[mSpock's quarters - using the override appropriately (for once)]
In an extremely unusual turn of events, Tina actually had two back-to-back shifts that contained neither crises nor long stretches of inactivity. The reminder to all crew to get their vaccinations up to date kept a steady stream of people moving in and out of sickbay, an odd contrast to the usual feast-or-famine experience of dealing with either a slow workday punctuated only by scattered muscle strains or a fast-paced rush of coping with multiple casualties or a nasty virus.
It should have been comfortable, being able to treat patients quickly and easily, know that one was doing good work, and not get covered in blood or other bodily fluids. Tina found it mind-numbingly boring.
When she took a break near the end of her second shift, she mischievously opened a connection to the old internet network on a terminal near McCoy's office, thinking that she might give her boss an illicit thrill by hunting down some pictures of scantily clad men that he could glimpse over her shoulder when he inevitably came to see what she was doing. Tasteful pictures, of course...
But first she looked at LiveJournal, and saw the other McCoy's post about Pike being back in his own universe. Without Spock.
The fuck? Tina immediately queried the computer for the location of Christopher Pike.
"Admiral Pike is loca-"
"The other one," Tina interrupted. "Captain Christopher Pike of the ISS Enterprise."
She was talking to herself more than to the computer, having already bypassed the voice-activated query system and gone straight to the faster-to-navigate text interface. Pike wasn't on board. Spock still was.
Tina didn't bother sending any messages. If Spock was in any condition to receive them, she knew the stubborn bastard would ignore her, having made a point of ending their association. But she was pretty sure he wouldn't be up to checking for messages anyway. And if he was in bad shape...
Well, asking McCoy to check on him was obviously out, given how Spock had reacted to him before. And Tina didn't think he'd do well with any of the rest of the medical staff, with his general horror of sickbay.
It wasn't much of a decision. She grabbed a medkit and went straight to his and Pike's quarters.
When he didn't answer the door after a solid minute of pounding and shouting, Tina took a deep breath, activated her medical override, and stepped inside.
