[the video clip clicks on to a sideways angle of Kirk's face. he's holding the communicator up, but it's less to show what's going on and more so that he can speak into it. he's crouched down, though, and you can almost see what's going on.

he's facing a figure and from the sharp cut of his black hair you can tell it's Spock next to him with his head bowed forward, collapsed and kneeling with both of his hands on the wall. Jim's eyes are wide with worry and tension, half bent forward with one hand on the other man's back.]

——are two. Anger... More than... more than...

Come on, Spock, stay with me buddy——

I need medical assistance to the ninth floor hallway of the passenger decks, and I need it now!

[Jim's voice is authoritative and clipped, leaving no room for argument and making it clear this is a crisis situation. if he was going to say something else, he's completely derailed when Spock starts slumping to the left.]

Spock!

[Kirk drops his communicator next to his knee and scrambles forward, grabbing at the Vulcan's broad shoulders and moving so that he ends up half sprawled with his head in Jim's lap.]

Bones, I need you!

[his voice is raised at the communicator he can no longer reach; it isn't panic, but it's definite distress. honestly, he doesn't care which doctor gets here first, as long as someone hustles their ass up here.]






[ooc: Kirk & Spock c: anyone from the Enterprise can assume they knew that Spock was going to mind meld with the ship but nobody else will have known! also this is open to action.]

[assumed]

[ Spock, are you... dying?

You're very interesting. Alias isn't sure how it feels other than it wanted to know more.

It might just make a trip up there to see what's going on, as someone else, but a set of eyes nonetheless. ]

Kirk -- what's happening? We're going to come up for you, but I need to know what we're dealing with. I don't see any bleeding. Has he been hit by something? Are you okay?

video forever because his communicator is far away

[Jim moves to check for Spock's pulse, and when he doesn't find it only belatedly remembers that Vulcan anatomy is totally different from his own. but the guy is still breathing, so that's a good sign.]

He- [well, Watson probably knows this aspect of Vulcan culture, since he knows shit about them otherwise.] -attempted to meld with the ship, I don't know what the hell happened.

[gothchicklit]

Jim? What happened?

[he glances up when he hears her voice, tension still creasing his expression.]

I'm not sure yet.

[excessivehubris]

Captain!

[This is definitely going to get his attention.]

Do you have aid coming to you?

Video

[goldshirt]

Charles- yeah the doctors are on their way.

[or they better well damn be they are just taking so fucking long in his opinion. but his gaze flicks up, he can't tell which one this is from here; the numbers are too far away]

Were you the one who went with Spock into the science lab?

action; for mr. scott!

[lieutenants]

[ there's a split second when Uhura tries to respond, her comm turns on, connects, but gets flicked off just as quickly, and she's running for the lift without the details of what happened, without really knowing if being there would help or hurt. she's acting on impulse, which isn't even really like her, but-

she knew what Spock was going to try to do, and with the way Kirk is reacting-

yeah, it's reason enough to run.

so she sprints for the lift, slams the button and waits, her heart pumping a million beats per second because if Spock's hurt, if the ship hurt him, it's- it's more than enough to make any amount of composure she's used to carrying vanish. just like that, a snap and it's all gone because she needs to be there, and composure won't help that endeavor at all. the doors open and one hand palms the wall after she presses the button that'll get her to nine, and she's not- she's not freaking out, that much is obvious because her expression is too hard and her posture is to straight, but she does check out for a moment, mind battling over emotions in a way that they haven't since the last time she was on the Enterprise.

she's shocked when the door opens so soon, eyes flicking over to the control panel, and she huffs when she sees she's still got a few floors to go, so why is the lift stopping, why would anyone on this whole ship need this very lift right now!? ]

action forever!

[reversedpolarity]

[Scotty too, knew what Spock was trying to do. And while he's always been of the opinion that ships are alive, in their own way, and while he's certainly got a habit of talking to the Enterprise when he thinks no one's around to overhear, there's just... Probably not much hope in mind-melding a ship.

And when this appears on his comm... He already resents this ship, just a bit, for not being the Enterprise. And now? Now she's done something to Mister Spock. Beautiful piece of machinery though this ship may be, he'll damn well tear her apart bolt by bolt if he has to. If Kirk but says the word...

But that wouldn't be a good idea, not until they figure out a way to get home. But Mister Spock. Alright, so maybe he's not as close to the commander as some people, but damn it, he's the commander.

He makes it to the nearest lift. Waits impatiently for it to reach the deck he's on. By the time the door opens he's practically bouncing with impatience. And then he stops, just as he's about to barrel in.]

Miss Uhura? What--?

[therangerking]

[ Footsteps, whee! Aragorn responds immediately to distress, even though it might not be distress that he knows how to deal with. ]

Captain. Will you tell me his condition?

[ Strange. Strange, that the leaders of this ship seem to prone to attack. ]

[the sound of Aragorn's voice is strangely like a balm, and Jim wonders briefly if that, too, is part of his magic. he takes a breath.]

