Summary
"It is our happiness to join and be joined with," the Seskille Collective says to the crew, the commander, and the captain through the ship’s audio feed, sounding delighted by the prospect of friendship.
"It is our happiness to learn and be learned from," the Seskille Collective says after the unsettling discovery that Seskilles VII is a dead, frozen planet with no plants, no animals, and no life readings but for the landing party sent down to meet them.
"It is our happiness to know and be known by," the Seskille Collective says as they reach out with welcoming voices and devastating minds, indifferent to the consequences of unraveling a lifetime of rigid control and emotional suppression.
"It is our happiness to share and be shared with," the Seskille Collective says, and unravel it they shall, because there is only one aboard the Enterprise capable of giving them what they want, and whether or not he agrees to share in return is irrelevant.
"It is our happiness," they say, again and again, as everything Spock’s worked for falls apart around him.
