[Spock hadn't experienced something like this since his
kahs-wan on Vulcan. The test had been a survival test, for a pre-teen Vulcan to survive on his own for ten days without food, water or weapons with him or her within the Vulcan Forge.
But this...this was different. He hadn't experienced such vegetation like this on any planet he and the

How big are the fish?

I have no paid attention to the aquatic life in this river, so I am unable to answer your question at this time.

Ah, it's fine, I was just curious since you were here first, I'll figure a way to find out.
[She starts to roll up her sleeves.] Oh, I'm sorry for the lack of introduction. My name is Vietnam, what do they call you?

Vietnam is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. [He had heard a variety of what would be considered 'odd' names from Humans, but to use the name of a country for that of a person? Fascinating.]

That...had to be the most accurate anyone ever described me. But yes, even down to the penisula!
[There was something that confused her, however, and that he wasn't human, and that she did not know of the future to be able to determine that non-humans would soon know Earth. Someone really needed to watch more sci-fi.] How did you know? You don't look like someone from Earth, I apologise if you are from Earth, just my world we only have humans...so far.

Your question is legitimate, so there is nothing to apologize for. I am not from Earth, I am from the planet Vulcan. However, I have done studies on various areas of your planet during my stay in the city of San Fransisco. The year of the dimension I am from is the later part of the year 2255. However, I am being rude in not giving you my name after you have given me yours. My name is Spock.

[Now with everything a little more clearer (just a little, there's still a lot she wants to learn!), she bows her head slightly] No no, it's not a problem, we both were confused. And it's nice to meet you, Spock. I hope Earth was good to you too!
As for me, I'm not human either. I look like one, but I am the embodiment of the country of Vietnam, each nation has one.

Your explanation helps resolve my confusion. I have not come into contact with any other...'embodiments' of the various Earth countries. I hope you do not find it offensive when I state it as overall 'fascinating'.

[She shakes her head and gives him a small smile] It is fine, it isn't something commonly known either. There are people who do know and accept it, but it's not like we go out of our way to make it known. There are a few here in Ruby City, though, so you may meet some more.

I am uncertain of where the First Contact will be during that year - the details have been lost over the numerous years and now that... [His sentence dies off as he thinks of everything that had been lost with Vulcan's destruction. So many lives, so much knowledge... He allows his mind to get lost in that memory, that memory of losing his mother who'd been so close that he didn't even hear her talking about the other country embodiments that inhabited the city.]

It'll be alright, having a small element of surprise will make it interesting. [She then noticed that while she was speaking, his expression looked distant. Was he distressed?]
Are you okay?

He was feeling quite homesick along with longing for his mother she asked how he was. Spock looked up at the river, drawn out of the thoughts he'd been sinking into.] I am partially emotionally compromised. Three months and eight days before being brought to this dimension I lost something and I am still feeling mental distress from it.
