Summary
Voren is quintessentially Vulcan. Born of a pon farr-induced tryst to parents who didn’t want him, logic was always a companion when he had nothing else. Saeva’s ears may be pointed, but she’s never considered herself Vulcan. After spending her childhood on a war-ravaged colony world and her youth under the tutelage of a Nausicaan smuggler, logic has never been a factor in any of her many mistakes.
One seeking purpose, the other seeking redemption. When chance lands them both aboard the USS Enterprise, instincts draw them together in ways they cannot control.
Beyond the secretive atmosphere of Vulcan, pon farr exists in a place between rumor and fantasy, contrived into plotlines and punchlines alike. Yet for Vulcans who suffer from it, the time of mating is a fight for survival that often culminates in broken hearts, broken families, broken lives. As Voren will discover, Vulcan logic may be the key to serenity but Vulcan biology always exacts a price.

Statistical Probabilities and the Line Between Patriotism and Treachery by TomFooleryPrime
Fandoms: Star Trek, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Summary
The Deep Space Nine episode “Statistical Probabilities” is my favorite Trek story ever told.
What it lacks in action, it more than makes up for as a thought experiment, forcing viewers to grapple with hard questions. What does it mean to be a traitor? What does it mean to be a patriot? Where is the line between freedom and oppression?
In today’s highly polarized environment, this inconspicuous DS9 episode feels more salient than ever.

Summary
Case study: an empirical inquiry that investigates the real-life context of a single individual or group to explore the causes of underlying principles or phenomenon.
When Ambassador Sarek granted Dr. Amanda Grayson permission to conduct her research on Vulcan, she prepared herself for the uncertainty of space travel, the planet’s extreme heat, and the often-frustrating logic of its inhabitants. She did not prepare for being swept up in the rising tensions between humans and the Vulcan people.
With Vulcan undergoing a period of turmoil, Sarek and Amanda often find themselves targeted by those in the shadows. Together, they maneuver the harsh and rough terrain of Vulcan and its politics.
