Nightshift 42: M-C Block Hallway

((From here.))The flashlight beam cut through the darkness, but there appeared to be no obstacles obstructing his path. There were no signs of life, either, outside of the fact that someone had obviously built the structure he was currently in. He wouldn't have initially believed he was the only one being kept here, and unless he'd been the only ( Read more... )

There was not a single sign of life in here, either. Not a sound or smell in one of the other hallways. Only his own breathing and the sound of his footsteps upon the floor. This was certainly odd; who knew how long the night had been underway already?

He headed for the door on his left and slipped into the next hallway.

Hmph. Just as expected, there truly was nothing in this hallway, aside from more identical doors leading into identical rooms. Mind games then, was it? Not a soul to find, nothing lurking within the dark, just silence and blank, white walls.

The path eventually diverged at the end of the hall, one half leading to more hallways and more rooms, one door leading into the facilities, and the other... oh boy. Another empty hallway.

He was wrong; his captors were not attempting to frighten him. They were attempting to bore him. It was working. Even still, he refused to be caught off-guard. It could not have been as empty as it appeared. There had to be something.

Kirk's quick pace halted at the end of the hall. Directly to their left was an open door leading out to a wide corridor, while the way to the right branched out into three hallways seemingly identical to the one they'd just left. If any member of the Enterprise had been held like Kirk and Chekov, they'd be in one of the other rooms in this block. Was "held" the right word? This place wasn't exactly much of a prison, what with the unlocked doors and lack of guards.

He'd taken two steps toward the next row of doors before halting again. "Do you hear that?" Kirk asked Chekov. There was a faint thump thump thump somewhere down the wide corridor - a machine, maybe? No, too irregular. And what was that underneath the noise? Voices? An animal? Some kind of moaning...?

Chekov looked about his new surroundings with eager fascination. So far, aside from the fact that he'd woken up in a place he hadn't gone to sleep in, this place wasn't so bad. Dark, maybe, and unfamiliar, but Chekov wouldn't have signed on to the Enterprise if he didn't care for strange and unknown worlds.

"You zink zis is Earth?" Chekov asked, looking at the door marked with an ancient sign for a bathroom. What sort of place still had knobs and signs for bathrooms? An undeveloped planet, that was for certain. Earth wasn't one of those, so it couldn't possibly be Earth.

"Hear what, sir?" Chekov asked, turning back to Kirk from inspecting the bathroom sign from afar. After he asked, though, he heard the noise Kirk was most likely referring to. He turned around to look.

"It is coming from ze next corridor," Chekov assessed, looking back at Kirk. "Should we see what it is, Keptain?"

Kirk was silent for a moment, clearly trying to assess the situation. Were they on Earth? Logic (where was Spock when you needed him, anyhow?) suggested that they couldn't be far out of the Sol System, and the only M-class planet there was Earth. And yet... the injuries on his face and hand and neck were gone, which pointed to him being out of commission for longer than a few days, and in a few days, they could have been thrown almost anywhere in the universe. Not to mention the singularity.

Why did Chekov remember getting out of it, and he didn't?

"Remind me to ask you for a debriefing later, Chekov," Kirk told him. "For now, you're right. I get a feeling those sounds are too dangerous to ignore. Stay behind me, alright? Unless," he remembered cheerfully, "you happen to be trained in 'fencing' too."

Chekov laughed jovially. "No Keptain, I'm not. I'm rather good at running, zough," he said with a grin.

Staying behind Kirk, he moved to the door and out into the larger hallway.
