Any mindful owner of a unique piece of property would take pains to protect it. Where is Spock's will in this?
Spock had joined Starfleet because, standing in front of the Elders Council as they informed him of acceptance into the Vulcan Science Academy, highest honors on his name an his father's house, he had known the truth of himself without any room for doubt. To follow that path was to belong to another identity for the rest of his long life - to belong to anyone as he submitted to their expectations of him: brilliant, cold, as barren as Vulcan's Forge at high noon.
Now he belonged only to the people, places, and things which he himself had freely chosen.
