conversations.value: Sarek (Star Trek novel): Sarek discovers that leaders of the Federation and its enemies have been subjected to outside mental influence.\nHe suspects that the interference is linked to the Freelans, a race which has been part of the Federation for decades, but which no offworlder has ever seen due to a cultural taboo.\nSarek once inadvertently discovered that the Freelans look like Vulcans, but later dismissed the incident as a hallucination induced by the Pon farr.\nAfter secretly accessing the Freelan computer system, Sarek discovers that the Freelans are in fact Romulans, and that their Vulcan aides are the children of Vulcan spacefarers kidnapped by the Romulans and forced to reproduce.\nThe Freelan ambassador Taryn is actually the Romulan wing commander in charge of the plot to spy on the Federation from within.\nThe mental influencing of various leaders is carried out by the Vulcan aides, who were raised as Romulans without the telepathic ethics taught on Vulcan.\nSarek\'s work is interrupted by the news that his wife, Amanda, is terminally ill.\nAlthough he returns to Vulcan to be with her, he is soon called upon to negotiate for the release of a colony world held hostage by a Klingon renegade.\nHe agrees, even though he will not be able to return before his wife\'s death.\nHis son Spock, who believes his father\'s first duty is to the family, becomes angry when he learns of this decision, and the feud between them that ended in the episode "Journey to Babel" threatens to reassert itself.\nSarek succeeds in the negotiations and discovers that the Klingon commander Keraz who led the raid is also a victim of the Romulans\' mental influence.\nWhen Sarek returns to Vulcan for Amanda\'s funeral, he shares his findings with Kirk, Spock, and dr Leonard McCoy, and Kirk agrees to take him to Freelan aboard the Enterprise.\nThe Captain\'s own plans are to leave the ship to rescue his nephew Peter, a senior cadet at Starfleet Academy who has been kidnapped by the renegade Klingon Kamarag in order to lure Kirk into a trap.\nKamarag, acting under the mental influence of the Freelans, is the leader of the renegade Klingons who defy the orders of the female Klingon Chancellor Azetbur.\nPeter is brought to the Klingon homeworld Qo\'noS and placed in the care of Kamarag\'s niece Valdyr, who believes her uncle\'s actions are dishonorable but who is bound by her secondary status as a woman to follow his orders.\nShe is impressed by Peter\'s bravery and strength when he overpowers several Klingon warriors in an attempt to break out, even after five days of starvation.\nOver the course of Peter\'s imprisonment, the two fall in love and eventually escape together.\nAs they approach a Klingon spaceport intending to hijack a ship, they meet up with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, who had intended to rescue the cadet.\nThe five of them manage to steal a miniature Klingon Bird-of-Prey and escape back to the Enterprise.\nA Romulan ship is discovered just inside the neutral zone, and Sarek realizes that ship must be under the command of Taryn.\nSarek and Spock beam over to the Romulan ship in an attempt to acquire incontrovertible proof that the Romulans are involved.\nWhile attempting to forestall an attack against the Enterprise, Sarek accepts Taryn\'s challenge to an ancient form of duel that predates the division of the Vulcan and Romulan cultures.\nThe duel is fought with the senapa, a curved sword with a poisoned blade.\nSarek is cut and exposed to the poison but manages to win the duel despite Taryn\'s advantages of size and youth.\nBoth men are beamed to the Enterprise where they are treated by dr McCoy.\nWith the help of the Romulan ship and a single Klingon ship that deserts the renegades, the Enterprise emerges victorious from a conflict with Kamarag\'s fleet.\nWar between the Federation and the Klingon Empire is averted and the Romulan plot is foiled.\nPeter is required to complete the Kobayashi Maru simulation test upon his return to the Academy, since his missed taking it with the rest of his class.\nDespite engineering a better-than-usual solution to the scenario, Peter decides to leave Starfleet for the diplomatic corps instead.

  The other officers snarled their support of Karg's rebuke. Keraz sat back in his seat. "Perhaps I misheard you, Kamarag," he said grudgingly.
  The Klingon ambassador nodded, and within minutes the clandestine meeting had broken up. The moment she could do so without seeming suspect, Valdyr left her seat and hurried out into the corridor. She'd caught Karg ogling her with an appreciative eye, and she wanted to avoid the captain at all costs.
  But her way out of the deep cellars was blocked by the officers, who lingered, talking in groups, or waiting their chance to speak personally with Kamarag. Valdyr shrank back into an alcove that had once held wine casks.
  She'd been standing there long enough to grow chilled from the damp stone surrounding her on three sides when she heard two familiar voices. Kamarag and Karg were talking softly.

conversations.value: The Vulcan dreamed that he was on the surface of Freelan. All around him were glaciers, jagged buttresses of ice, sharp-fanged and glittering in the sunlight. He was walking toward a house... Taryn's house, he knew—though the Freelan had never described anything about his home, of course. Still, this house fit in with what little was known about Freelan architectural styles. It was a black, dome-shaped dwelling, everything about it designed to maximize the capture and retention of heat, as well as keeping snowfall from crushing the building.
  As he neared the front of the house, the door opened and a Freelan stepped out, his muffling robes stirring in the icy breeze. "," the Freelan said, and the Vulcan recognized Taryn's voice. "Why are you here?"
  She stared at him wildly, then laughed, a harsh, bitter sound that had nothing of humor about it. "And I'm supposed to be comforted by that, ? By logic?"
  Her husband stared at her, wordlessly. Amanda's eyes filled with angry tears. "I won't let you ruin his life, —even if it means going home to Earth and taking him with me. Maybe he'd be better off there, among people who have some compassion, some tolerance!"
  She faced him, her hot anger dying away to something cold and, the ambassador sensed, far more formidable. "Don't underestimate me,. I love you, nothing can ever change that, but you are an adult, perfectly capable of defending and caring for yourself. Spock is my child, and I will care for and protect him in the face of every threat to his being—even if that threat is his own father."

conversations.value: Taking a deep breath, the Vulcan tilted the jar slightly, allowing some of the gray powder within it to fall. The morning breeze caught part of it, wafting it away, but much fell, to land in the soil below.
  As the dawn breezes began to die, upended the jar, shaking it, so the last trace of the ash within could sift out, to drift and finally settle over the stones, the soil, the living plants from so many worlds.
  Carefully, the ambassador replaced the stopper in the now-empty jar. Then, his steps slow but steady, he turned and left the silent garden behind.
