-: Did your mother tell you the story?
-: Of the IDIC?
-: Infinite diversity in infinite combination.
Surak tells us the story of the IDIC
has no end.
But it begins here,
at Mount Seleya.
-: Surak died on Mount Seleya.
-: His body, yes.
But his katra was spirited away
before the last battle against those
who marched beneath the Raptors' wings.
-: What's a "katra?"
-: Syrannites claim it's the essence
of a Vulcan mind.
That it can be transferred from the body before death
and stored in some manner.
-: Some say Surak's katra was found
and now is carried by a Syrannite,
so all those who meld with him
may touch Surak's mind.
-: Syrannites conduct mind-melding?
-: Surak tells us
it is the heritage of every Vulcan,
even those who don't believe in the practice.
