Spock blinked and turned away from the Captains door as it slid shut and once again continued down the halls of the Enterprise towards sick bay. His thoughts were muddled and confused what exactly had happened to the Captain moments ago? He had felt the Captains emotions clam and warm as the generally were in his presence when it turned cold and almost vicious, he had not felt these things from the Captain before and he found this to be very disturbing. The way these feelings had moved brought to mind the cold and contemplated emotions of another man. Spocks hand clenched at this realization his knuckles turning white, those thoughts, Jims thoughts had reminded him of Khan.
Back in his quarters Jim slept peacefully without any dreams plaguing his mind and he would have slept much longer if a call from Startfleet headquarters hadn't pierced the blissful darkness that had enveloped him. Groaning he rolled out of bed and dragged himself over to his desk. Taking a breath Jim clicked the answer button that rested beside his holoscreen.
"Admiral Clark, to what do I owe this pleasure at such a early hour" Kirk said tilting his head slightly examining the other mans face that was currently set in a deep frown.
"Captain Kirk, forgive me" Admiral Clark paused looking around Kirks quarters "Your First Officer hasn't arrived yet"? he inquired frown deepening.
"My First Officer"?
"I again apologize Captain, I contacted him first and he said he would head immediately to your quarters, unfortunately this message requires both of you to be present" as Clark spoke a buzz was heard from the door Spock had arrived.
"Come" Kirk said glancing back as his First Officer strode into the room one hand clutching his PADD and the other throwing up the traditional Vulacn salute as he moved to stand be kind Kirk at the holoscreen.
"Admiral" he said inclining his head slightly.
"Now that both of you are here we can continue" Clark said taking a breath. "I am aware that your current mission requires you to be in the Nephron system to survey some of the planets there but Starfleet has received some disturbing news. I'm afraid gentleman, that the man known to us as Khan has escaped with his crew".
"What"?! Jim blurted body tensing up at the mere mention of Khans name. "Are you telling me that one of the most dangerous men we have ever encountered is free again and this time he has his crew with him too"
"Yes and what's more is he, well he left a message for you both" Clark said clicking a few buttons and soon the screen was over taken by darkness. The screen flickered and Khan appeared to be fiddling with some controls. Khan stepped back, hands clasped behind him and smirk firmly plastered onto his face.
"Hello James" he said smirk growing into a full-blown grin. "By now you will have been informed that our crew and I have departed the rooms that Starfleet was kindly allowing us to rest in." Khan paused his blue eyes staring directly into the camera.
"And this is me informing you James that I'm coming to collect you, to bring you back to where you belong, Oh and don't think I have forgotten you Mr. Spock" Khan said grin disappearing quickly as though even the thought of speaking to Spock had placed a bade taste in his mouth.
"If you even contemplate trying to stop me I will destroy you from the inside out, I will crush what you care for most and I will end you". Khan said eyes cold his posture ridged as he addressed the Vulcan though that soon slipped away as his grin slowly appeared on his face again. "And with that I bid you farewell for now James" Khan said as the screen once again faded into darkness and Admiral Clarks face appeared once more looking grimmer than ever.
"As you can see Captain, Khan is back and it would seem he has a grudge against your First Officer and ahem well an obsession with you"
Jim sighed and passed a weary hand over his eyes this was not the news he had needed today, not now not after months of dreams that were filled with Khan and not now after what had just happened only hours ago. Thoughts buzzed through his head what if what Khan said in his dream had been true what if he was becoming one of them. Jim's thoughts paused when he felt a hand resting gently on his shoulder. Jim glanced up his eyes meeting Spock and Spock nodded slightly as though to reassure his Captain.
"So what do you propose we do Clark, you know as well as I that there is no way of stopping these men now " Kirk said brow furrowing as he started to contemplate a multitude of ideas that could possibly get the federation out of this mess.
"Well Captain it would seem that Khan is headed your way, in his message to you it was to collect you but Starfleet was hoping that you could negotiate with him"
"Pardon" Kirk said brows raised in disbelief.
" What you said earlier is correct Captain we have no way of stopping these men without a confrontation but Khan seems to have an unusual attachment to you Captain and we believe that he may listen to you. There is a planet in Nephron system that would be suitable for a meeting. According to our data Khans ship should arrive at the system within a few days and when he does arrive your mission is to get him to agree to stay out of federation space, is that understood"
Kirk nodded eyes wide, how the hell was he supposed to get Khan to agree to anything but nonetheless he agreed and after a quick salute the call was over.
