(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.

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.

Re: AWAY MISSION - The Search For Spock kirktastic July 14 2010, 02:37:36 UTC

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.

AWAY MISSION - It be cold, Vulcan. npc_aliens July 14 2010, 02:54:50 UTC

Spock would wake to silence. A silence that was almost a sound, a constant far off impossible sound. It was cold, but not nearly as cold as it had been. It was somewhere in stone, a brilliant blue stone that gave off a faint light. No snow. In the distance, something gleamed white.

The pressure was diminished, but not gone, and it was close. Something was waiting for him.

Re: AWAY MISSION - It be cold, Vulcan. cso_spock July 14 2010, 03:06:17 UTC

It was, by far, the worst place he had ever woken up in, not that his life experiences had been as extreme as many other individuals. Spock sat up at once, the rush of which had him grabbing at his head the next moment, trying to ease the headache that had snapped forward because of the movement. Eyes squinting through the ache, he glanced around, and then got to his feet (more slowly this time).

The phaser was still at his hip, though it seemed he had dropped his communicator somewhere. Taking it from his belt, he approached the white gleam, curious, but also wanting to walk away from the source of the lingering pressure, if there was one.

Re: AWAY MISSION - It be cold, Vulcan. npc_aliens July 14 2010, 03:16:40 UTC

The lingering pressure seemed to move right along with him. Eventually, he got to the white gleam. It was a massive pile of something, a pile of long, white rocks... no.

Spock was looking at the collapsed skeleton of something larger than anything that roamed Earth or Vulcan.

Re: AWAY MISSION - It be cold, Vulcan. cso_spock July 14 2010, 03:28:04 UTC

Bones and rocks were easy to separate from one another by shape: rocks didn't usually form something long and femur-like...though to be in such a heap was unusual.

Spock crouched down, examining a piece closely, and then reaching out to prod it with his unarmed hand.

AWAY MISSION - Solo Mission Impossible kirktastic July 23 2010, 13:48:37 UTC

Jim had dressed quickly and moved away from the only warmth on the whole damn planet. One of them had to do this, to at least try this, and it only made sense that it was him. Spock was still in danger, not only from having been exposed and hurt but the sheer fact he was Vulcan, and Bones had to be there to watch over him. They'd survive together. It gave him time to think, working with each step to make sure his shields were up. It gave him something to do other than concentrate on the cold.

What had Sybok done with Bones? Bones wasn't the type to just share his problems, specially not with a total stranger. Had Spock done something in his head, more than what Jim knew, that Sybok could heal? He'd have a few damn words with Sybok when they got back to the ship -- fuck. Was Sybok okay? He had seen Sybok transport but not what happened after... this was all going so wrong.

These creatures, the tam'a Spock had seen, had killed the colonists. Jim had no doubt about that as he muscled through the tunnel, trying to remember exactly which ( ... )

Re: AWAY MISSION - Solo Mission Impossible kirktastic July 24 2010, 01:46:55 UTC

Everything in him hurt. Jim just kept going step by step, half remembering the way and feeling out occasionally. There was a good side effect to the cold - it made him stop thinking. Thinking about things he couldn't have and still do what he wanted with his life.

He got back to the bags, thumping down hard, and realized he couldn't feel his fingers that much anymore. "Bones!"

kirktastic July 29 2010, 13:26:12 UTC

Getting out to keep from thinking had been both a good idea and a bad idea. Good, because it worked. Bad, because it immediately worked due to the fact he could think of nothing else beside the cold. It was like his bones still had ice in them and as soon as they were exposed back to it in any form, his whole body wanted to shatter ( ... )

Finally, finally. Nyota had been hard at work for the past hour, trying to hail anyone on the away team as soon as the storm on the planet had shown the least sign of starting to abate, her ears alert for the least hint of attempted contact. Just when she was going to change to a different frequency, Jim's voice had her flying to respond and send a message to the transporter room at the same time.

"This is Enterprise, Captain Kirk -- Jim, what's going on?" The strain of the past few hours bled through just a little, though she tried to keep her tone as professional as always.

kirktastic July 30 2010, 00:53:16 UTC

Jim could have tried when he heard those words and that beautiful voice. "Uhura, you are the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Get sickbay on ready and please get Scotty get us out of here. We're in trouble! We're separated from the rest of the group!"

its_uhura July 30 2010, 01:13:52 UTC

"I've already contacted the transporter room and am alerting Medical now." She sent the message to sickbay even as she was still talking to him, so relieved to hear that voice. "Stand by, Captain. We've got you."

Nyota let out a sigh of relief, her eyes closing for a brief moment as that last message went out. She commed George, a short text message simply saying we've got them.
