The non sequitur is as shocking as the next disturbing fact. For a split second, Jim doesn't know whether he's asleep or living in a twisted hell.

During the quiet hours with the lights down low, he passed random crewmen in the corridors. Different species, genders, and customs were represented here. A slice of the Federation.

"What happened?" he asked Sulu, inspecting the pitiful plant.<br /><br />The helmsman crossed his arms and leaned casually against the counter the pot was sitting on.

In fact, it's not all that slow. Just an extra second or two added to the response time, barely enough to be noticeable. He double checks the maintenance schedule and verifies no diagnostics are being run. If there isn't anything <i>planned</i> that's causing delay, maybe there's something <i>unplanned</i>. <br /><br />He opens a comm channel. "Spock.

He bolts from behind the wall and races toward Spock who's laying face down in the dirt. An eruption of phaser fire explodes behind him and he knows instinctively his men are covering him. He rolls Spock onto his back, thrusts both hands under this shoulders, and begins to drag him desperately back to safety.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_ordinarylife&ditemid=13820" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://no-ordinarylife.dreamwidth.org/13820.html ota oneword public 0 https://no-ordinarylife.dreamwidth.org/13359.html Sun, 13 Nov 2016 21:07:56 GMT https://no-ordinarylife.dreamwidth.org/13359.html It always began the same way with that stupid vein in his forehead.

It's been months since the crew assembled in the lounge and the newest ship to bear the name Enterprise is almost ready for her initial test flights. The deep seated anticipation has driven him back to work. It's the only way to keep himself sane. There are people he wants to see before his time at Yorktown is over. Amara is at the top of his list. He secretly hopes he can convince her the next five years would be worth her while. <br /><br />He arrives with not just one, but two, bottles of tequila.
