Chapter 3: The Naked Time part 1
"Captain's Log:
Our positions, Orbiting PSI 2000, An Ancient world, Now a Frozen Wasteland, About to rip apart In its death throes. Our Mission, Pick up a scientific party below,Observe the disintegration of the planet."
"You called for me Captain?" Leilani said
She stood on the bridge looking at Kirk, She was called out from her office for no specific reason. She felt a little nervous thinking that she wasn't doing her job the way that he expected.
"Yes,Counselor."Kirk said giving her a friendly smile. "I've asked you here so that once they beam up the scientific party below that you'll Examine them on their mental health after Bones is done examining them first."
"Alright,Captain."Leilani said
Kirk smiled flirtatiously at Leilani, she shook her head at him and gave him a small smile. "Captain, keep those thoughts to yourself." Leilani smirked
"They're my thoughts counselor."Kirk said"Why were you reading my thoughts just now?"
"I was curious."Leilani admitted
"Curious about what?"He asked
Before Leilani could even say anything they heard a buzzing sound.
Spock here. Do you read,Enterprise?
"Kirk, Affirmative."Kirk answered
All station personnel dead.
"What caused it?"He asked
Unknown,Captain. It's like nothing we've dealt with before.
Leilani was stunned at the news, she looked at Kirk.
"That is very strange."Leilani said "All scientific party dead..can it be something on that planet?"
"I don't know Counselor, We might have a problem on our hands."Kirk said
"Captain, i better go now i have to check on a few of the crew members."Leilani said "If you need anything give me a call."
"Thank you, counselor."Kirk said
Leilani made her way to the turbolift, She hoped that Spock and the crewmen are okay that whatever killed those people didn't harm them.
The last few months have been nice for her, a few people still tried to get used to her betazoid nature. She manage to be good friends with Uhura and a few others. Captain Kirk was being friendlier to her as usual, she got used to his flirtatious ways. Spock and her ended up meeting whenever their schedules are free to play chess or talk. She wondered if Spock was free today to practice the harp with her, they've been doing that lately ever since she showed him the old earth violin and played a tune.
Once Leilani made her way to her office only to receive a message from the captain to report to sickbay to check up on Spock and the crewmen.
"You're fine Joe."Bones said after looking at the screen. "Up and out there."
Joe nodded and got off the bed. Allowing Spock to get on while Leilani observed to see if there was something odd.
"Your pulse is 242. Your blood pressure is practically nonexistent, assuming you call that green stuff in your veins blood." Bones said
"The readings are perfectly normal for me, doctor, Thank you."Spock said "And as for my anatomy being different from yours, I am delighted."
'Nothing unusual coming from Spock, hes the same as always.' she thought Leilani couldn't help but glance at Joe's behavior. He kept rubbing his arm.
"Are you okay Joe?"Leilani asked
"I'm fine, just a little shaken up."Joe said at that moment Kirk walked through the door.
"Captain."Spock said
"How are they?"Kirk asked
"They're fine,Jim."Bones said
"Terrible captain."Joe spoke up."They were just sitting like they didn't care. Whatever was happening, They didn't care. I keep wondering..."
"You keep wondering if man was meant to be out here."Kirk said "You keep wondering, you keep signing on."
Joe nodded in agreement, Leilani stared at Joe for some odd reason she felt his mix emotions, something that wasn't right. "Any guesses?"
"Any idea what happened down there?"Kirk asked
"I wish i could say captain, The circumstances were quite bizarre, How ever our records tapes may show us something."Spock said
"Six dead."Joe described. "Six people dead."
Kirk and Leilani noticed him shaking.
"You better get some rest."Kirk said
"Yes, sir."Joe said
Leilani sensed mixed emotions of sadness,guilt,despair,anger that got her worried about him.
"Why don't we go to my office and have a talk?"Leilani asked
"No! I don't want to talk to you!"Joe grunted "I don't want you reading my mind! You...you..."
Joe walked away in anger. 'Anger a lot of it...I'll give him some time until he comes around, i don't want to force him.' She thought
"Are you-"
"I'm fine Captain, That's normal behavior I've seen it in a few of my patients. Just give him some time and he'll come to my office when he feels ready."Leilani said
Kirk nodded and turn to spock. "Set up those tapes, ."Kirk said "We'll see if the answers are on there."
After Kirk and Spock left, Leilani was deep in thought.
"Leilani?" Bones said
"Oh, sorry doctor."Leilani said "I better go and help them with the tapes, something like this is interesting yet a bit odd at the same time."
"I'll go with you."Bones said
Captain Kirk,Spock,Scotty,Leilani,Bones and Yeoman Rand all met in the main briefing room to discuss of the current situation. Spock played the tapes of what they saw for all to see. The staff was shocked to see was what going on. Leilani could feel the worry in the entire room.
"Next tape, please."Spock said
"Spectro-Analysis Tape, sir."Yeoman Rand said handing the tape to Spock.
He played the tape and everyone saw the contents of it.
"Almost as though they were Irrational,Drugged."Kirk said "An engineer sitting there apparently oblivious to everything. A woman strangled, A crewman with a phaser pistol in his hand."
"He used the computer room as if it were an amusement gallery."Spock said
"A fully clothe man frozen to death in the shower."Kirk said "If the image wasn't so so ugly, it'd be laughable."
"Not even a theory?" He asked
"Definitely not drugs or Intoxication."Mccoy said "The bioanalysis on the tapes prove that conclusively."
"I've checked their previous records if any like this happened before and i found nothing, that remotely relates to this case."Leilani said"It's something that possibly hasn't been discovered."
"It could be some form of space madness we've never heard of, But it would have to be caused by something."Spock said "Our spectro-readings showed no contamination, No unusual elements present."
"Or at least none Your Tricorders could register."Scotty said.
"Instruments register only those things. They're designed to Register."Spock argued "Space still contains Infinite Unknowns."
"Earth science needs the closest possible measurements of the break up of this planet."Kirk said "To do this we need the Enterprise in a critically tight orbit. Question. Could what happened down there to those people, could create an unusual danger to this vessel and crew? "
"We will need top efficiency, Captain."Spock said "It'll be a tricky orbit. When the planet begins to go, There may be drastic changes, in gravity mass,Magnetic fields."
"The purpose of this briefing is to get answers, based on your abilities and experience."Kirk said "In a critical orbit, There's no time for surprise."
"Unless you people on the bridge start taking showers your clothes on, my engines can pull us out of anything."Scotty said "We'll be warping out of orbit within half a second off getting your command."
Before anyone could say anything else, an announcement was made.
"Bridge to captain."Uhura interrupted
"Kirk here."He sighed
"Scanners report sudden four degree shift in planet magnetic field."Uhura said "A change in mass also,Sir."
"It's beginning."Spock said understanding what Uhura said. "Unusually rapids shifts."
"On our way lieutenant."Kirk said over at the intercom."I'll hold you off to that half second, Scotty."
The crew ran back to the bridge but Leilani couldn't shake the feeling off of Joe from his earlier behavior. She decided to see if he was alright and hope that he was feeling a bit calmer maybe enough to talk to her. After all that is her job.
