You've reached me. Oh, that is... you've reached Yashiki. I'm afraid that I'm not here. Um, obviously. Really, what's the right way to leave a message like this? Isn't it okay to let it keep ringi--

I will take such a statement as a positive.

[ Because it is open-ended enough for him to draw his own conclusion using logic... and perhaps merely his own wishes as well. Not that he'd admit to such a thing. ]

I was, however, born a member of the Federation. My planet and its people were founding members of the alliance, one which has been in place since the mid-23rd century.

What I believe you intended to ask is why I joined Starfleet, the Federation's exploratory and military branch. I can say that it was not to aid other species, though it would be preferable to be able to claim so.

[reimaginedself]

Please do.

[ Ah. It is something like that, huh? ]

It wasn't to aid other species? Is it all right to ask why it is that you joined them?

[tsansat]

[ It's not a question he wants to answer. Nevertheless, he makes an effort to do so. ]

No Vulcan had previously joined. I wished to test myself for my own reasons.

[reimaginedself]

[ Test himself, huh. Yashiki is curious about that, but maybe he should start with another question first... ]

No Vulcan had? Why?

[tsansat]

Because of the behaviors of other species, particularly humans.

[ Which isn't... something he wishes to have to say either, but there's no lie in it. ]

Many Vulcans find humans to be unnecessarily violent and regressive. Therefore to be part of any sort of military organization with them is challenging.

[reimaginedself]

[ Oh. ]

That's understandable.

But I'm sure a person like Kirk has put a lot of their concerns aside, right?

[tsansat]

[ Finally, a topic he loves likes. ]

The captain commands a certain amount of warranted respect, yes. However, he is one man. His influence is great but it is easy for my people to consider him an exception and not a rule.

Vulcans have allied with humans but to trust them without misgivings is, to them, illogical.

[reimaginedself]

I guess that makes sense.

But I feel the more humans that interact with him, the more they will change for the better, too. Then, he won't be the exception but the rule that others will follow.

Though, saying that, I fear that puts a lot of expectations on him. However, I don't mean it like he has to do it, but it is something that seems like it will happen naturally.
