[sickbay - McCoy's surgery: open]

Jul 31, 2009 23:48

As soon as Uhura had alerted her that the away team was beaming back, Chapel had sent a message to M'Benga, knowing that the experienced doctor would be needed. He was trying to get some much-needed rest, after a shift and a half overseeing the sickbay before Chapel took over, but it wouldn't be the first time that either of them forced themselves ( Read more... )

Kirk looked up sharply when he saw Chapel come out of surgery. The beautiful blonde was covered in blood, Bones' blood. He held his breath for a long moment.

"He'll live." She said. And in that moment, she was the most perfect person in the world.

Kirk let out that breath and sunk back, a slow grin coming to his own face. Bones would make it. He'd make it. He'd live, he'd live. She wouldn't be grinning like that if it was 'he'll live and never walk again', Kirk was pretty sure.

It didn't ease the guilt thick in his chest, but it did ease some of the worry. "When will he be awake??" Kirk asked her, fingers clenching at his side.

"The general anesthetic will wear off soon. He'll probably be awake within an hour or two. He won't be up for philosophical debates or anything, but you'll be able to say hello."

Kirk managed a smile for her, "...thanks. For everything." For saving my friend's life. He thought privately. "You don't mind if I clutter up your sickbay for tonight?" Making the question into something easy when it was anything but.

"You can stay," Chapel confirmed. She looked as though she might say more, but suddenly her attention was pulled away by the other James Kirk bursting into the sickbay.

*Spock had spent hours wandering the Enterprise, using the time and the forward momentum to think his way through Scott's notes. He had a working theory regarding Leonard and Scott. It needed more testing. But he had also spent the time building a series of mental walls and barriers, moats around his fear and grief. The tenuous connection with his Leonard was in a cage - it could not escape him. He would have his control back, suppress emotion and discomfort until his logic preserved him.

He stood outside the Sickbay doors. He could feel McCoy's living presence, Kirk's relief. Spock bowed his head for a moment.*

Kirk had been attempting to keep himself busy. On the bridge, with paperwork--he'd even gone down to the near-empty gymnasium at one point, to attempt to push aside the turmoil of his mind, Spock's mind, with physical exertion. This wasn't his ship. That feeling was growing, the wonder of discovery fading slightly though it was more that homesickness had been layered over his natural adventerousness ( ... )

*spock raised his head. he had felt jimls approach and the gulf of longing within Spock was unbearable before he closed it off, blocked it behind yet another wall.*

He is alive and will stay that way. Kirk is relieved. I have not entered.

*Spock turns his face away. Jim is confused, lost feelling and Spock wants nothing more than to go to him but that would not be logical, it would only make it harder when Kirk decided the bond was too much and asked to break it.*

Inside the sickbay, Kirk shifted as he felt Spock's presence. He wanted to run out there, burrow into the older man's arms like a child, and be terrified for a while. But he couldn't. His pride told him he couldn't, the parts of him that told him he had to act like the Captain told him he couldn't.

Even when he felt like he was being torn up inside. So he did what he always did, masking it in a mix of relief to simply know Bones was going to make it and the mask of the Captain.

The reflected version of the interphased Enterprise's Chief Engineer is still quite peaceably unconscious on a biobed and probably under guard. No signs of returning to the land of the living, though his vitals are all stable, absent some slightly screwy brainwaves. He's a little mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in an anomaly, but Hell will have to stop breaking loose before anyone would have it in them to try to solve it. In the meantime, he's safe where he's at.

[[OOC: Just establishing that he's still alive. Mostly won't be able to do much with him for the rest of the day.]]

[[OOC- Yikes! Gone for a day and everything is...wait okay? AWESOME. Unfortunately I'll be gone for most of today too, but I'll try my best to post when I can. ]]

Scotty doubted he'd ever forget the beaming smile of Ensign Hannity's face, or the cutting silence that crossed the bridge as the away team managed to contact them through a weak patch in the ion storm. He'd given the order for an emergency medical beam-out before Hannity had even depressed the com to respond. It took too long to get a lock on them, but the transporter operators were confident. As they engaged, Riley relayed that the beam had circumvented the storm's interference successfully ( ... )
