Commander, I regret that I must bear the burden of delivering you this message, but I felt that our previous encounters made me the best candidate to contact you.

I will be blunt. The Vulcan High Council considers your ownership of this… Vi’dar to represent an imminent danger to the safety of New Vulcan.

We do not intend to cause any harm to the Vulcan people, Spock. The Vi’dar is our greatest weapon against the Borg threat.

I must tell you, though, that something does not seem right. I was continuously running scans of the system during our meeting and I was unable to pick up the extremists signal.

Their ship was hardly a technological marvel. It did not have the capability to hide itself from our scans. Someone may have assisted them.

I am afraid that will not be possible. This man is a citizen of Vulcan and thus is subject to Vulcan justice. We cannot allow an Independent to take custody of him.

Vulcan law is very clear on this matter, Commander. As a Starfleet officer, I am bound to upholding the law of sovereign societies. I will not be able to assist you in this matter.

No explanation is required, Spock. All that the Commander needs to do is relinquish their control over the weapon.

To you, it may very well represent hope against the Borg threat. To our people, however, it represents the greatest threat to our existence that we have ever known.

You were not present when Nero destroyed Vulcan, Commander. On that day, our once proud civilization became nothing more than an echo in the void.

So you say, but as long as that child of the Narada exists, we will always be in danger. So we reach an impasse. You will not relinquish the ship and we cannot allow you to keep it.

Do not worry, Commander. The members of the High Council are the wisest of us. Once we explain your circumstances, they will agree that you are no danger to us. Logic will prevail.
