(OOC: If you want to be a part of this away mission, please read the whole post including OOC comments at the end for all information, captains orders, etc.)Kirk stared down at the ice planet on the forward view screen unhappily. He didn't have the best relationships with ice planets, and the idea of going down to this one had him less than pleased ( Read more... )

AWAY MISSION - Spock goes outside, sucks to be him. npc_aliens July 11 2010, 04:37:38 UTC

Spock would get only halfway to the living quarters before something changed. It was like a great pressure on the air, and all around him, the howling wind suddenly died. The snow drifted down, slow scatterings that made his ears hum in the silence. Twenty feet in front of him, to either side, he could see that the snow was still racing by, leaving him in a pocket of nothing. The pressure beat on the air like a drum.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Yes, yes it does. cso_spock July 11 2010, 04:47:29 UTC

This was...unexpected. (surprise)

His first instinct was to go for the tricorder, turning at the knobs until the screen could give him the information he wanted--energy readings within a twenty foot radius. Everything else seemed to remain normal, as he turned in a slow circle to examine the pocket...but it was still cold.

He couldn't linger, so he took a step towards the edge, wondering if he could pass by this mysterious barrier that kept the snow out.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Lawls. npc_aliens July 11 2010, 04:50:10 UTC

As he stepped forward, the pressure only got that much more immense. It started to pull down at him and simultaneously started to pull in every direction. It almost felt like one great overbearing presence.

Re: AWAY MISSION - This is revenge, isn't it? cso_spock July 11 2010, 04:57:26 UTC

Less acceptable. (annoyance; fear)

Spock dug his heels into the ice and the snow but the pull almost seemed to grow. Predicting his balance would be compromised soon, he dropped to a knee, and pulled out his phaser from his belt. Of course, logic crept up--what was he going to shoot at? Would exciting surrounding air molecules do anything? Wondering, he fired a shot at the pressure barrier, out towards nothing if it proved useless or permeable.

Re: AWAY MISSION - This is revenge, isn't it? npc_aliens July 11 2010, 05:01:41 UTC

Proved... completely useless. The pressure continued, pressing down on him physically as well as on his mind.

But something in the snow outside of the invisible wall started to form. A shape in the snow, almost like a trick of the eye.

Re: AWAY MISSION - This is revenge, isn't it? cso_spock July 11 2010, 05:12:25 UTC

With the phaser failing to do anything and this increasing pressure beginning to distract him, he felt a slight sinking feeling in his gut. If he had the ability to think, he would begin to re-evaluate his chances for survival, what he could do to increase it...but the delicate workings of his mind, in the process of being rebuilt since the occurrence of pon farr, began to falter sooner than he anticipated.

Blindly, he stuck his phaser back on his belt as he sank to his other knee, the other hand clutching at the side of his head as he tried to draw up stronger shields. Difficult, too, when the air felt thick and suffocating. Spock could also hear the distant beep of his communicator. They would have to leave a message.

Re: AWAY MISSION - It sure is, my friend. npc_aliens July 11 2010, 05:15:54 UTC

The snow seemed to get closer as the pressure increased, now a whine that was too high pitched to hear, just at the edge of his hearing range. The blizzard was picking up, starting to wrap around him.

It felt like something was watching him, right there with him.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Wonderful. cso_spock July 11 2010, 05:22:08 UTC

He never doubted a scenario's ability to go from bad to completely awful, as it seemed to be doing now. The pull and push of the wind hit right up against his back and made each breath harder to draw. The whine made his shoulders hunch, the hint of the sound piercing through his thoughts in the worse way, making him curl towards the ground as he struggled to focus above it.

A few moments more of that, gulping down lungfuls of frozen air, before he pulled up again, looking up through the snow with both hands framing his head.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Indeed. npc_aliens July 11 2010, 05:26:22 UTC

Scratch that, there was definitely something right there with him. Framed in the snow was something just able to be seen, something taking shape. A large eye, hollow and horribly seeing.

The not-sound only got louder, screaming in his head.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Indeed. cso_spock July 11 2010, 05:37:01 UTC

There was something to put into his report. Assuming he survived. Assuming that the cold running through his veins was just fear and not the beginning of frostbite.

It was probably both.

Spock took another gulp of air, shallower than the ones before, and threw himself back away from the eye and the forming shape. He didn't want to know what the entire outline would be. His hand clawed through the snow to give him enough forward pull so he could get to his feet, but he stumbled and fell to his knees again, concentration compromised by the sound he couldn't tune out.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Indeed. npc_aliens July 11 2010, 05:39:32 UTC

The sound came to a climax like a needle stabbing into his brain and shut off a second later. A heavy weight crashed over him, and Spock could feel himself being lifted from the ground without being touched. The pressure wrapped around him like claws, sinking under his skin.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Indeed. cso_spock July 11 2010, 05:46:43 UTC

The pain was near blinding in that single moment and, in retrospect, he would feel sorry for those attached to him that had to feel that fired through his bonds. But the next moment he could think again, and it was a struggle to get back enough forethought while his limbs felt increasingly immobile.

His fingers grabbed weakly for the communicator at his belt, shaking with ache as he flipped the cover up. "Jim," His throat hurt. Could it even be heard over the noise of the wind? "Shields." He tried to push the word through the bond at the same time, as direct as he could make it.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Indeed. npc_aliens July 11 2010, 05:50:02 UTC

Ethereal claws were tightening around Spock's body, squeezing the air out of him with the sheer freezing temperature that came with it. The noise was starting back up again, slowly this time, but stronger.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Indeed. cso_spock July 11 2010, 05:55:48 UTC

It squeezed the breath from him, piercing through the cloth and into skin like needles. Desperately, he tried to writhe from its hold as if there was a way to get out of it, and the communicator dropped from his loose grip into the snow.

Then the noise, filling up his thoughts as if pushing out. His mind might suffer more the a migraine if this kept up, he didn't know, but he couldn't push it back. But it was also difficult to take air in and his body suffered. everything was fuzzy and white and his lungs were tight, something rang at the back of his mind that tasted familiar and wholesome and welcome, and then it was black.
