CHAPTER 2: THAT SENSE OF ENTERPRISE
James T. Kirk and his first officer Spock were joined by the ship's CMO immediately after he checked on their new passengers. Bones wasn't particularly fond of these sorts of things whenever the future is about to change or when everyone onboard is in danger, he simply did not agree with some of Jim's tactics and certainly disagreed with Spock's logic. He was sensible, and yet at times arrogant and demanding especially towards his patients who are uncomfortable during physicals which he held everyday. Jim offered Bones to sit next to him while Spock stood still. Spock on the other hand was unemotional and stoic even when under pressure, he was very good at hiding it. He was a great friend and a loyal first officer as what both Jim and Bones would say themselves although the doctor would not admit it. The arrival of six teenagers was what they were here for to discuss.
"Bones have you checked them out yet?" Jim asked his Medical Officer as he turned sideways in his chair.
"I have and they're healthy enough." The doctor replied and sighed heavily. "Listen Jim, I'm sick and tired of these 'we're going to change the future.' As much as Spock's logic but I'll do my best to keep them calm for as long as I can." He added, as he rose up from the chair and headed for the doors.
"Wait Bones!" Jim called and approached him. "Spock's got something to tell you." He turned to his first officer to speak. The captain hated delivering bad news to the doctor ever since the missions would eventually turn into havoc, this time he was going to have to let Spock deliver the news since he knew the Vulcan wouldn't mind having to argue with McCoy.
"Lt. Uhura received frequencies from a Klingon bird-of-prey. Starfleet contacted us just minutes ago after the new passengers beamed up; this bird-of-prey had already destroyed one of our starships, and tells us to be on the look out and wait for orders." Spock said while McCoy sighed once again. 'Oh, don't mind the Medical Officer' he said to himself. Bones turned for the door without a word while Kirk and Spock who raised an eyebrow followed him.
"Spock you better check on those kids later." Jim said to his Vulcan friend who looked at him and stopped on his tracks.
"But Jim…" Before he could give a reply he was cut off by the captain.
"Just check on them, Spock." He said with softness in his voice. "I know that your heart is located where your kidney is, but you'll never know that it's good for that cold Vulcan heart of yours." Jim said as they went their separate ways.
Head Nurse Christine Chapel engaged in a conversation with the gang who were hanging loosely in sickbay, they stared at her as she spoke. Jude thought that she was the blue fairy because of her hair and the way the fairy was described in his favourite book Pinocchio and she was very beautiful too. Caitlin on the other hand was jealous of her skin that glowed; it wasn't too dark and too light. Jonesy thought that she was like a mother because of the shape of her face. Jen and Nikki like Jonesy thought the same and Wyatt loved listening to her voice. Christine noticed that she was being stared at by the gang and she stopped.
"Why did you stop?" Wyatt asked pouring himself another cup of coffee.
"You were staring at me." She said uneasily.
"You were talking so we had to look at you." Nikki replied with a point.
Suddenly, Bones burst into the room and then approached them briskly. Christine rose up from the chair where she sat as the gang gave way for her. The two medical professionals entered the CMO's office.
"What do you think is going on?" Jen asked as she fished out her comb.
"I...don't know, but we better find out soon." Jonesy replied placing his hand on his chin.
"I don't like this." Caitlin said putting on some foundation. Jonesy headed for the door.
"Fine, be losers without any sense of adventure. I'll see myself out." He said and was immediately stopped by the others.
"Okay fine you win!" Wyatt said, spilling his cup of coffee. They looked at each other. "Let's get out of here before they get back!" He added as they hurried out of sickbay.
Spock checked his watch and excused himself from the bridge to check on the gang. He did not like the very idea of Jim telling him what to do and what's good for his Vulcan heart, but what could he do maybe Jim was right, maybe he needed a break from all the analyzing and getting beaten up by Klingons and Romulans and himself. He entered the lift and had a hint that there was something going on.
The hall was filled with Starfleet personnel on their way to their shifts. The womanizer Jonesy stared at one of the girls in blue who had steel green eyes that matched her brunette hair. The personnels did not notice them and the gang once again moved to the other end of the hall where the turbolift was. They had no idea how it worked since they were not listening to the captain when they rode it the first time. The gang entered and found buttons which they recalled were like the ones in elevators.
"Eny…mini…miny..moe. Here this one's the right button." Jude said about to push one of the buttons.
"Jude don't!" They shouted and he stopped.
Intro:
Life begins after school, that's when we bend all the rules.
time to hang with all my friends!
We like to be together in a place where we belong!
I'm sixteen starting to find my way got a new job gonna start at the mall today,
Thank God I'm on my own for the first time!
I'm sixteen life is sweet when you're growing up so fast.
You gotta make the good times last.
I'm sixteen (sixteen)
You gotta make the good times last.
