Author's Notes: This is a series of drabbles originally posted as three separate stories, titled Perfect Storm, Stormwrack, and Storm Shelter.
Part 1: Perfect Storm
A routine mission. No way to have predicted that we'd be stranded for two days.
It was quite a storm. The sky came alive with dancing light and streaming clouds like nothing on Earth--a seductive alien aurora.
T'Pol's report says a surplus of highly charged particles probably caused hallucinogenic effects...and lowered inhibitions to damn near zero on a scale of one to ten.
"I apologize for my behaviour, Captain. It was inappropriate. I assure you it won't happen again."
Damn. "I'm sorry too, Malcolm." Because it won't happen again.
The sky looked different after the storm...hollow...bereft.
