On Earth in 1957, Mestral sought a Vulcan particle weapon inside the wreckage of his ship in order to free a group of twelve Human miners who had become trapped when a mine collapsed. The Vulcans planned to carefully hide the weapon from the Humans, fearing cultural contamination otherwise. In response to Mestral appealing to Vulcan shipmates T'Mir and Stron for help in finding the particle weapon, Stron refused but T'Mir eventually assisted Mestral. ()
