[net.startrek] Aging affect of Genesis

While on Genesis you remember that Spock aged faster than normal, but if
he did, wouldn't Saavak age too?

Because Spock was resurrected by the genesis effect, his being was tied to
the planet so that he aged at a faster rate and suffered agony as the
planet broke apart.  Removal from the planet severed Spock's link to the
planet and he would age at a normal rate.  Since Saavik had not been
resurrected by the application of the Genesis effect, there is no obvious
reason (according to the logic of your average fantasy universe) for her
to experience the Genesis effect in this way.

No, she wouldn't.  Spock aged WITH the planet.
They were probably linked by Proto-matter or the Genesis 
Effect or whatever else was going on there.
