[ Spock listens with a mostly impassive expression. It’s a curious tale, to be sure, but quite far from beyond the realm of credulity, and certainly not the strangest thing of which Spock has been told. Unknown energy signatures could, potentially, cause any multitude of reactions within a carbon-based life form. In answer to the explanation, the Vulcan gives only a nod. ]

I see.

[As the immortal finished his tale, he can’t help the fact his mouth hangs slightly ajar at the reaction he obtains. Thousands of years, he had been telling that story and the reaction was almost always the same; he’d be called a liar or he would be killed. And strange as it seems, Spock just… stood there.]

… You’re not gonna lung at me and try to slit my throat?
