Gosh, the title is meant to be, ''Wait…what?'', not what it is.
I apologise as I have noticed quite a few spelling errors which MS word doesn't pick up: mega un- smiley. And um….I meant to say in the end of chapter 2 that McCoy called Kirk over and he 'shushed' him. I kind of changed things around with Alfa 177, I don't know if it's a dwarf planet.
Thank you for the follows from the 3 people and the three (there was a guest review which doesn't show up) lovely reviews, I appreciate it so much!
PS. I own none of Star Trek, its characters or its content.
Chapter 3
I still have so many questions! What happened on that planet? Do I have a family? How long am I 'living' on the ship? Was I citizen? Where do I belong? I know one thing other than my name and the fact that something is wrong with me: I hate not being the person with the answers.
Spock and Lucy walked down the hallway silently. She couldn't help but admire the uniforms; to her if it meant they belonged somewhere and they had something to show it, it was cool. She wished that she had thought to ask of new clothing. ''This is fantastic, I'm walking around in those hospital bed clothes.'' She muttered, hoping that Spock would get her drift on breaking the silence. He just eyed her and carried on walking. 'Oh, I'm sorry for having to be your responsibility', she thought miserably. 'It's not my fault that my so-called home was- The moment she stopped sulking, she stopped walking. Spock turned around. She then realised he'd possibly been thinking about something else, he wasn't purposefully ignoring her. ''Is everything fine?'' he asked. She paused to think about what she was going to say. ''Not really, I'm curious to find out what happened.'' 'Vulcans don't show emotion at all, yet he gives an understanding look. But he is half- human. And I know that how?' She thought. ''A nuclear power station was unstable.'' He stated. Lucy was surprised that an unstable nuclear power station could wipe out one planet. Even if it was a dwarf planet, surely it wasn't that small? Now that her question had been answered, she thought that if she continued to discuss such a negative and depressing topic it would make him feel uncomfortable in a way. Somehow she just knew it would. ''Oh'' She said in an 'I-did-not-know-that-but-okay' voice. They started to walk again. ''So,'' she started to speak again, but decided he may think that she was a little pest who just wanted to talk. Once again he turned to her. ''I beg your pardon?'' he asked her. She didn't expect him to even pay attention to her. ''Oh, I was just thinking aloud. Sorry.'' She replied feeling more embarrassed than when in the medical bay. He looked rather amused. ''Humans tend to apologised unnecessarily.'' He said and Lucy just looked at him thoughtfully. 'That's the thing. Am I human?' She wanted to ask him. She instead just nodded and carried on walking. ''Hey, how much further do we have to walk? Not to complain or anything. This ship seems so big!'' she said with a hint of excitement in her voice. She turned around after a few seconds only to find he was not behind her. ''Uh, Mister Spock? Did I just – She was looking around anxiously and re-tracing her steps while trying not to bump into the people around her. He was standing by a door, right where she'd left him. He tilted his head slightly before telling her that she would be staying in the room. She walked to him and tried to pull open the door and after a few seconds realised that it was to be pushed after the card had been swiped. ''This is your room's card. You also have access to a few other venues, such as the cafeteria. Speaking of which, have you eaten anything yet?'' She thanked him when he gave her the card, but upon hearing about eating, she seemed confused. 'Eating? Gosh, what can I eat?' she wondered. ''I – what am I able to eat?'' He raised his eyebrow in amusement again and replied, ''you will have to look at the menu.'' She could've sworn that he was slightly smiling and squinted. ''Oh, yes. A menu.'' She said and opened her room door. The room was perfectly clean. There was a bedside table with two drawers, and she felt curiosity bite at her. ''I believe your communication device was damaged, so you are allowed to use the PADD in the drawer. We can always replace it.'' She smiled. ''Are you giving it to me? Thank you for your consideration.'' He nodded (which she assumed was his way of acknowledging her gratitude or another way to say 'you're welcome') and gestured for her to enter the room. ''If you would like to find anything, you can alert the staff with your PADD.'' She thanked him before he went on his way.
When Spock was gone, Lucy flopped onto the bed and opened the drawer. She felt around in the drawer for the PADD and took it out. But when she switched it on it gave her a bit of a shock. ''Ow!'' she exclaimed and shook her finger around. She tried again and waited. 'Installing personal settings. Configuring PADD. Please wait.' A voice which Lucy assumed was the PADD's said. What- She stopped and stared. The desktop had hundreds of folders on it, each with names of people on the ship. She was able to tell when she saw a folder called 'Spock'. There was even a second screen which she flipped to. ''Personal settings, Preference… Manufacturing info.'' She stopped and tapped on it. There was a detail page.
Name: D.E.A.D
Origin: Alfa 177
Manufacturing date: 2362 54
Creator: Lugricitium
She ignored the rest of the information and re-read the first four lines over and over again until she understood what it all meant.
Lucy was not Lucy, and she definitely was not human.
I love writing, and right now I can't wait to write more! I hope you're enjoying reading as much as I am writing. xx
