It is hard to understand humans. They are disturbingly flighty creatures, prone to outbursts of extreme emotion and making illogical decisions. In the sober light of the ship of the Enterprise, Spock knew he originally had not been supposed to find those creatures so fascinating. However, he also knew that he had never been supposed to be stuffed full of cold electronics and blinking, artificial lamps. It was very hard to remain detached and professional when confronted with those delightfully lighthearted and diligent creatures. Or maybe his straying thoughts were a product of his increasing fascination with the charismatic - and utterly befuddling - Captain of the vessel.

Life certainly never got boring on board the ship - that was a given fact.

Especially not when one vicious, vermin-like alien kept appearing on their radar, leading them on a bloody chase through the galaxy; playing with them like they were nothing more than his puppets.

Which, in all honesty... they probably were.
