Looks like someone knew exactly what I wanted... or should I say, needed.

[The image focuses on a poster on the wall of Mulder's office area in his apartment. There are a bunch of other things pinned to the wall as well- mostly his own notes, and other things of interest he's collected over time here. But the poster is clearly the focus of the picture. Finally, Mulder moves in.]

Did anyone else catch sight of that sleigh in the sky on Christmas Eve? I know I saw something up there, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a spaceship. This time.

You see... on my world, Santa Claus is a mythical character believed in by children... but I'm starting to wonder now if there might be something to that supposed legend of good old Saint Nick. It would explain the freaky little elves who were running around demanding things, too.

[Believing in children's fantasies is a bit of a stretch even for him usually, but after his sighting and the gift he wonders. Sure, it's just as much possible it's some trick of the Malnosso... but would that matter right now with what this means to him? He glances back to the poster. Back home, it had been burned up in that fire, along with a great deal of his work. Having it back gives him a feeling of hope and renewal.]

Maybe that's what Santa- or someone- wants to tell me. To keep believing, to never give up. It's a very different message than I'd have gotten from a fruitcake.

Indeed....However, to believe and have conviction is a most worthy cause, no matter the age of the individual.

May I inquire as to your name?

Agreed on that... Belief is a powerful force, I've felt it many times. Oh, and the name is Mulder.

[He peers a little bit closer. He was absorbed in thought, but now that he looks closer... whoa... talk about familiarity!]

And who am I speaking with?

I am Spock... it is well to make your acquaintance Mister Mulder. [If Spock's eyes seem unfocused... it's because he's blind.]

[OH GOD YES, AMAZING, IT REALLY IS HIM! The Spock! One of his heroes. It takes everything Mulder has not to jump around in glee. Talk about another blast from the past, specifically his childhood. However, at least for now he will totally refrain from "I used to dress up like you when I was a kid!" He knows how... spooky... that kind of thing would sound.]

It's an honor, a real honor to meet you, sir. You have no idea. [Ok he can't contain some of the excitement about this. And he also notices the unfocusedness in his eyes, which is rather concerning.] Have you been here in Luceti very long?

[Spock lowers his head a bit in what might appear to be bashfulness...

...but that couldn't be possible. He's a Vulcan.

"You have no idea"...]

It appears not... but please refer to me as Spock. I have been here for approximately four point two months... a rather interesting experience thus far.

How long have you been in Luceti Mister Moulder?

It'll be two years this coming March. Sometimes it's hard to believe it's been so long, but despite the lack of basic cable, the time really does fly right by. [Well, sometimes, anyway.]

[OH GOD HE'S REALLY TALKING TO SPOCK!]

It's... I mean, is it very different here, than what you're used to?

You have been here for a rather significant amount of time. [The 'cable' comment was received with an eyebrow raise...]

Indeed it is. I am not accustomed to being held for such an extensive period of time against my will in such... curious conditions. Though I have experienced much while serving Starfleet, the freedom that the Malnosso believe they have with us is rather disconcerting.
I am currently blind due to their... curiosity regarding Vulcan physiology.

Ah, so were you recently kidnapped for one of their personal visits? I'm sorry to hear that if so...

[After all, their effects may be temporary, but the psychological issues from these experiences are often longer lasting.]

Are Vulcans very different from humans? [He asks mostly to confirm how much the shows got right of the details. Why not? He may learn something new.]

There is no need to apologize, but I appreciate your sentiment.

Indeed... Vulcans differ greatly to that of human physiology. [Spock's head tilts...]

Though I am curious... what of Vulcans are you aware of, as you seem to have previous knowledge.

If I told you how, you probably would think I sound crazy. [Which... wouldn't be a first for Mulder. :|] A somewhat saner answer would be that since I've been here for a while, I've read up on a great deal about other worlds. [Which is also indeed the case.] Proving the existence of extraterrestrial, non-human life in particular is important to me.

[Spock would not think you were crazy.... he's heard of the television series.]

Indeed?

[Mulder would have done well on the Enterprise..]

Perhaps when I have regained my sight, you would be amenable to meeting in person? I would be most interested in learning about experiences.

[He's learned not to spring the tv stuff onto people right away... though many do find out sooner or later around here.]

Would I ever. [Oh god, he feels like a gleeful kid again, watching his first Star Trek episodes and getting into the series. This is amazing. All of the awful things he's experienced here, it was all worth it for this moment.] I would be honored to meet... whenever you're up for it, of course. I know how their effects can be.

[Spock would have full on smiled if he wasn't so Vulcan, as it is, he adopted a look of curiosity and amusement.]

That would be well.

I will contact you when I am once again with sight...

[Spock lifts his hand in a Ta'al...] Peace and long life to you Mister Mulder, until next we meet.

I'll be looking forward to the opportunity.

[And he holds his hand in the same salute, it doesn't matter whether it's seen or not.]

Live long and prosper.
