cimorenek'sal tried and failed to send me a postcard, but she sent me an email instead.
here's the link to her "in check." ::re-reads some more:: have i mentioned how much she rocks?
"Let's see where I am. First, I am assuming that your demand to meld with me is based on logic, instinctive or conscious. Second, past observations suggest that you are being as truthful as you perceive possible about your reasons. In this conversation you've made several emphatic assertions."
"A: It is not at all dangerous to you for you and I meld, nor is it dangerous to me, and if M'Benga thinks differently he is wrong, My own instinctive reaction to that is that you are correct."
"B: Under certain circumstances, our 'mental familiarity' is positively helpful to you; my ability to bring you out of the link with Nomad is an example of that. That seems to be objective fact."
"C: It is dangerous for me to meld with other Vulcans. This I find fascinating. How could C be true if A is true? C seems to be a more general case of A. You say no; that C is equivalent to mental contact with the Melkotians - 'an unknown quantity with the undoubted capacity to damage me, whether intentional or not'. That's even more fascinating."
"D: You tell me that accepting your logic is rational. Now, we've already established that there is a flaw in your logic *as stated*, but actually this statement of yours agrees with my observations - that your logic and control are fundamentally extremely strong. So statement D supports my second assumption - that you are being as truthful as you believe consistent with doing no harm. Therefore, as a working theory I am going to accept the idea that you are being truthful and accurate when you tell me that we must meld. For the time being I'll also accept your contention that your responsibilities as First Officer require this."
::shiver:: logical!kirk! could he BE any sexier?
