(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 - The Search For Spock dctr_mccoy July 14 2010, 02:19:39 UTC

Bones was laying flat on his face. Something had hit Jim and him, knocked them off their feet and onto the ground with the force of a hurricane wind. Lifting his head, it was blowing so hard he almost couldn't make out the body not five feet away from him.

"Jim!" he called out, crawling on his stomach toward the bump in the snow that he hoped was Jim. His gloved hands reached out and felt Jim's body, and Bones sighed with relief.

Jim forced his head up with a groan, looking around. Where was the truck that'd hit them? He shook his head to clear it, and looked at Bones. "Where the hell is Sybok!? Or Hank and Tyler?!" He couldn't see a damn thing. How hard had they been thrown by that hit??

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock dctr_mccoy July 14 2010, 02:49:44 UTC

"I don't see them," he called out, moving closer to Jim, the only person near him.

As hard as it was blowing, the others could have been ten feet away and he would have missed them. Worse, the feeling inside his head -Spock- was waning, the bond went from screaming to almost nothing. Now he was scared. "We gotta find him," Bones told Jim, knowing he'd know who he was talking about. "He's in bad shape."

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock kirktastic July 14 2010, 02:52:18 UTC

Couldn't agree more. Jim nodded, his voice raw over the wind. "We gotta follow the bond!" There was no other way they could find him. Sybok was supposed to help but... damn he hated ice planets.

So despite the howling wind, the threat that something was attacking(?) them, and the cold, he tried to concentrate.

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock dctr_mccoy July 14 2010, 03:04:38 UTC

It would be hard, with the gloves, but Bones reached for Jim's covered hand with his own, as if together they could focus in on Spock's location. Closing his eyes, he tried to open his thoughts completely, hoping that the Vulcan would be able to feel it, make some sort of contact back.

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock kirktastic July 14 2010, 23:16:15 UTC

There was nothing for such a frustratingly long time that Jim almost cursed aloud before there was something. An indescribable something. He felt for the bond like he had to when he was practicing shielding, and just started to walk in the direction that felt right.

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock dctr_mccoy July 14 2010, 23:22:56 UTC

Bones was having a harder time locating Spock with the bond, but thankfully Jim seemed to have some sort of idea where they were going. Holding onto Jim's coat, they headed off away from the residential areas they had just come from, hopefully toward the building where they'd left Spock.

Spock was supposed to have headed toward them and the colonist housing from that building they'd left the other group, but it felt like, to Bones, that they were heading in another direction.

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock kirktastic July 19 2010, 00:12:39 UTC

"He can't just be laying out in the snow!" Jim called out over the wind, hoping Bones would even hear him as they struggled together. This was stupid, beyond stupid, and he knew it was dangerous to separate from the buildings they knew, but he couldn't risk losing Spock.

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock dctr_mccoy July 19 2010, 00:49:15 UTC

There was something itching in the back of his head again, that feeling again, and Bones surprised himself how pleased he was to feel it. Conscious. Hold on. "He's awake."

Standing still for a moment was dangerous, the freezing ice and snow swirling around them, but he needed to center his thoughts to see if he could feel anything. It took more energy than he wanted to spare, but there it was - a feeling of fear and cold and pain and inadequacy.

And it felt like it was coming from the left. Bones reached for Jim's gloved hand. "This way," he tugged at Jim to follow him, hoping he wasn't leading them astray.

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock kirktastic July 19 2010, 01:06:58 UTC

Jim followed immediately, getting that sense of Spock now that Bones had pointed it out. He looked around, but saw nothing but white. It was freezing cold, even through his layers, it was starting to burn-cold on his skin.

"He could be five feet away from us and we'd miss him!"

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock dctr_mccoy July 19 2010, 01:27:04 UTC

"C'mon Jim! Gotta slow down, find him." He had a feeling that Jim and Spock had a much stronger sense of each other, from everything that had happened between them. Most of the time that bothered him terribly, but right now, Bones was willing to use anything he could to find Spock, the sense of cold cold so cold getting stronger in his head. "Stop thinking and just feel him!"

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock kirktastic July 19 2010, 01:34:19 UTC

Jim shook his head, stopping in the snow and holding brutally hard to Bones' hand as he tried to concentrate. He didn't know how to do this, to find this bond and find someone on the other side. Couldn't let that stop him, couldn't ever. Had to find him.

SPOCK! He cried out in his mind, trying to get something from him.

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock cso_spock July 19 2010, 01:48:08 UTC

A faint tendril reached out for them both through the bond, pulling at them weakly. He didn't know where he was, so he couldn't (try to) project any more than that. It was something to keep him awake.

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock dctr_mccoy July 19 2010, 01:59:30 UTC

"That!" Bones nodded, squeezing Jim's hand back as tight as he could, standing close. He'd felt him trying, which was good, but the lack of strength coming from that mind worried him terribly. "Whatever you did, it worked, Jim!"

Like a divining rod, Bones felt the tendril tugging them forward, and holding onto Jim, he took a few steps forward, pleased when the link felt that much stronger with each step.

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock kirktastic July 19 2010, 02:07:46 UTC

Spock, we're coming, we're coming just hang on... Why did it feel so weak? There was no shielding, they should have been able to feel him better than this!

Yet step by step, as the wind got worse, they continued. Eventually, what felt like forever in the storm, it stopped. Every direction Jim stepped in felt no different, but there was nothing there.

When had he stopped shivering?

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock dctr_mccoy July 19 2010, 02:28:13 UTC

The sense of Spock in his head was dissipating, but at least they had a direction to head in, and Bones kept pressing forward. The look on Jim's face told him that he wasn't feeling the pull any more either, but they had to keep moving. Staying still in this wind wasn't an option.
