Academy Days
Authors Note: This is fem Spock for the 2009 reboot of Star Trek. This takes place before the actual movie itself and really covers Spock's days at the Star Fleet Academy. There will be many familiar faces in this, both from the movie and from the original series. This is set before the Enterprise was actually built so Pike is Captain of the USS Intrepid for now. I own nothing.
1. New Beginnings
Spock arrived back home after her confrontation with the Science Academy Council and began to pack. She had received word from Star Fleet earlier that morning. They welcomed her with open arms, ecstatic to have someone as proficient in science as she was, someone as unique as she was. She knew her father wouldn't approve of her choosing Star Fleet over the Science Academy but she knew she would never be fully accepted here on Vulcan, always seen as handicapped because of her human half. She needed to be able to reach her full potential, it was only logical. There was a soft knock on her door.
"Spock?" Spock turned to see her mother standing in her doorway, looking concerned.
"I heard about what happened at the Science Academy, are you alright?" Spock nodded, her expression neutral as always. Amanda smiled, a bit sadly.
"I am quite well mother. I have made my decision, I am joining Star Fleet. It is the most logical course of action." Amanda nodded walking all the way into Spock's room and taking her daughters hand.
"I know you will be amazing Spock, my taluhk ko-fu. When are you leaving?"
"I leave in two days. The federation ship, the USS Intrepid will be taking me to earth where I will train at the academy in London for approximately three years at which time I will be assigned to a vessel as a science officer." Amanda smiled a bit wider and shook her head slightly.
"I will miss you Spock." Spock nodded, eyes softening slightly though her expression never changed.
"And I you, ko-mekh." Amanda nodded and released her hand, allowing her to return to her packing. Sarek avoided their daughter for the next two days, he did not congratulate her on her acceptance into Star Fleet or show up to see her off to Earth. Only one person showed up to see her off in fact that was her mother, Amanda.
"I have something for you taluhk ko-fu." Amanda slipped a thin gold ring off her finger and placed it on Spock's finger.
"Ko-mekh?" Amanda smiled slightly.
"Just something small for you to remember me by. Tal-tor ek'man'es t'nash-ve ko-fu."Spock nodded as her mother hugged her.
"Heh du, ko-mekh." Spock stepped back as a small group of Star Fleet officers approached them. Amanda raised her hand in the traditional Vulcan salute.
"Live long and prosper Spock." Spock returned the gesture.
"Peace and long life, ko-mekh." With that Spock turned to the officers and was greeted by a tall man with dark hair wearing a golden yellow shirt.
"You must be Spock. I'm Captain Christopher Pike of the USS Intrepid, it's my honor to be the first to welcome you to Star Fleet." Spock took his outstretched hand and shook it.
"Thank you Captain. I expect the experience to be quite fascinating." Captain Pike grinned slightly.
"I hope we can live up to your expectations Miss Spock."
Translations: These come from a website called Starbase 10. I would like to thank them for being awesome and collecting so much of the language from both the episodes and the movies. So yes this is all in Vulcan, if anyone who has actually taken the time to learn the language notices problems with how it's been used contact me I'd love to learn.
