Wait ... I know some of those.

... Of the Vulcan writers?

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

No, the human ones. I mean, I've vaguely heard of the Vulcan ones, but I don't think we read 'em in high school.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

Which ones do you know of?

Bokem wrote epics, right? I remember doing a paper about him and Homer.

[relaaaxes into that]

[tilts his head, raising both eyebrows a bit]

An interesting comparison ...

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Well, it wasn't anything brilliant. I was like fourteen and definitely not caring much about ancient dead writers.

... Forgive me, but I do not understand how your age at the time is a factor.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

Fourteen-year-old Standard literature papers are never particularly deep. Or interesting.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

I see ...

Which Human authors did you recognize?

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

All the ones you mentioned except Lao Tzu. Unless he was the Art of War guy.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

I believe he had several variations of his name, including Laozi and Laocius. He is hailed as a Chinese Taoist philosopher.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Then I dunno him. But the others are familiar, definitely. I had to read a Shakespeare play every year.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

Unsurprising given his impact of Earth literature.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. I think everyone reads at least one play before the end of high school.

[nods, still pressure-massaging]

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

What about you? You remember anything about your childhood?

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

Not with this recent memory.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

So what was it about?

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

Do you recall the ship designated as the Jellyfish and red matter?

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, Spock told me all about it.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

[... quirk]

Then you do not yet have the memory of entering the Jellyfish.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Not directly. But I remember him entering it. And piloting it.

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

[nods]

My memory was of attempting to rescue Captain Pike and happening upon the Jellyfish. Upon entering the ship, the computer addressed me as "Ambassador Spock."

Re: [Evening, presumably after dinner]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

... but that's not the first memory you have of him, right?
