting his head ]

Why?

[scienceping]

Due to our respective organizations.

[senior_citizen]

That's all?

[scienceping]

... While he was not representing the Romulan Star Empire at the time, it was a Romulan named Nero that created the singularity in my home planet.

[senior_citizen]

[ oh. ohhhhh. ]

So you're not gonna be friendly with any Romulans for a while.

[scienceping]

On the contrary. I am a Vulcan.

[senior_citizen]

I don't understand.

[scienceping]

Vulcans control their emotions in the pursuit of logic.

[senior_citizen]

So you'd be perfectly fine talking to her?

[scienceping]

Affirmative.

[senior_citizen]

[ something is missing still ]

Huh. You're a better man than me.

[scienceping]

I am a Vulcan.

[senior_citizen]

Better Vulcan then?

[scienceping]

I meant more that I am not Human.

[senior_citizen]

Better person.

[scienceping]

Affirmative.

[senior_citizen]

Well that's not hard.

[ lightly ]

[scienceping]

... While I do not recall a great majority of my time within Sabra La Tau, I do remember the ... hardships we endured.

[senior_citizen]

[ small nod ]

What survivors have to do?

[scienceping]

No matter the severity or the morality involved.

[senior_citizen]

[ he gets very, very quiet at that. ]

[scienceping]

Such was the nature of Sabra La Tau.

[senior_citizen]

You still have a choice. Even if they're all terrible.
