--ooOoo--
1. Hello, Son. How are you doing? I know I said that I'd
call you at the end of the week, but your father surprised me with a little
vacation to an out-of-the-way place. We leave tomorrow. You know,
he resigned from the diplomatic services, which means that I don't have access
to all that fancy subspace equipment he used to keep in his study. So
this message will have to go the slow route, like the Pony Express of the
Ancient West. I don't know why Sarek up and quit. He just came home
in the middle of the day last month and announced it. There was no
incident that I know of, no trouble with any of his missions. I know he
had some projects ongoing, but he has handed everything over to his
staff. I don't even know if a replacement has been named yet. Oh,
it's not like I mind him being home now. It just seems so abrupt. He
assures me that there is no reason to worry – but that doesn't stop me.
Well, I will close for now. Please let me know if there is anything you
need. I love you very much, Spock.
2. I am using the hotel's comm. for this call, so I can't be long. This
planet is so beautiful! The whole place reminds me of
3. Spock, this is not like you. I have sent two messages and you haven't
even let me know that you received them. Is something wrong? Are
you so very busy that you can't ease your old mother's worries? Or are
you sick? Injured? Starfleet would contact us if there was
something seriously wrong, right? Please let me know that you are okay.
4. Now I am very worried. When I spoke to your communications officer,
she told me that you are taking some personal time and are not accepting
calls. Even from me, Spock? What's wrong, Baby? Your father
and I will be home soon. I hope to find an explanation waiting for us
when we get there.
5. Why that little bitch! I told your father not to marry you off to that
girl! How dare she do that to you, to your friend! Sarek had to
drag me back into the house after he told me because I was ready to march over
to T'Pring and slap her impertinent little face from
here to T'Kuht! Are you all right now? I
can't imagine what you went through, what you are continuing to go
through. Is your… situation under control? Do you need us to make
any arrangements for you here? I can't imagine that you would want us to
find you another bride. Ooh! That woman has made me so angry!
I just want to crawl through subspace and hold you, to make everything better
for you. I know – the height of illogic. Just know that your mother
loves you very much, logic be damned, and Vulcan tradition be doubly damned!
I would do anything for you, Baby. You know that. Tell me what you
need, and I'll try t make it happen for you. Take care. I hope to
see you soon. I'm sure you don't want to step foot on Vulcan for a while
after what happened. I'm just sorry that we were not at home or near any
subspace comm. system when you needed us most. Take care, my darling
boy. Mama loves you.
