Tuvok of Vulcan

It is too early for me to think of retirement. However, if I reach that stage of life, I may logically assume I will have a wife and adult children, possibly grandchildren. I would live in tranquility with my family.

Thank you, Sir.

I am taking all necessary precautions, Sir.

Indeed.

That is a logical assessment, Sir. However, that does not prevent me from hoping that does not occur.

I am calibrating the sensors to detect even the slightest distortions, Sir.

Indeed.

Yes, Captain. Currently no such signs are detected.

Yes, Commander.

*Tuvok began working his console and initiated scanning with the long-range sensors.*

Yes, Sir.

That is good.

My apologies if it causes any embarrassment, Sir...

Yes. If I may say, Sir, you yourself are considered legendary.

Indeed, Sir. I did not have that honor.

That is my hope as well, Sir.

Yes, the loss of Admiral Kirk was...shocking.

I believe you are referring to Ambassador Saavik, correct, Sir?

That is indeed a concern, considering the tendency of both the Klingons and the Romulans to resort to brutality.

Indeed, Sir. I believe they used similar tactics prior to the Earth-Romulan War in order to break apart the Coalition of Planets.

I see. That is logical considering the recent tension with the Romulan Star Empire.

What is our assignment, Sir?

Captain Sulu acts illogically, but that is to be expected since he is human and he served under Admiral Kirk on the Enterprise.

*Tuvok nodded.*

That is appreciated, Sir. I will do my best to reach the level of potential you see in me.

I likely will, Sir, if I am to continue my career in Starfleet.

I am adjusting well, Sir. My interactions with both my superiors and my peers have been mostly agreeable despite my relative inexperience in dealing with non-Vulcans.

Thank you, Sir.

Greetings, Sir. I have been engaging in an agreeable conversation with Lieutenant Valeris.

That is correct. I am Ensign Tuvok.

I must admit, Lieutenant, that I was one such cadet. Although I did not repeat your achievement, I did graduate third in my class.

That is true. However, you may feel...satisfaction that your achievement serves as a model for future Vulcan cadets.

I am well, thank you, Seven.

I have heard. You are the first Vulcan to have graduated from the Academy as valedictorian. That is impressive.
