Sorry if some of this is on the boring side. But I was tiring to think of
things that an off worlder would not understand. Also the stairs and slide
were somewhat inspired by something on another group.

Summary: This story takes place on Vulcan and involves a cadet Spock and a


Spock yelled out to Cadet Stephens, "STOP," at the same time drawing his
Starfleet issued phaser. 

The other cadets first looked at Spock and then to the river, which seemed
to move in an unnatural manner. Two rocks in the river where moving against
the flow. "What is it Spock?" 

"A Lematya, a single swipe of the claws will inject venom in to the victim
that acts similar to that of a King Corba where it attacks the nerve endings
of its victim. Nerve impulses cannot get to the muscles and Paralysis
occurs, including the Diaphragm which controls breathing. It also begins to
eat away at the victim on a cellular level breaking down the cell wall."
Cadet Andrews, the acting medic, replied. He was sure in his bag would be a
serum to counteract the effect. "Come on get back here before that damn
thing gets you." 

At least the boys were down wind of the creature. As long as they could
manage to stay down wind they would be able to hopefully pass it with little
provocation. 

Slowly, Cadet Stephens moved back. He sure enough didn't want to come back
from Vulcan in a body bag. Then at the last moment he drew his phaser and
fired. Watching and laughing as the beast screamed before being imploded
into nothingness.

"That Cadet was murder, a crime Vulcans do not tolerate." Spock said as he
lowered his head in respect for the beast. "That Lematya could have had cubs
to feed. Now they too have been offered a painfully slow death as well."

"But he said they are like the King Corba."

"Even poisonous snakes have a purpose dipshit. They eat vermin that would
otherwise run ramped."

"On Vulcan the Lematya keep the valit (small burrowing rodent) and k'nurt
(Vulcan's Rabbit) under control. Without them there would be an increase in
disease that is spread by the valit." Spock found himself explaining. "If
you would have taken a moment to learn about my world you would know this."

Cadet Stephens simply replied, "What do you want me to do about it now? It
isn't like I can give it back its life or anything." 

"No you can't. But if these were a real mission to an uncharted planet you
would be in violation of the Prime Directive."

Cadet Stephens began to laugh, "You have to be kidding me. I don't think so
the Prime Directive is meant for intelligent beings not some dumb animal."

"Your idea of intelligent life is not the same as that beings idea." Spock
said as he moved ahead, there was no time to continue this discussion. The
sun was already at a 75 degree angle to them and the heat was rising fast.
"In the future all phasers are to be set on stun only. Am I understood?" He
didn't care for the thought of ordering around the group of cadets but he
had been placed in charge of the group. He had even been pleased to see how
many came to his defense and spoke about what they knew. 

"Aye chief," all but one replied in unison, and were off again.

Spock lead them along side of the rivers edge stopping once in a while as
native wildlife came to drink. Cadet Kirk came to the lead of the pack ad
asked Spock, "I thought like Terran desert animals Vulcan animals could
retain their water better."

Spock looked at him, "Like Earth animals that have been closer to water
sources for generations have adapted to ultilize the water differently than
there counterparts who are not by water. Vulcan, like Earth, has plants that
are able to hold water. The animals that live away from Vulcan's limited
water sources live near these plants. We will see examples when we take the
desert survival training." 

Spock looked at the looming city before them. Somewhere in there she was. He
really hoped that he would not face her during his stay on Vulcan. He was
still ridden with guilt over Leila Kalomi, how could he have let her sway
his human half? He was Vulcan predestined to marry T'Pring. Outwardly he
showed no change in emotion with the exception of a single blink of the
eyes. Yet in there she would be. He knew she was somewhere near because the
bond they shared was stronger at the moment.  

Now was not the time to be concerned with what he could not change he had a
mission to finish. "Shir'Kar is a big city; we will have to use the transit
system to get around. Though, most of what we need can be found at the
Vulcan Science Academy. They have an apothecary, where the chemicals can be
found to treat the body and soil," he looked at Stephens and Andrews. 

As they came in to the city Cadet Stephens looked around at the immense city
before him. Somehow he expected something completely different. This was
dirty and putrid looking like some of the adobe homes of Arizona where he
grew up. He expected something far different, more like Earth and a state of
the art look to the landscaping. "It's so...dirty looking."

"Shir'Kar is almost ready to celebrate what we would term a millennium if I
am not mistaken," Cadet Barrymore explained. "There are also cities on
Vulcan that far surpass its age. Think of Cairo in Egypt, it is old and
dirty but is it any less important then the rest of Earth's major cities?"
Barrymore shock his head, "No, it is not."

"Enough, we have a task to complete," Spock told the other cadets. "It will
get hotter soon and it would be more logical to be in buildings during the
hottest part of day." He pointed in the direction of the Vulcan Science
Academy. "Our destination is this way."
