Two passengers, one talkative, the other silent, await news that their transport has crossed
the Romulan Neutral Zone into Federation space. While the loquacious traveler prattles on,
the other, a quiet Vulcan, reflects on past events of his life: a brief visit with Captain
Harriman aboard the Enterprise after the death Captain Kirk, and further back in time to his
youth, when he struggled to understand his place in Vulcan society. We also learn that the
Vulcan went to Romulus to teach and is now on his way to Earth.

Spock's fellow passenger, a Saurian, simply can't remain silent. Spock is polite, but
inattentive, because every other question or comment from the Saurian provokes a poignant
memory of the past: an awkward moment with Dr. Christine Chapel, some time after she received
her medical degree, and a mission with Captain Pike, who ignores logic and risks his life to
save Spock. Finally, Spock tells the Saurian that he is traveling to Earth because he received
disturbing news. Picard sent a message to Romulus for Spock about the return and passing of
an old friend.

Spock's transport arrives at Deep Space Station E-5, the midpoint of his journey. Parting with
his loquacious Saurian friend triggers a vivid memory of a past arrival on Vulcan and a brief
visit with T'Pring, long after their koon-ut-kal-if-fee. Spock boards the ship which will take
him to his final destination, the third planet of the Veridian system. As the last leg of his
trip begins, another memory of Kirk and personal sacrifice surfaces. Finally, on Veridian III,
Spock visits the resting place of his friend, recalls the personal message from Captain Picard,
detailing the final moments of James Kirk, and takes a moment of silence.

After programming the navicomputer of his transport with a route to Earth that bypasses
Starfleet patrols and listening posts, Spock reflects on what it means to be a Vulcan.
Lt. Saavik is on the bridge of the Kobayashi Maru. She gives orders to dump the warp core
and seven crew members die, prompting a dressing down from a shipmate. Later on she confides
her bewilderment to Spock. He reminds her that not everything is a matter of logic. After
transporting to Earth's surface, the cargo he brought home, for the most illogical of reasons,
is transported beneath the surface, and Spock is surprised by a visit from a friend, before
returning to Romulus to resume his work.
Solicitation: Ambassador Spock has returned to Earth - but why?! The answers may lie in
another previously untold tale from Spock's life, starring Lt. Saavik, of Wrath of Khan
fame! The secret behind Spock's journey is revealed here!
