[ If it's one thing Erik has learned about Spock since his own arrival, is that he is anything but indifferent. An anomaly for his open association with Kirk, and an acquaintance he may well consider a friend at this rate for all their conversations in the past. ]

Call it their anonymity if you want, I see their entire existence and their actions as a threat. [ It's hard enough keeping his tone civil, especially around Spock, but Erik does so nevertheless, fighting back the urge to react. ]

I've been on enough lists throughout my life, you're right, and I know what they entail for the members on it.

[ Rounded up, experimented on, eliminated. The words still haunt him to this day. While it may not be the same, Erik can't help but let his concerns show through regardless. ]

No matter what the threat is, I wouldn't want that for anyone.
