AN: This story will contain alot of elements from various sources. Glimpses from each of the shows. In involves broken timelines, and how fate goes about repairing them. The root of it is a love story, but it will also have a mystery that must be solved before Spock truly becomes the last Vulcan alive.

STARDATE 2249.62Uzh Ah'rak flourishes; it was so named in the honor of our lost home world. Like my home world, Uzh Ah'rak is a desert world, though this world has an increased water supply and the air is not as thin or hot. The first settlement lies along the banks of a flowing river, in the more habitable southern hemisphere. Twenty-three kilometers to the west are hot springs surrounded by jagged cliffs that remind me of the home world. This mountain range, appropriately named Dah-sfek-kunel-zehl, creates a crescent shape around the colony. Its northern arc contains a mine where large deposits of Pergium were found, thus giving the colony a large supply of energy. Beyond the mountains are the remnants of a natural forest area. Large trees, in some cases, twice the size of the Sequoia's on Earth. The branching structure, however, is closer to that of the Risan D'Shara tree. A great inland sea is to the east, the green thick waters remind me of the Ocean World of Legara IV. They are near boiling and have a particularly abysmal aroma. Though the mineral contain within it will make the sea a valued resource in time. Natural underground springs have been found to the south and the land above them is extremely fertile. Members of the nobler clans have been given vast amounts of land to cultivate. With farms developing to engineer food sources that meet the dietary requirements of Vulcaniods.

The Federation could have easily turned it back on the last of the Vulcans. Instead, mostly due to the efforts of United Earth they have stepped forward. In a matter of three months the first settlement, Shi'Masu had industry, farms, a university, and government offices.Uzh Ah'rak has had its first birth today, to the Vulcan Priestess T'Lar. She named the infant T'Rea, thus, beginning, the population of Uzh Ah'rak.Uzh Ah'rak 's male population currently out ways the female population 2.87:1. It will prove dangerous to those unbonded males as they enter their cycle of pon farr. Fortunately, I myself am past the age of pon farr.

I find myself in a fascinating position, as being both a great-nephew to T'Pau, as well as her elder--by more than three decades. I am the oldest known Vulcan, thus ironically making me an elder. In the Vulcan culture this fact carries substantial weight and responsibility.

The pleas, I have made to the Romulan Senate have not fallen on death ears. It has been exactly two weeks since Vulcans and Romulans begin a new page in our history. Ten ships, which included the Enterprise, delivered two thousand Romulans, consisting of 1646 females and 354 males. Their specialties range from agronomy, linguistics, structural engineering, to xenology.

Spock sat as his desk and closed the log. He stood and walked to the window, looking out at the oasis that was now the capital of a new world. Of all his achievements, this...this was the culmination of them. The one, he took the most pride in.

The lines of distinction lightened a bit as the hint of a smile graced his features. He was struck by the irony, how these colonists were like those of his mother's world's past. They too were settlers in a strange land, seeking to bring the best of their old world with them. Unlike the American colonials, his people didn't leave for reasons of want, they left for reasons of need--Vulcan was no more.

He stood gazing out at the city below him. Less than six months ago, the land that stretched out before him along the river Vrel Pilash, was nothing more than a desert oasis. It was the most fertile ground on all of Uzh Ah'rak. It took three months for five thousand volunteers from United Earth to build the city as it was now. Ironic, how despite, Vulcan's distaste for humanity, it was Earth who has become there largest and most vocal defender. When instead, Humans--like the Tellarites and Andorians--could have thrown them to the wolves.

A small metropolis had emerged, complete with a hospital, a university, a shrine and temple, and dwellings. It also had a museum, where artifacts, that had been taken off Vulcan, prior to its destruction, were housed. In addition, there was a zoo of sorts, along the western edge of the city; it housed native Vulcan wildlife that had been collected from Zoos across the Federation.

Along the southern most boarders of Shi'Masu was a commune with dorms that houses the two thousand Romulans. These Romulans were the offspring of Vulcan and Human captive. It was appalling to discover, the Romulans had experimented in xenogentics on the captured humans since the late 22nd century. The compound itself was guarded and there were areas on the colony they had no access to. Spock could only hope in time the need for this measure would be eradicated. Thus far, the Romulans had preformed their duties to the colony admirably.

The other well guarded location was a Pergium mine about 10 kilometers to the north. Pergium's valuable use as an energy source, made it a highly caught after commodity, by pirates.

Outside the city, there were a large number of farms that raised fruits and vegetables to livestock for the production of clothing. The colony of now fourteen thousand was for the most part self sustaining.

