	Who knows, maybe there are some mysteries to uncover here. I mean, there is a whole jungle not that far off, there has to be something interesting in there. There's always something interesting in jungles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Uh-huh. Like lizards with razor sharp teeth and bugs the size of your head, and plants that want to kill you? I won't even go in there. [Not for the hell of it.

	Oh, is that all? That's... pretty mundane actually. _{[ He says it so matter of factly, because honestly, it kind of is. You get nearly eaten by a number of things in your life and you just stop being completely terrified or surprised by things with teeth.

	...Uh-huh. [Granted, raptors have nothing on giants and titans, but he's already tempted fate and cheated death to the breaking point. It would be just his luck to die because of something stupid - like one of those Sector 6 vine plants.] You throw yourself at monsters regularly, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[You'd think civilizations in the future would have discovered better ways of dealing with that. The more things change, the more they stay the same?] Are there really advanced lifeforms out there? Like, intelligent aliens? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, yes, a lot. That's how the Federation of Planets was formed. Every new race we come across that meets our criteria is invited to join and more are added every year or two. Humans weren't even the first to achieve warp. The first we know of, that we met, are the Vulcans. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2017-01-09 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	That's ... cool. [It really is.] Vulcans... Like the god of the forge? [AKA Hephaestus, if you were on the Greek side. It would make sense if they were descendant from the god of fire and metalwork.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's spelled the same way, but they do not have anything like the ancient gods of Earth. There's no relation, trust me, even though their planet is a lot hotter than Earth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2017-01-14 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Huh. That's a weird coincidence. Do they call themselves Vulcans, or is that what humans named them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2017-01-14 12:47 am UTC (link)
	What they call themselves. They might have an older name within their history, but we were introduced to them as Vulcans. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2017-01-14 12:56 am UTC (link)
	[He still found it weird. Even more so to know it was an alien race's name for itself. No godly or earthly influence, or however it worked in Kirk's world.] Do you know any personally? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

My first lieutenant, you is also my closest friends, is a Vulcan.

They're a very logical species. They eschew emotion entirely in favor of rational thought - in favor of logic, and they excel in science and mathematics. They have almost zero crime on their planet. Crimes simply don't make sense to them.

All of that can make him a bit frustrating, but he's a good person.

[That is ... a lot more than he was expecting. Though it does take care of his follow-up question, if the answer had been affirmative.]

Almost no crime. That's... That must mean their society meets the needs of its people. [He'd seen, and lived, first-hand how easy it was to turn to crime when you were desperate for food, for an extra layer of clothing, for a warm place to sleep.]

IDK what the spelling even was in that last tag, I'm so sorry

Yes, they do. It's more logical to provide for the whole and ensure everyone has their needs met, from food to education. They also believe strongly in the principle of all life being precious, which is one of the reasons they are strictly vegetarian.

That's not to say they're a perfect society, of course. But I believe it is safe to assume they advanced much faster than we did because of it.

	It happens! No worries! nico_di_angelo 2017-01-15 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	Nothing is perfect. But, it sounds like they set a good example. Except for the whole abstaining from emotion thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You might think that, but it's a part of their culture, and it was a way for them to overcome violence. They used to be a very aggressive, violent race. Eschewing emotion was their way of rising above that. That is not to say they are incapable of emotion. They form close bonds and families, but they simply don't see the point in getting angry over things they cannot control, or being jealous over something they don't have.

I don't necessarily agree with it being the best route, but it is the route they chose and I see its merits.
