Changes: I-Chaya

Revision as of 18:46, 14 September 2004

I-Chaya was a beloved pet sehlat of Spock in his youth.

When Spock undertook his maturity trial prematurely, I-Chaya insisted on following him despite Spock's orders against it. It turned out to be a good thing considering that a Le-matya, a dangerous animal native to Vulcan, attacked Spock and I-Chaya fought the creature as best he could.

However, the old sehlat fell in battle and both had to be saved by the adult Spock who had traveled into the past to prevent his own death at this moment. Although young Spock managed to find a doctor to help I-Chaya, the sehlat was beyond meaningful aid when he arrived.

Faced with the choice of a painful extended existance or a peaceful release from his suffering, Spock logically chose to have I-Chaya euthanized. It was an act that marked Spock's decision to follow the philosophies of Surak.

Spock's parents had I-Chaya's body brought back from the wilderness to be buried in a place of honor on the family grounds. (TAS: "Yesteryear")
