Time Lapse: 1 day
Maeve's POV
"This session has been called to resolve a troubling matter. James T. Kirk please step forward." Everyone in the room including me watched as a confused Kirk stepped up to the podium. "Cadet Kirk, evidence has been submitted to this council suggesting that you violated the ethical code of conduct pursuant to Regulation 17.43 of the Starfleet code. Is there anything you care to say before we begin, sir?" The head of the council asked. Dumbass. I thought.
"Yes, I believe I have the right to face my accuser directly." Kirk stated. Everyone turned to look at a Vulcan stand up and approach the other podium. Oh damn. That is a fine piece of man right there. Maeve thought while biting her lower lip wth satisfaction.
"This is commander Spock. He is one of our most distinguished graduates. He's programmed the Kobayashi Maru exam for the last four years. Commander?"
"Cadet Kirk, you somehow managed to install and activate a subroutine in the programming code, thereby changing the conditions of the test." Spock stated. Everyone looked to Kirk.
"Your point being?" Kirk asked. The case went on and Kirk was informed of the meaning of the test. Suddenly a man walked in and gave something to the council. Fear and anxiety engulfed my body. The head of the council looked at it then told all cadets to report to Hangar One immediately. He dismissed us and all the cadets piled out through the doors.
We all stood waiting to be appointed to a ship.
"Wynter, USS Enterprise. McCoy, USS Enterprise." The man went on calling names. I tuned out after that. Yes! I am with Bones! I thought excitedly. He dismissed us and we all ran to our stations. I turned to find McCoy following Kirk who was following the man giving out assignments. I turned and headed to the ship that would take us to the Enterprise.
I got on board and was amazed. I walked down the hallways slowly taking it all in. "Woah." I said breathlessly. I found my way to the Medical bay and quickly made myself comfortable. I got changed into some white clothes and started helping out where I could. I ran to the elevator door when I heard it opening expecting to find someone else that needed help. I was right but it was someone I didn't want to see. I looked in shock as McCoy brought in Kirk. He looked awful. I watched as he put Kirk on one of the examining tables. I watched while he gave Kirk an injection and chuckled when he fell back asleep. I rushed to McCoy.
"Hey. What's up with him? He wasn't supposed to be here. What did you do?" I asked confused and angry. He muttered something about him giving him something to make him sick so he could bring him on board. "You're unbelievable Bones." I crossed my arms as he got to work trying to fix him up. I offered to help but he said he was fine. I left and helped out with someone else.
"May I have your attention, please?" A voice came on. I listened as I worked. "At 2200 hours, telemetry detected an anomaly in the Neutral Zone. What appeared to be a lightening storm in space. Soon after, Starfleet received a distress signal from the Vulcan High Command that their planet was experiencing seismic activity." Weird… "Our mission is to assess the condition of Vulcan and assist in evacuations if necessary. We should be arriving at Vulcan within three minutes. Thank you for your time." The boy's voice was gone. There is something wrong. I can feel it. I ignored the feeling though and continued working.
Not even a minute after the report ended Kirk woke up and started freaking out. He replayed the transmission then ran out of the Medical bay followed closely by Bones.
I fell as the ship started to move around. I got my balance quickly and looked around in wonder. Everyone else was doing the same. Suddenly an explosion could be heard and the ship rocked. I fell and hit my head on one of the tables. I grabbed my head and felt a warm liquid. Crap! I hurriedly put a bandage on it and looked around to see if anyone was hurt.
McCoy ran in here. "The Medical bay next door was hit. I need a couple people to help me get the injured in here." Bones said it quickly, his voice was filled with authority. A couple other doctors and I followed him next door. A horrible sight it was. The ceiling had fallen in some places and you could see people limp arms and legs from beneath them. The doctors spread out to help. I was frozen with shock. McCoy's voice brought me to.
"It's McCoy. Dr. Puri was on Deck 6. He's dead." He's dead! Oh my god… "Yeah, tell me something I don't know." He then ran from the monitor to someone. "Mae, help me get this guy." I ran to him and grabbed the man by his feet. He was unconscious but ok. We took him next door to be taken care of. We did that until everyone was out.
