You already 'play' one Vulcan. I see no purpose in, as you put it, 'collecting' another.

My place is in Starfleet, you have acknowledged that. It would be logical to allow me to continue my work on Enterprise. I'm certain you'll find other amusements.

Or need I remind you that my work is primarily in the science division, and that physics has a tendency to give you a headache?

[You can practically see the !!! showing up over his head.] We have no drive to explore theirs. Surely they must see the point in that.

[vulcans_never_bluff]

It still remains a mystery to me, though not one I have been focused on unraveling.

[original_fine]

I've yet to hear you complain, Mr. Spock.

[vulcans_never_bluff]

[His turn for !!!]

I have referred to my dissatisfaction with my mundane's habits frequently.

[Vulcan evasion is go.]

[original_fine]

You can complain about their habits all you want, Spock. But in the moment? Doesn't seem so very difficult to obtain your full attention and cooperation.

[vulcans_never_bluff]

They are skilled at executing the right moment.

[He's not going to say they "find" it. They know precisely what they're doing.]

[original_fine]

Uh-huh. Well, they deserve some credit, then, at least. Surely humans who can so deftly uncover Vulcan secrets can't be all idiots.

[vulcans_never_bluff]

I have encountered enough humans with sufficient intelligence to know that they are generally capable of possessing it. Even if they are emotional, irrational, and unstable.

They are also, however.... difficult.

[original_fine]

I don't think I need to remind you that you chose a career which placed you, in the main, amongst humans and their difficulties.

But clearly, I will.

[vulcans_never_bluff]

I chose a career which place me on the flagship of an interstellar exploration fleet. It did make my previous observation possible. I have noticed up to three hundred forty-five point seven crew members acting with proficiency during restrictive and dangerous situations.

[0.7 is Bones.]

[original_fine]

Point seven. I always find it amazing, that you can pinpoint human frailty to such a degree.

[vulcans_never_bluff]

Precise measurement should not be influenced by emotion.

[And just as likely; he doesn't like to see his crewmates under stress and it's his way of taking notice.]

[original_fine]

That's just it--I find it interesting that you believe human emotional states can be measured objectively.

[vulcans_never_bluff]

Objective measurements prone to frequent fluctuations. It is an exercise in mental calculation and reevaluation.

[original_fine]

Exhausting, Mr. Spock. I'll rely on good old-fashioned intuition.

[vulcans_never_bluff]

One day you will have to explain the function of your "intuition" in greater detail.

[wouldciteregulation]

I, too, would be interested in such an explanation.

feel free to ingore, I know it's been ages. <3

[original_fine]

Surely you have statistics on my success rate when relying on said quality, Mr. Spock. The numbers should speak for themselves.

Also, sorry Ari >.>

[vulcans_never_bluff]

All the more reason an explanation would be necessary, or at least a study into the matter as observable unusual phenomena.

[original_fine]

I think explaining it would be very difficult, which is more or less the whole point.

You're welcome to observe whatever you like, however, Mr. Spock.
