With the knowledge that Vulcan has regularly high winds & subsequent sandstorms I propose a type of guy: midwestern dads watching tornadoes but for Vulcans. Somebody’s uncle Sovar standing outside with his hands on his hips watching a massive cloud roll closer. Unconcerned because this happens, like, every couple of weeks. He’s like “this one is large, is it not” yes it is go back inside Sovar

The one Vulcan aspect Kirk can excel at.

Kirk: “Oh yeah I’m from Iowa. It’s part of something called tornado alley.”

Spock: “Where’s the captain? The storm is getting worse.”

Crewman: “He’s out there with the other Vulcans. He told us to wait in the shuttle.”

as a Minnesotan, I honestly think that (if they can get past the cold and humidity) Vulcans would do just great in the Midwest.

Even aside from the tornado-watching adventurers that have the rest of us raising a concerned eyebrow.

We Minnesotans, too, are not permitted to express emotion, and rely on a complex and often-failing web of social cues and theory-of-mind to get just the basic necessary idea of what might be going on in each other’s brains, just so we can function as a society

we are in desperate need of Vulcan help… but the Vulcan non-interference directive says they will not make contact with another emotionless society, until we’ve repressed our feelings enough to reach the necessary evolutionary step of developing the mindmeld