And in the blink of an eye their minds began to think of something they always wanted to do in the mall. The gang looked at each other and grinned; exchanging looks. Jen broke out from her bossy attitude and spoke first.
"Who ever press the most buttons wins!" She said and they all began pressing the buttons.
"I win!" Jude exclaimed.
"No I did!"
"I always win."
They argued as to who won for a second as the turbolift began to go up and then down and with turbo speed that the gang was uncertain weather they would survive the ride. Jen reacted.
"I shouldn't have told you guys to do that!"
"Jen I know you had a crush on Jonesy when we were in fourth grade." Nikki told her after they have read Jen's journal and embarrassing her by reading it to the customers at the mall weeks ago.
"This is not the time to talk about it now Nikki!" She replied and the turbolift stopped and they hit the floor as the doors opened.
A man who was about 6'1 tall appeared before them, his face wasn't clear enough for them to see him properly after the gang was knocked down to the floor. He cleared his throat.
"Children, are you alright?" He asked them calmly.
Jude looked up and remembered this man from the transporter room.
"I know you." Jude said as he picked himself up and his skateboard.
The gang got up from the floor and fortunately none of them were hurt enough to send them to sickbay.
"Do you?" The man asked in his deep voice.
"Yeah! You're that guy Mr. Speck!" Jude replied and stepped out of the turbolift followed by the gang.
"I remember! It's not Mr. Speck, Jude!" Wyatt said, the neck of his guitar was broken and he was desperately trying to put them back together again. "Awww…man!"
"Right, it's actually Mr. Spack isn't it?" Nikki asked trying to take a guess, her nose ring still in tact as Spock raised an eyebrow.
"You may call me Mr. Spock." The Vulcan said and turned his head to Jonesy, Jen and Caitlin to see if they were alright. Wyatt was at loss knowing that his guitar would never be put back together again.
"Awww…Wyatt, we'll buy you another one." Jen said to her friend who was about to cry. He remembered the time when he played their friendship song during the auditions at the mall.
"I could fix it if you'd like?" Spock asked the young musician who gave no reply. "Walk this way." He went inside the turbolift, his hands on his back and the gang also put their hands on their backs and followed him.
They arrived in Spock's quarters after a few brief moments of riding the turbolift. The gang stopped on their tracks in amazement, it was so neat and organized and it was warm, they can't remember a single day when their rooms were this clean with the exception of Jen of course. Nikki was about to touch one of the bronze sculptures place in the coffee table when Spock stopped her.
"Don't touch anything, hands on your pockets please." He said and turned to Nikki. "This was given to me by my mother years ago." He added as he picked up the surreal sculpture.
Wyatt spotted Spock's Vulcan lyre and the first officer notice the musician looking at it.
"Would you like to play it?" He asked Wyatt who was speechless. "Go ahead." He picked up the lyre and handed it to him as though presenting a special gift. Wyatt received it and tuned the instrument but before he could pluck its strings he was interrupted by the communications officer.
"Red alert! Red alert! There are Klingons aboard the ship, all duty personnel are advised to set their phasers to stun." Uhura said from the speakers as sirens began. "Mr. Spock you are required on the bridge." She added.
Spock approached the speaker that he placed on his table. "Spock here, I'm on my way." He replied and opened his drawer. The gang was confused 'what the heck are Klingons?' and why was the Vulcan acting so desperate. Spock fished out three items, two phaser rifles and two type 2 phasers. He handed the phaser rifles to Jonesy and Nikki and one of the phasers to Jude. They stared at him in disbelief almost as though there was no way that he would return soon.
"This is a phaser." He said to them. "Now set them to stun, just turn that once to the right and you're all set." Spock added and went for the doors.
"Wait! What's happening?" Jonesy asked curiously.
"We're being attacked." He replied shortly and turned his attention to all of them. "Listen to me, don't go out and search for me if I do not return, do not leave this place." He said to them, pressing a combination on the security system and left.
The gang was frightened now as there were loud screams heard in the halls accompanied by loud bangs on the walls that grew louder and louder and then stopped. Jude held on to the phaser with his skateboard under his arm while Nikki and Jonesy's rifle phasers were about to slip off their sweaty hands. Caitlin started to cry silently as Jen comforted her. Wyatt put down the lyre and picked up his guitar positioned himself in a batting stance. They did not know how to protect themselves although they were already given weapons.
"Quick! Hide somewhere!" Jen said as they went into hiding.
Jonesy and Nikki hid behind Spock's two individual large chairs. Caitlin and Jen behind the desk and Wyatt near the door while Jude stood behind the plants in the corner near Wyatt. There was another bang and another. 'This fight has just begun.' Jonesy said to himself breathing heavily. Jude was sweating and Wyatt's hearbeat was beyond average. Caitlin stopped crying while Jen looked at her friends faces, she too was determined to sacrifice herself for them.
