(VOY: "Displaced") According to the non-canonical comic "When Worlds Collide", which was written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, illustrated by Paul Pope and published in Wired magazine in April 2009, an adolescent Spock underwent the "Tal'oth test" in Vulcan's Forge and defeated a sa-te kru cat with the Vulcan nerve pinch. This rite may be related to the ten-day kahs-wan desert survival maturity test experienced by pre-teen Vulcans.
