On Stardate 237405.02, hen Savan was approximately 10 Earth years, he once again accompanied his parents. Their journey meant to take them from Vulcan to a new Vulcan colony. During the final leg of their journey, the independently run transport became caught in an ion storm, causing irreparable repair to the warp drive and leaving the ship with no option but taking refuge in a nearby unexplored solar system. Unbeknownst to the the Vulcans, the transport was carrying a large shipment of Trellium D that had been safely contained. However, a breach in the containment field caused for a gradual release of Trellium D into the ship’s ventilation system. Eventually, Savan’s parents suffered from moderate exposure. While the exposure did not lead to the violent, irreparable state that had been seen on a Vulcan ship in the 22nd century, Varis and T’val both lost control of their emotional suppression, leading to progressively worse states of paranoia and rage. After the couple nearly killed the ship’s captain, the physician managed to put sedate them and put them into stasis. Savan had been in a different area of the ship and suffered a lesser degree of exposure. While the exposure was not fatal for his parents, both were never fully able to recover and sent to a hospital facility on Vulcan. | |||

After some effort, Staran was able to find T'val's cousin Torin, a half-Vulcan who was an interspecies anthropologist in Northern California. Torin’s father, Selon, joined Star Fleet and married a human female, with whom he had three children, Torin being the youngest. Despite his father’s preference for alien cultures, Torin managed to raised his own two sons with some Vulcan culture and taught them certain mental disciplines in order to help contain some of the stronger Vulcan drives, all the while knowing their dominant human blood left them for all intents and purposes humans in the eyes of fellow Vulcans. (Their Vulcan features did make other humans considered them as Vulcans.) TWhile Torin could not consider himself a pure Vulcan, he did pride himself on his Vulcan ancestry and was eventually able to reestablish and restablished contact with his father’s family. Thankfully, the family hailed from the small city of T’Vral Kol, located on the shores of the Voroth Sea, Vulcan's largest ocean. In keeping with the general culture of T’Vral Kol, the family was more liberal and open-minded compared to Vulcan's in the capital when it came to dealing with other species. Hence, for Staran, Torin seemed the most logical option to raise a Vulcan child who would never be entirely accepted in the narrow constraints of Vulcan society. | After some effort, Staran was able to find T'val's cousin Torin, a half-Vulcan who was an interspecies anthropologist in Northern California.

After several months of discussion between Staran and Torin, Torin travel to Vulcan to meet Savan and, after a positive meeting with Savan and his uncle, Savan took the then 12-year-old Savan into his custody and brought him to Santa Cruz. Savan proved to be an entirely new challenge. Unlike his own children who were of a mixed background—and hence with more moderate human traits—Savan was a pure Vulcan who possessed the strong emotions and passions of his ancestors. In some ways, Savan had the raw, unfiltered rage fit for a Klingon youth—an emotional quality that Torin knew came from Savan’s loss of his two parents and the inability for Vulcan society to accept him or his parents. Moreover, the proscribed medical and psychiatric treatments proved only to be moderately effective at best. As an anthropologist, Torin contacted parents of mixed species children for desperate advice. . The parents of two part-Klingon children had found one successful outlet for their children: intense physical activities that required immense discipline. Their advice proved to be an effective channel for Savan. Torin managed to enroll Savan into various martial arts programs and wilderness survival programs. Then came the ocean. Torin's wife, Tevai, was a human and originally an accomplished surfer from Tahiti. Already in their late teens, his sons, Tauvin and Tarek, had proved highly successful in their mother's posrt and eventually taught Savan the art of wave riding and competitive swimming. As the human expression goes, Savan took to the sport like a fish to water. Tevai and his cousins would eventually take Savan on trips around Terra to different surf spots, Hawaii, Tahiti, Australia and Indonesia. It was during these travels that Savan discovered a love for the sea and tropical climates. | After several months of discussion between Staran and Torin, Torin travel to Vulcan to meet Savan and, after a positive meeting with Savan and his uncle, Savan took the then 12-year-old Savan into his custody and brought him to Santa Cruz.
