Property of Ambassador Spock [SPOILERS!!!]

[WarpFactorZ]

The thought occurred to me: how did Amb. Spock happen to be in possession of a photo from the Prime timeline? He would have needed to have it on the Jellyfish, and avoid Nero confiscating it before he was exiled on Delta Vega. Let's brainstorm!

The only thing I can rationalize is that Spock was carrying some type of PDA that had all of his files on red matter and the Jellyfish user's manual, but also all his iTunes and photos (incl. the crew pic). He tucked this away somewhere () when captured by Nero, who basically didn't take the time to frisk him and just tossed him on the transporter pad -- although he was thoughtful enough to supply him with winter clothes! Spock's PDA was also how he knew the location of the Starfleet outpost (yelp.sf helped with that).

So, if this device was in the box nuSpock received, he's in for a treat during his downtime (presumably all TOS episodes and movies -- er... log entries -- are on there as well, not to mention info about the next 120 years in the prime universe).

Other thoughts? Brainstorm!

Do you have a photo of your wife, kids, family, etc. in your wallet? This is probably just the 24th century equivalent of that.

USB Thumb Drive hidden in the anal cavity. Nero was crazy, but he wasn't searching there.

 

[Cyke101]

I'd like to think that he had just enough red matter to create a tear in the fabric of space/time that would allow him to stick his arm into the other timeline and reach for the family picture on his Prime Universe nightstand.

I do like to think that spock went back and forth between the prime and kelvin universe thereby getting a few of his items.

He had the eels for that though.

I wonder whose idea was it ib universe to take the photo of the bridge crew? My money's on Kirk.

I would say Starfleet's PR department.

My take was that he kept it on his person the whole time, as many people keep photos of loved ones.

If that doesn't work for you, perhaps he took it as a good luck charm on his mission to save Romulus, a reminder of the times when he saved the galaxy on a semi-regular basis.

PDA? Those were pretty much obsolete by 2005

Nah, I am sure the Jellyfish had more than a gigabyte of storage. Things don't need to be physically stored anymore. Just scanned, and then replicated at will. Shoot, we are almost there with 3-d printers now! That photo could have just been a database photo of the crew, stored in the Jellyfish memory.

Slightly related: Did anyone notice Ambassador Spock's service record highlights on the PADD Spock is given by the two Vulcans? It mentions him serving as Executive Officer on the Enterprise NCC-1701-A. I don't think that phone call about Khan was the only time he broke his vow never to reveal information about the future!

 

[CorporalClegg]

That business on Cato Neimoidia doesn't… doesn't count.

Since the photo was from STV era, maybe Spock had written on the back where it was taken, and who everyone was (and their rank).

 

[arch101]

Nero tossed Spock's trusty Samsonite suitcase out with him on Delta Vega?

 

[Ithekro]

Spock was pretty young for a Vulcan when he died. 154 or so? Maybe five years on this other universe effected his health? Or maybe because he is a hybrid he didn't have as many years as his father did.

 

[The Wormhole]

162, actually.

 

[TheSubCommander]

Technically, Spock was half-Vulcan, so....

 

[Ithekro]

162 still seems young....for a Vulcan. Sarek was I think 203 and died from complications of a rare illness.

 

[Ovation]

Pretty old for a human, though. I think it cuts the difference nicely. And Sarek was old for a Vulcan (the illness, IIRC, was one to which the elderly are prone).

It's not the years, it's the mileage.
