McCoy stood looking into Spocks eyes. Though he doesn't admit to showing emotions, he was obviously radiating them. Fear, anger, worry. Something had happened to get Spock in this state and the doctor had a big bet it involved the captain.

"Doctor, when we arrived the captain ordered us to split up and begin to research the plants and surroundings but to keep contact with another at all times. If any problems then to use the communicator to hail the team."

Spock sighed and sat on the edge of his bed. His hands resting unusually on his lap clasping one another in a tight grip.

"Everything was going well, Sulu and I had noted many new plant species… That's when we noticed no-one had called in so the logical thing to do was hail the team and call in. Everybody but the captain had checked in within minutes. When we tried to hail the captain we only received static."

Spock looked to the doctor, hurt in his eyes.

"I managed to trace his communicator doctor… But when I got there…"

Spock looked back down, not being able to bare showing his emotions to McCoy. What he had seen had shook him, his half human side wanted to scream out.

"It's the captain doctor… Jim… He was laying there. Against a rock, he looked dead doctor. Like when Scotty showed me him lying in the reactor chamber. He was muttering something but I couldn't make it out doctor"

McCoy looked at Spock, his heart sinking deep. Slowly he slipped into the chair.

"Well then. What is it? Get on with it Spock! I am a doctor not a mind reader!"

Instantly as Spock's face shot up to look at McCoy, McCoy instantly regretted the remark.

"Sorry Spock… I didn't mean it like that. Please continue"

Spock nodded and looked back to his hands.

"Doctor, the captain… Jim. He was shaking, we held him down and kept trying to get him to look at us but it took seven point zero three minutes. Though I am sure he was fitting doctor, he seemed to not be the same after. I tried to speak to him, I tried to mind meld but he wouldn't let me touch him to the point he pushed me back doctor "

McCoy's brain racked the information. Jim having a seizure was serious, the fact it was over three minutes worried him. Why hadn't Jim come to him?! Why would he push Spock away, they were close friends.

"Why you fool Spock! Why didn't you bring him to me? You know yourself he wouldn't come unless dragged… We have to go get him now in case he has brain damage!"

McCoy jumped up out of his chair only to meet Spock on his feet blocking the way to the door.

"What are you waiting for? I have a patient to go find and drag his sorry ass down to med bay Spock"

Spock frowned then looked at McCoy.

"You need to finish hearing me doctor, please"

The emotion waved out of Spock. His body shaking himself. His hands trembled as something washed through him. He pointed to the seat and McCoy got the order. He sat down looking at Spock hoping he would hurry up before they find Jim brain dead.

Spock slowly sat back down in his and leant forwards.

"Once the captain came round, he was refusing to have any help at all doctor. He got up and started walking towards a cave. Inside was a dead animal that I could not recognise. He admitted he hit his head but wasn't knocked out and required no attention, that he was shaking from the adrenaline from killing the beast. I had tried to… render him unconscious to bring to you when we got teleported back up but he was already out the door going up to bridge."

McCoy nodded as Spock relayed what happened. It was Jim's luck to always find trouble, but now it was his duty to go find the captain.

Rising out the chair McCoy stood once more.

"Let's find him Spock, and make sure out captain truly is okay."

Nodding Spock stood up but grabbed McCoys arm.

"Doctor… When we were about to beam up. I noticed the captain trembling with, what I would class as tremendous fear."

McCoy looked at the fear in Spock. He knew something was going on with Jim.

"I am worried doctor, finding him in that state, and the fact whenever I mention your name, or try convince or force him to med bay he's off quicker than normal. Planned each escape from it. I can't get near him doctor."

McCoy watched the emotion roll off of Spock. He quickly hushed himself and fell in step behind McCoy as they walked towards the elevator. Not once after they left the room did Spock talk. He was obviously trying to keep hushed up and calm his emotion. As the elevator doors opened McCoy walked straight to the captain's chair. Before he even realized, Jim wasn't in the chair. Instead it was Sulu.

"Sulu where is the captain"

McCoy's voice was serious and stern, He needed Jim now and he didn't want to be messed about.

"He's gone back to his quarters doctor, he ordered Scotty to be ready to beam him back to the planet alone"

McCoy turned around hot on his heels. Straight away he walked into the elevator ordering it to take him to the teleporter. If that kid had any hopes in going alone then he had something coming.