Spock was deep in thought when a knock sounded at his door. It took him a few seconds to acknowledge the sound and say, "Enter."

The door opened to reveal Sarek. Spock couldn't help but notice the look on Sarek's face. It was a look he never saw in his timeline's father. Vulcan's of course, mourned, it was just Vulcans did not wear their grief on their face--at least the Sarek he knew did not. Added to the fact, this Sarek was more at ease to express his emotion, verbally. "I find myself in need of your assistance Selek."

Sarek used the name Spock had settled on. A name he had also used years ago, when he had traveled back in time. It had been almost comforting to see familiarity in this Sarek's eyes at the name. It could only mean, even in this time, Spock had traveled back to the time of his Kahs Wan. It was almost comforting, to know, his younger self would be able to see his mother again, in the future.

Spock waved an aged hand to a chair, motioning Sarek to take a seat. "Of course Sarek, come in, might I offer you a glass of Saya?" He moved to a table were various bottles sat. With a slight tremor, he picked up a bottle containing a thick green liquid. It was made from a fruit native to this planet; one that resembled the Terran avocado yet has the bitter taste of a Limon.

Sarek nodded, as Spock poured two glasses of the thick beverage. "I find myself in need of talking to someone. T'Pau, it seems has death ears." He took the glass of the fragrant liquid.

How many times in his own past, and dealings with T'Pau had he come to the same summation? Spock took his glass and returned to his desk, taking a seat. "How might I offer assistance?"

Sarek did the one thing that caught Spock off guard, he sighed and frowned. Though, he ignored it, reminding himself, this Sarek's future had been altered because of his failures. How did one repair a tragedy such as that? There was no way to logical way rise up the dead, though both Terran and Vulcan had myths of such events happening.

"I have been told my new bond mate has been selected, a Romulan female named D'Rah. Yet she will not allow myself of T'Pau to touch her mind." Being Sarek was the eldest, well second eldest male, to the house of Surak, it was important the lineage be preserved.

Spock knew of this female. He had personally, reviewed the files on each of the Romulans who would come to live among them. Her dossier was rather remarkable, she was a scientist well schooled in the studies of Xenogenetics--something the Vulcan colony was sorely lacking at present.

He did not understand Sarek's unwillingness to honor his agreement to aid in populating the colony. It was illogical not to do, what they all had agreed to do. He, himself had chosen, ironically, T'Pring; Stonn had died with Vulcan. In this timeline, his younger self had discovered T'Pring's betrayal, causing him to seek annulment. No doubt, Uhura had played a role in that.

Upon, selecting her, he had a flash of his father Sarek, and the choice he made at closely the same age to marry a twenty-five year old Perrin. T'Pring was only twenty-four. His mother would have told him, he was his father's son.

Unlike, his father--who had loved Perrin, almost as much as he loved his mother—Spock took T'Pring as an act of what humans termed payback. Theirs was a relationship of biological necessity, not on of exchanging of minds. Simple biological motives had left her pregnant with his seed—a daughter, he would name Amanda.

He thought a moment of his other children, and his wife--who in this time line was not even born yet. Life was full of possibilities, and he choose to believe, his younger self would one day come across the young Vulcan/Romulan hybrid, named Saavik.

Spock shook his head, clearing his mind of his own thoughts. Sarek watched him with concern. He reassured him he was fine, "With age come ghosts from the past. Now, your problem, I find no logic in your request. We all must do what is the best for our common future. Vulcan is not just a planet; it is a way of life that must be followed and persevered."

How familiar those very words were. They had been spoken by his father, when he dared to question his betrothal to T'Pring 150 years ago. Now it was he who had to make demands on an unwilling person. Still did this Sarek deserve to pay for his father's shortcomings? "Forgive the mind of an old man. Allow me to meditate on this. Shall we meet for the morning meal so that we may speak of this again with logic as a guide?"

Sarek nodded and stood up from the seat Selek had offered, heading to the door. "That would be acceptable."

Spock nodded and rose as well, walking to the door, his mother's words to Sarek filled his mind, 'promise me you will remarry...promise me'. "Sarek, if it is your feeling you would be betraying M...Amanda's memory, consider this, she would not wish you to be alone. She loved you and wished only for your happiness."

Sarek looked at Selek, whose strange words for a Vulcan spoke of emotion. Perhaps, Selek was developing early Bendii Syndrome. "I too will meditate, using your words as a focal point."

Spock watched the man who was and wasn't his father leave.
