Earlier this month it was revealed that Zachary Quinto, the "new" Spock in the Star Trek movie revival, would voice the Emergency Medical Hologram tutorial for Star Trek Online. Today, IGN is reporting that the MMO will also be going old school as it has recruited the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, to contribute voice work as well.
