Our local tv station just showed "Amok Time" (Spock's mating).
It seems, every 7 years, he must return to Volcan.
Now consider "The Immunity Syndrome", and recall the starship Intrepid
containing 400 Volcans.
The ship must constantly be flitting to and from Volcan,
never venturing far from home.
Someone's in heat every 6.5 days (statistical average).
Was the giant cell dangerously close to Volcan?
Or did the intrepid solve its problem by restricting crew members,
accepting only Volcans who "burn" during March xxxx (xxxx constant modulo 7)?
Wouldn't you love to be aboard during that critical month?
