Spock looked around the Romulan cave hideout and noticed how tense and depressed the Romulans seemed to be. It was if all the air had been let out of a balloon and he was worried because it had been months since Picard had left and Pardek was exposed and their glimmer of quick hope of Unification coming fast was dashed. He knew from studying history that these kinds of movements can die without hope and to get them back on track they were going to need some kind of catharsis to get over what had happened. So he did the only logical thing a Vulcan can do and that is to jam with them. It worked with his harp playing with the space hippies years ago on the Enterprise and the break dance session he had to help Gillian Taylor feel more comfortable in the 23rd century years later at Starfleet Headquarters or the time he did the famous Turkey Dance to help the BIrdmanians feel welcome on their homeworld when they joined the Federation. Spock pondered for 3 minutes and 43 seconds and then the answer came to him. It had to be Biilly Joel. He already practiced his version of "Piano Man" for months before even coming to Romulus on the possibility something like this woyld happen. "I need a Earth PIano, D'Tan" he stated. Spock knew he was resourceful and would provide and sure enough he did within 5 hours.
Spock sat down on the PIano and cracked his knuckles and looked at the perplexed crown and began to play and sing:
It's nine o'clock on a Stardate
The Romulan crowd shuffles in
There's a old Sub-Commander sitting next to me
Makin' love to his Romulan Ale and gin
He says,"Son can you give me a mind meld
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew them complete
When I wore a young Centurians clothes."
La la la,di da da
La la,di da da da dum
Sing us a song, you're the Vulcan man
Sing us a song tonight
Well,we're all in the mood for a mind meld
And you got us feelin' alright
Now Johnek at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my pomek soup for free
And he's quick with a joke or a Vulcan hand salute
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says,"Vulcan Man,I believe this is killing me."
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be in Starfleet
If I could just get out of this place"
Oh,la la la,di da da
La la,di da da da dum
Now Paulek is a Reman novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Devius,who still lives on Remus
And probably will be for life
And the servants are practicing politics
As the Senators slowly get stoned
Yes,they're sharing a ale they call loneliness
But it's better than being alone
Sing us a song you're the Vulcan man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a mind meld
And you got us feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Stardate
And our second in command gives me a Jolan Tru
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To help forget Unification is long past due
And the piano,it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a Ale
And they sit at the bar and put latinum in my jar
And say, "Vulcan man, what are you doin' here?"
Oh,la la la,di da da
La la,di da da da dum,
Sing us a song you're the Vulcan man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a mind meld
And you got us feeling alright
Spock looked around and noticed the mood had improved. It was something to work with. He was starting to feel tired and knew he needed to rest. Tomorrow he would sing them "Pressure" and go from there.. He didn't like gut instincts but he had come to trust them more than he did in his youth and he had a good feeling that everything was going to work out for the Romulan people.
