Commander, now acting Captain, Spock was beamed upon the ship with the Vulcan elders and his father. His face was unreadable, but a hint of horror was in his eyes, his arm was extended out, to where his mother was supposed to be. But she hadn't made it. And the Vulcan planet was destroyed.

Spock was always unreadable. That was all the Vulcans. But he was half human, which made keeping his emotions controlled was slightly more difficult. He was a logical thinker. A smart man. Perfect in his duties.

You, the Lieutenant of the Enterprise, cared for him. You two were in a relationship, but it was odd being with him due to his less-than-emotional nature. No one on the Enterprise knew about it... But this was hard. This had shocked everyone. Spock's mother was dead, and his planet was eradicated.

Spock spoke a few orders calmly and walked into the elevator. His fists clenched slightly. You walked in after him and stopped the elevator. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." You looked into his unreadable eyes. "What do you need...?" You cup his face, kissing his cheek and wrapping your arms around his neck. Hesitantly, Spock wrapped his arms around you momentarily before pulling back. "What do you need..?" You tried to find something within his eyes. You knew he was hurting. But he masked it so well. Vulcan emotions outweighed humans, but they controlled them well. "I need everyone..." He spoke calmly. "To continue performing admirably."
