(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... )

Jim was pretty sure it was the direction they should be going in, but he couldn't see anyone else anymore except Bones, and only because he was hanging onto him. The sound ended, making him stagger hard on his feet. He couldn't see anything but white, couldn't hear anything now that the sound was gone except the wind. If Sybok's transport had been screwed up badly enough he appeared above the ground, and his communication with the Enterprise was gone...

They had to find Spock. Had to. He concentrated on that feeling, plowing forward step by step through the thick snow, hoping it was still towards Sybok.

He didn't see the snow thicken right at his side, and something hit him and Bones hard, sending them both flying.

He could feel more than hear the noise, that piercing ringing that disrupted all his other thoughts (except the memories reminding him when he had last heard that noise) and making him, for lack of a better term, pissed off.

And when the ringing stopped, he didn't feel any better.

Sybok turned his head as he heard the crunch of snow over the howl of the wind, saw two figures approaching through the storm. He pulled himself to his feet and staggered over to them. "Captain?" He shouted over the blizzard; the cold-weather uniforms weren't exactly discriminating between ranks, so he had to take a guess.

Hank and Tyler pushed forward, having lost sight of their charges. They just hoped they were headed in the right direction. They'd taken a moment to tie themselves together like they were trained at the Academy to do during whiteout conditions. He wondered if their Captain and Doctor missed those classes? Fuck something was making his head hurt. Felt like the one time they'd taken off when the ship wasn't fully pressurized.

"Sir?" Life? Was it someone from their away mission or someone from this blasted colony?

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters outcastprince July 14 2010, 02:24:14 UTC

Not the captain from the unfamiliar voice, but still Starfleet.

"The captain asked that I transport down," Sybok told them both, and then waved out a hand towards the endless ice. "Do you know where he is?"

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters lt_hank July 14 2010, 17:58:14 UTC

Goddammit. They'd lost the Captain and Doctor. Great, just freaking great. First away mission and he was failing in his objectives. Well, if they had called for this Vulcan better make sure that they didn't lose him too.

Hank grabbed the tail end of the rope. "Sorry about this." And tied him into the rope with them. "We're looking for the Captain. This planet is...weird."

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters npc_aliens July 15 2010, 02:49:46 UTC

That sound came again and died a moment later. The ground felt like it was shaking under their feet, like something was coming along with the howling wind.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters outcastprince July 15 2010, 03:25:16 UTC

"Dangerous," He corrected, looking around through the blizzard. Nothing. Choices: they could wander aimlessly in the snow, or they could go back inside.

"Do you have a way to locate him? If not let's--go back to wherever you came from."

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters lt_hank July 15 2010, 03:47:46 UTC

Hank tried the communicator a couple times but all he got was static. "Yeah, let's move indoors. The comms aren't working."

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters outcastprince July 15 2010, 22:56:55 UTC

Sybok could still feel the vibrations moving up through the ground with low sound that he nearly couldn't hear. Earthquake or not-so-fictional sand ice worm, he didn't want to wait around until it stopped.

"Where did you come from?" His hand tightened over the rope leading out from the loop around his waist.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters lt_hank July 22 2010, 01:35:12 UTC

"Back this way," Hank motioned carefully, still sore, and lead the way back to the inside, Tyler bringing up the rear.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters outcastprince July 23 2010, 01:52:06 UTC

All of a sudden the building emerged out of the snow, the door still ajar from where they had left it and snow blowing into the hall. Sybok rushed in--felt the wind at his back, and once the others were in as well, he slammed the door shut (unlocked), and let out a sigh.

"So." He looked at either of them, rubbing his hands together to get some feeling back into them. "Our captain and CMO are likely trapped in a blizzard we can't search through. Who wants to tell the Enterprise?"

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters lt_hank July 23 2010, 01:54:15 UTC

Hank sighed. "I already tried. Communications are banjaxed. It's my responsibility anyway. I'm the head of security for this mission." And he expected a royal chewing out when he got back from Reaper.

Tyler was just glad he wasn't in charge for this mission.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters npc_aliens July 23 2010, 02:24:55 UTC

Somebody was there, though, listening.

There was a scraping sound in the distance, like stone against stone.

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters outcastprince July 23 2010, 03:24:01 UTC

That sound never preceded positive events in Sybok's experience, and the pattern wasn't going to change here. He grabbed for the phaser at his hip, checking it was on stun and not kill (how cute), and then looked to Hank and Tyler. "Have either of you heard that before?"

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters lt_hank July 23 2010, 03:26:23 UTC

"Not yet," Tyler responded, moving to make an outward facing triangle with Hank and Sybok. "Lt, you might try comming anyone again. Do you have some kind of Vulcan mind thing with Commander Spock you can do?"

Re: AWAY MISSION - Reseach and Living Quarters outcastprince July 23 2010, 03:54:09 UTC

Sybok thought about it, and then laughed, quietly enough that he could hear the sound of the stones again, closer and moving. "No...no, we don't," Though it was a sobering thought -- he probably wouldn't even know if Spock had died or was already dead, he was so disconnected from other Vulcans (and anything else, really).

He moved, getting between Hank and the source of the sound, as it rang again through the corridor.
