Sometime in the 2240s of the alternate reality, a young  answered math and philosophy questions while inside a dome pit at the Vulcan Learning Center. It was there where he was often harassed by a trio of Vulcan bullies because of his Human heritage. After thirty-five attempts, they successfully elicited an emotional response from Spock by calling  a traitor and  a "Human whore". In a rage, Spock pushed one of them into a dome pit and physically assaulted him. ()

Michael Burnham also attended the Vulcan Learning Center and had to answer questions about Klingons in her dome, which was traumatic for her given that Klingons killed her family. At some point after Burnham began studying at the Center, a bombing devastated the facility. ()
