How to keep a human in captivity

Every morning, when Arthur wakes up in his library room, he has the illusion of being back in the ocean, back to his familiar shell bed.

The computer simulated a quiet ocean environment for him, and they are beautiful blue.

Then Arthur got up and took care of his personal hygiene like a human being, which is easy to learn.

Well, then he'll take the time to look at Ford in the fish tank before he eats breakfast.

It is a pity that they lost their travel bags during the process of being teleported to the Enterprise. Naturally, the Siren's potion was also lost, so Ford could only maintain the state of a mermaid.

But Ford seemed very satisfied with this. He was lying in a fish tank the size of a football field, and the computer simulated the deep sea environment for him extremely accurately.

To tell the truth, Ford almost lost his mind.

Today, I also chatted with Ford for a few words, and then Arthur set off to the restaurant to enjoy his own breakfast. On the way, he would meet some humans in red uniforms.

They are the security personnel left behind by the Enterprise.

They would greet Arthur in a friendly way, and Arthur would smile back at them.

Betty and Navejit are volunteering on the seventh floor of the library, oh, if they finish sorting out the book information in an area, then they can get a coordinate of their companions on the earth.

73 super humans, the good news for humans is that only three of the 73 super humans have awakened, which is bad news for super humans.

But our Captain Kirk obviously knows how to keep his "guest" safe and secure.

In short, everything is arranged in a logical and orderly manner.

The only problem is Khan.

That's where Arthur comes in. Our captain and his first mate had a long talk with Arthur before the Enterprise left Earth's orbit.

The exact content of their conversation is unknown, but it is clear that they did reach some kind of agreement.

"So, how is your mood today?" Arthur took another chair and sat down, greeting his human beings gently.

When you are enclosed in a small space and the only entertainment is staring at the pale ceiling, you will find that you have a lot of time for thinking.

Yes, thinking.

Restlessness will not help you detach yourself from your current circumstances.

So Khan is indeed thinking most of the time, which also helps him adjust his mentality. At least today, he can respond to Arthur's question with a very calm expression.

"Not too bad," Khan said.

"Then we can talk."

"Still chatting?"

"It depends on what you want to talk about," Arthur replied.

"You said you would help me get out of this ghostly place." Khan glanced at his mermaid and asked tentatively, "When can I get out of here?"

"I'm helping you," Arthur said. "The Vulcans told me you know how to get out of here."

"Oh." Khan showed a hypocritical smile, "Of course I know, they expect me to give up my goals and live the rest of my life according to their wishes."

"Given the danger of your aim," said Arthur, "I do not think it would do you any harm to give up."

"So you also don't agree that better people should rule the world?"

"A better man? To rule?" Arthur said. "A mermaid doesn't need to rule."

"But humans need it."

"I think they're doing pretty well on their own right now."

"As I said, human beings are selfish, lazy, and hypocritical creatures. They still have no way to completely eliminate crimes, because they always have various desires."

"I won't talk to you about this, if you must." Arthur blinked, he felt his human being tempting him, oh, you have to admit, when his human face showed a pale smile, When he reaches out to you and says in his hoarse, magnetic voice: Come with me—

You really want to go with him.

It is difficult for you to hold your ground anymore.

To be on the safe side, Arthur took out a communicator that he had prepared a long time ago, "You can talk to our Vulcan friend... well, he is happy to talk to you."

Arthur turned on the communicator, and a virtual screen jumped out, with the image of Vulcan clearly appearing on it.

"Mr. khan."

"Mr.spock." Khan greeted the Vulcan who was probably on the other side of the universe in a friendly manner.

"This is my private communication. It seems that you want to talk to me."

"We should talk, the last meeting was too short."

"I'm very sorry about this. So, have you changed your mind a little?"

"My belief will not change."

The Vulcan was silent for a while, as if he was thinking, and then he said: "As you said, you are trying to build a better human society."

"Yes."

"But logically, if humans make mistakes, you should let them correct themselves, that's the way things are."

"He's right." Arthur glanced at Khan, and he added the unfinished meaning of Vulcan's words: "You can't think that you alone can support the whole world, it's too proud big."

"It's not arrogance," said the Khan to his merman. "In fact, I can."

Arthur looked at Khan quietly for a while, and then he said compromised: "OK, we can admit that you can."

After a pause, Arthur said again: "But the question is not whether you can, but whether you should do it. Human beings' problems should be solved by human beings themselves."

"It's your mermaid philosophy again."

"uh-huh."

The Vulcan watched the interaction between the two of them or a superhuman and a merman with great interest, and then he brought the topic back to the point again: "In fact, Mr. khan, humans need to make choices, and the results Good or bad, they take it upon themselves and learn from it. If you try to meddle with your own superiority, you are not helping them, but destroying them."

"Brilliant rebuttal." Khan began to smile again, a kind of smile with a little mystery, a little danger and a little demagogy, "But, human beings need help."

"In a way, I agree with you that humanity needs help," the Vulcan replied, "but they don't need power to rule. If you look back at the history of humanity, you can see how long it took them to get rid of that kind of rule." To achieve autonomy, we can't just veto something because of something wrong, and then let history go back a few centuries."

"Obviously in this regard, our opinions will never reach an agreement." Khan smiled slightly, "Then I roughly understand that the condition for me to get out of this cage is to give up my life forever. The goal."

"I sincerely hope you will consider our proposal."

"I sincerely hope our conversation ends here."

The Vulcan looked a little disappointed, and of course he could have foreseen such a result. In the end, he said: "Mr.khan. You said that human beings are lazy and selfish, maybe, yes. But if you use superhuman advantage to plan them, then they will always be lazy and selfish, without half the progress, I sincerely hope you can consider my suggestion."

Khan nodded incredulously, and Arthur cut them off from the Enterprise.

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a while.

Khan frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.

In the end, it was Arthur who spoke first.

"Now that you're done talking," said Arthur, "let's talk about our problems."
