I don't own Star Trek, if i did, Spock would be mine. *sighs*
anyway, have fun with this chap!
When I boarded the Enterprise, I could hear the chief engineer, Mr. Scott, whining about the acidity of sea water on his ship. But I didn't let anything slow me down as I raced for the bridge to start scanning Spock for vitals And location.
I nearly slammed myself into his chair, jamming a new comm into my ear and adjusting the sensors. Uhura was already attempting to get a connection reestablished with him, and the Captain had just boarded, arriving in the airlock.
The Captain was quickly on the bridge, And giving orders relating to connecting with Spock. I was too busy monitoring the volcano to pay close attention, but I did hear Spock's voice say that the device had been activated. I sighed briefly in the knowledge that he was still alive, but the monitors in front of me told me that unless we did something, he wouldn't be for long.
I heard the Captain and Spock arguing over something, and I decided to concentrate on getting a good reading on his location, instead of getting involved. It seemed that every time I got a reading on his position, the magnetic field changed, and I lost his signal again. I mentally cheered Uhura for keeping his comm connected for so long. But my mind was to preoccupied to do anything of the sort. I was having a hard time concentrating through the blur that was my vision.
"This is your life we're talking about!" Kirk shouted.
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Spock said. I had heard that line many times before. Vulcan history had required me to memorize it, and its meaning. My vision went from simply blurry to useless.
I heard the Captain issuing orders, but none of them pertained to me, and I didn't really care. I was in no shape to do anything at all important.
I heard the Captain speaking to Chekov about beaming Spock aboard now that we were airborne. Wait, airborne? What about the Prime Directive? Surely the Captain wasn't going to break a rule you learned in your first year of the Acadamy?
It seemed that he was. We were hovering over the mouth of the volcano, and my sensors were going nuts. If the devise did not go off in its scheduled ten seconds, the volcano would erupt and we would all be dead.
The device went off, and time stood still for me, thouth the flurry of activity around me never ceased. My monitors showed the device succesful, And the transporter being used. When the transporter finished, I contacted the Captain.
"Is Commader Spock alright?" I asked.
Kirk replied with An affirmative, And I sighed as I responded, "Then will you please let him know that the devise has detonated successfuly. Turner out."
I yanked the comm out of my ear, leaned back in the chair, and sighed, closing my eyes. I didn't know how much longer I could handle keeping my emotions under caps.
I know how stupid emotions can be. They are no fun.
:D next chapter will be the last one i wrote at the Grand Canyon
