In 2267, Spock performed a Vulcan mind probe on the Earth probe Nomad and spoke its thoughts: that its creator instructed it to search out, identify, and  imperfections. ()

In 2268, Spock's tricorder detected a non-humanoid lifeform on the planet Triacus, though it was impossible to make any specific identification as the readings did not correlate with any known information. ()
