The Starship Enterprise
#1 Our Captain
Part 4~ Away Team
The planet was just as uninviting as it was the last time he was there. Trees covered the landscape, most of them laking any beauty or use. The captain's expression rarely changed. If it did it was for the worse, not the better. His away team consisted of Spock, Sulu, and McCoy. For some reason Jim had an instinct that bringing his medical advisor along would be vital.
"Captian, a carrier is heading this way. Perhaps it is the negotiators." Spock said and turned his attention to a noise that was so faint to him, he was sure no one else had heard it.
In no time Spock's hearing proved helpful as he warned the team before a huge rock landed right in there perivious location.
Jim sighed and looked to the carrier that did in fact carry other negortiators.
"The sooner we can get this over with the sooner we can get off this wasteland."
Spock was about to comment on behalf of the planet when he saw something in his commanding officers eyes that was cold, distant, and hateful. Holding back his comment he simply got into the carrier and rode to the reserved spot.
~*~
If it was boring on the Enterprise, it was boring enough for, well, a Vulcan.
In Dr. McCoy's perspective.
Spock, however, was listening intently to the negotiations as well as Sulu. Jim however seemed lost in a world he created in his mind. This made the doctor sigh. If these negotiations could only entertain a Vulcan, and a crazy guy who plays with swards, Bones was in trouble.
"Those all sound like very resonable laws prime minister, but I fail to see the benefits."
Spock was talking on the behalf of the Federation. Jim was supposed to be, but he was lost in a dream world for some crazy reason. And only he knew what he was thinking.
"Perhaps if the taxes went more to the people or the peoples needs they would be more tolerable." Sulu said, looking at Spock. The Vulcan nodded and that made Sulu quite proud of himself.
"Precisely what I am tring to say. If all the taxes keep going to this 'man of the people' we will not have it." The Negotiator for the People of Nauren-2 spoke up for one of the first times.
"Well good. Is this settled then?"
All eyes went to Captain Kirk as he stood and nodded to the rest of his officers.
"We still need the document signed." The prime minister said and handed it to Kirk.
He tentively looked to Spock, who nodded. Signing the document James T. Kirk, the team said there formal goodbys and left the building. Fighting had stopped at word that negotiations were in progress. When the people found out about the result a loud cheer sounded throughout the city.
"Captain, perhaps you should let Dr. McCoy check you over." Spock said, making Jim look at him. "If you are feeling pain, perhaps it's something that needs medical attention."
A very unusual sound came from the captain. A laugh, but it wasn't really out of humor.
"No Mr. Spock. I am not feeling any pain, at least none you would be aware of."
McCoy looked at Spock. He didn't know what he was expecting, but if he was a total human being, he would expect a flinch of an emotional hit.
"Captain is there anything that I can help you with? Even if it's not medical?" McCoy asked coutiously.
"No."
It was quick and right to the point. McCoy didn't push the subject.
Suddenly gunfire sounded and the team took cover. A huge man approached Jim and punched him, Spock was quick to notice and silently scolded himself for not preventing it. Placing his fingers on appropriate nerve endings, the man fell unconscious.
Jim looked up at Spock who already has his back turned, phaser in hand, looking out for his fellow crew members. Sulu did the same as McCoy looked for a patch for a gashing cut on his captains head, caused by the large fellow. As the scene unfolded in front of him, Jim felt himself being transported back to the Enterprise.
"Captian are you able to stand?" Spock asked, once safely aboard the starship.
"Yes." He said accepting the hand his first officer extended.
~*~
Spending as little time as he could in sickbay, Jim left for his room in order to give a report he had no buisness giving. A blanck screen sat in front of him for a long time as he sat there thinking about Nauren-2. Negotiations were all but over. Just because Jim signed the document on behalf of the federation didnt mean all was well. Memories of the last time he was there came back full force and that made him wonder and be amazed at his crews loyalty. Perhaps trust could form. Perhaps not. He gave trust a try once, and rarely does it get a second chance.
