Political Disagreement Gets Intimate During Private Summit

Stardate unknown to Humans. 

Two rival Vulcan leaders meet privately and unknown to the two sides they represented.  It was to discuss disagreements that had resulted in intense political disputes that had escalated over centuries. One represented the Vulcan government and the other represented Revolutionaries

The talks progressed... The Vulcan leader accused the revolutionary leader of being too emotional and not thinking logically. The revolutionary Vulcan then said to his rival: 

"If you would loosen up a bit--- perhaps we can come to a resolution that would be good for the planet". . 
"I'm having a hard time with that", said the Vulcan leader.  

The revolutionary whipped out a drink and said:
"Lets consume a drink, so we can both relax".  

It was a drink that was illegal (Revolutionary Ale), according to strict Vulcan laws, but was often consumed by revolutionaries.
The Vulcan leader then thought: “Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few”.  It seemed logical.

The Vulcan leader agreed.  He gulped down the ale.

For the first time in 150 years the Vulcan leader smiled. 

The talks continued and the Vulcan leader loosed up and had more Ale. The two began agreeing in certain areas.. After about the 4th drink, things got a little intimate, and they decided the only way to fully finalize their peaceful discussion was to conduct a little pon farr.   

The effect was beginning to wear off from the Ale as the too were in the height of pon farr. The Vulcan leader began to talk logically again.. 

"It would be fitting if you had the organism first", he exclaimed.. 
The revolutionary did not want to give in so easily and they began going back and forth.  
Neither wanted to give in and release all the sexual tension that had been built up in the engagement. 

It went on for 3 days. 

Finally, the Vulcan leader gave in and had the organism on the 4th day. 
"Well there", said the revolutionary.. "It looks like you were the more emotional party in the engagement after all". 

They then began to argue as to who was the more logical of the two. 

The arguments went on for many more days. During the whole time of the meeting, a war had escalated unbeknownst to the two leaders that were in private discussions, and since their people had no one to consult for peace or war operations----
Vulcan was destroyed. Logic got the better of them!
