wytchcroftIn concluding and reviewing the recent lecture series here, it is perhaps merely logical that i
- Spock -
have been chosen to comment.
The recent reports on the 'para-normal' though open ended in presentation nonetheless demand a critical answer. And so, I - Spock - shall apply the same implacable logic that is the essence of my Vulcan heritage and which is familiar to many that have followed the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
Vulcan indeed, but you humans (and other) are not unfamiliar with the discipline, some of your most famous persons have embraced both the concept and the practise of clear sighted logic.
One such person would be Sherlock Holmes, whose dictum; "Once we have eliminated the impossible, what remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth," is well known.
Using this as a guide several definitive responses can be made. To take each in turn:
1) The supposed séance at the residence of Mrs Crintock. Ah, here I must admit to having the advantage of experience for in my duty as Science Officer I have been privy to observational details (both first and second hand) of alien life forms that are beyond the knowledge of Earth.
One such alien is the evolved marsupial known as the Clopotrop - somewhat similar to your native kangaroo. This species is also an example of the rare symbiotic type relationship found in very few life forms.
It is clear to me that Mrs Crintock is in fact a Clopotrop - and her pouchling is responsible for the 'voices' heard in the course of her mediumistic readings.

2) The apparent disappearance of entire offices has all the hallmarks of the sort of reality rip known as a wormhole, statistically such things are a rarity but, ultimately, not uncommon. Those seeking wages (etc.) lost along with the place of employment should therefore seek permission to travel in search of the wormholes other side. The office will be found wherever the wormhole re-emerges.
3) The totemistic fetish of vegetables may on first exposure appear irrational as well as illogical and there is no truly scientific way to refute this. However, the primitive must be respected as well as superseded and on my own world we have realised this – and allowed an element of vegetable identification within our meditations. I myself identify strongly with the humble (bean-like) root vegetable found on Vulcan and known simply as the K’monyoureallythinkimseriousT’begoingonlikethisandthatandtrysayingitwhenyou’redrunkandseewherethatgetsyou.
I am not the first of my kind to identify with this unprepossessing vegetable. The bean itself is the subject of poetry found in the annals of Sowot the great Vulcan philosopher, who writes;
Life is life. To live is the expression of life. Ah, my friends, how sweet to be a K’monyoureallythinkimseriousT’begoingonlikethisandthatandtrysayingitwhenyou’redrunkandseewherethatgetsyou.
Imagine all the species – it’s easy if you try,
living like the K’monyoureallythinkimseriousT’begoingonlikethisandthatandtrysayingitwhenyou’redrunkandseewherethatgetsyou and above us only sky.
Such a deep note signals the end of my review and I hope in all sincerity that I – Spock – have been able to illuminate what at first seemed unbelievable and that you can see for yourselves how the truth of these matters is actually plain.
Live long and prosper.
Spock.