He's unconscious and unresponsive but he's breathing.

[symptomatic]

[ There's a bit of fumbling when it clicks on. The references would usually have been enough for her not to take it so seriously, but genuine distress isn't easy to fake. The angle of the video is a little strange, wobbling as she all but runs, her free hand holding the end of her stethoscope to her chest. ]

Hey, is everything— Is someone on their way?

[goldshirt]

Watson's on his way up.

[and Charles, though he isn't a doctor, and possibly Aragorn.]

[faderbroderson]

What has happened?

[Do you need me? is what he's really asking.]

video;

[goldshirt]

[his gaze flicks up from his lap full of Vulcan when he hears Godric's voice. he knows the vampire could have figured out by now what was happening, so he knows that what he's asking is something different. his kneejerk, internal reaction makes him uncomfortable, the bizarre sense of need, but he squashes it.]

Only Spock was affected. [because that's what you're really asking- right?] We'll have a better idea of what's going on when the medical team gets here.

[ WELL NOW DOESN'T SULU LOOK STRESSED. ]

How bad is it?

STARFLEET ENCRYPTIONS 95%

I've never had a Vulcan pass out on me before, Mr. Sulu, so I'm not sure.

[the statement would sound sarcastic if Kirk's voice didn't verge on a laugh of disbelief.]

permavid. some hours after --

[bereth]

( -- because she figures you need your moment, kirk, with your friends, and she saw aragorn's response. he'll get there and take care of your friend :c )

Captain.

[when Jim gets back to this he's been freshly kicked out of medical, but Spock is stable and there's not much left for him to do. for some reason he hadn't expected her, of all people, to contact him, but he leans against a wall when he answers.]

Kirk here.

[anthropos]

[ You 23rd Century spacemen and your cowboy diplomacy. I mean, oh dear, poor Spock. ]

Our present understanding of the risks of Vulcan mind melds is significantly more advanced than your own, Captain. [ By which he means they have more rules and regulations stopping Vulcan officers from playing fast and loose with their own mental health. ] I will attend Doctor McCoy, with your permission.

Further mental stimulation should be avoided until the damage can be assessed, at least under uncontrolled circumstances; whatever incapacitated him may bleed through to others if unchecked.

[wait what WHAT. HE JUST TOLD CHARLES TO COME DOWN FUUU. Kirk nods, either way.]

Bleed through? That's happened before?

[consulting]

[ Considering outside of John, Spock and Jim are probably the closest thing he'll have to friends. They've known each other what eight months now? Sherlock respects the pair of them. Unfortunately. This is still Sherlock and he has the social skills of a possessed lemur. ]

Jim.
Text me coordinates + Spock's status.

SH

[ Sherlock Holmes, did, in fact just ask the people going through a crisis to text him. ]

video -> text

[goldshirt]

Yeah I'll get right on that. [Jim says dryly at the communicator, but it isn't until the medical team shows up and he's bodily shuffled out of the way of holding Spock that he gets back to the device]

We're en route to medical now.
Exact coordinates were [x,x].

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[She waits a long while to reply, because she's no maester and she doesn't know how to heal whatever it is that's got Spock slumping over. But eventually, she wants answers.]

Is a Vulcan all right?

[goldshirt]

[he's never heard much from this number before, but he doesn't keep tabs on who Spock knows, so.]

He's going to be fine.

[agent_k]

[It looks like Jim has all the help he'd need. But-] Do you need help securing the area? [Because he doesn't know how sensitive that area of the ship is supposed to be.]

[goldshirt]

No- There's nothing up here.

[not here] also late

[the_vishual]

[ Chase is going to disappear after this--quietly slip off, making no noise, no indication she knows. Because that's the problem.

She knows very well what's happening. Knew it was going to happen. And couldn't do a thing to stop the one person aboard the ship she cares about the most. ]

voice -> action

[imadoctor]

On my way.

[ The clipped message is all McCoy bothers with before he hits the halls at a run, medbag slamming against his hip as he goes. The fact that he can see how serious the situation is shows in how he doesn't even bother to bitch about idiots and Vulcans and goddamn stupid decisions.

He drops to the floor next to the two men hard enough that his knees are going to make their displeasure known later, tricorder in hand. He wants to lay a reassuring hand on Spock's shoulder, but he looks to Jim first for approval, because what they don't need now is a distressed Spock freaking out on them. ]

[goldshirt]

[Jim nods, only because nothing else has worked so far, and according to Aragorn a familiar presence might have a calming effect. still, he says nothing- to snarky remark about what took you so long; just an insistent, tense look as he waits to hear what Bones has to say.

after all, despite what anyone else could say or do, Bones was the only one who really knew how to tell. nobody else on board was working with Vulcans, after all.]

[counselling]

[ Oh, she feels that, and her expression (because yes, you deserve video for this) tells as much ]

Captain, what happened?

[goldshirt]

[the look on her face is a concern for Jim, but one thing at a time; so he answers her question.]

Spock attempted to meld with the ship, something went wrong.
