Avoiding dispair ...

[T'aral 0]

T'Aral examined the Starfleet report on Were-Wires with some amount of disquiet. Most of the report was nothing more than T'Aral had come to expect from emotional races, but to discover that Starfleet believed Vulcans were involved with these beings had come as a shock to her.

 

Some would consider using technological enhancements to be simply logical, but T'Aral knew differently. So did many among the Vulcan race, for they knew what became of a person who enhanced themselves with technology. Having mechanical parts ... parts which felt no pain nor gave any musculative feedback ... tended to unbalance a being psychologically. The implications were highly disturbing. Vulcan intelect was always held tightly in check by their logic. An unbalanced Vulcan was inevitably violent, and there was no doubt that they would have to be neutralized.

 

She examined the report at length, and then began an orderly examination of the Wire-Weres to determine what was known about their neural enhancements. Neutralization did not have to mean death, but it had to be immediately effective. T'Aral's views of their coming opponents held neither compassion nor contempt, but if there was a way to recover a being from what had to be a state of insanity T'Aral preferred to do so.

 

To do otherwise would be a waste of a sentient being - aiding them was simply logical.
