NIGHT 54: West Wing, North Hall 1-A

[From here.]At least if he couldn't soothe anything else, he could soothe the flashlight. While it seemed to rebel by flickering a few more times, the light stayed steady otherwise. So now, on top of attempting to supply himself with blood so he didn't randomly select a new victim and get stabbed between his ribs again or set on fire, he had to ( Read more... )

[from here]

The hallway outside of the block was empty when they stepped into it, but at least Kirk could make out the glow of flashlights bobbing around further down the hall. He found his own and switched it on, not tempted to take his chances even though he'd walked this way dozens of times before. Not tonight, not when another "experiment" was guaranteed. If Kirk had to say one thing in favour of their new wardens, it was that at least they skipped over Landel's movie villain act and got straight to the point.

Landel. None of the other crew had been in the Sun Room, he remembered. Kirk finished his sweep of the corridor and turned back back to Bones, his cheerfulness suddenly gone. "You and Spock were both in the greenhouse during the last shift, right? You're not going to believe who I saw come into the Sun Room." ...Probably he should've waited for the rendezvous with Spock before dropping this bomb, but thinking before he spoke had never been one of Kirk's strengths ( ... )

It had seemed like a good idea at the time to get out of the more popular areas that shift, since that seemed like it'd be crawling with both more soldiers and more chances for a repeat of earlier. The greenhouse had seemed like a good idea. Now he was starting to regret it. Any chance to get more information on the people who had run this place before was to good to pass up and he'd just missed it ( ... )

((From here.))As Spock drew closer, there was one detail he took note of that he hadn't seen from a distance in the dark -- Kirk was dressed in the gold uniform standard for officers in the command track ( ... )

"I'm not-" Kirk started, then stopped when he noticed an unmistakable figure in blue coming towards them. "Spock!" Well, that made things easier. He'd near-forgotten that the three of them were stationed so close to each other, given that it had been several nights since he'd travelled with both Spock and Bones. Which made this particular night kind of exciting, actually, ignoring the whole Project 2911 More Reasons To Hate This Godforsaken Place deal. (Or so Kirk assumed that's what the number meant. Maybe he was overestimating Aguilar, and only about two thousand reasons had been prepared for tonight, which would make it pretty much the same as every other night in this place.)

And maybe also ignoring the matter of something going on between his doctor and his first officer... except of course, being the captain, Kirk couldn't. The Head Doctor- former Head Doctor's appearance in the Sun Room might have been priority intel, but Kirk hadn't forgotten why he'd ordered them both to endure his delightful company tonight ( ... )

The doctor unconsciously tensed the moment Spock came up behind him, then seemed to catch himself. It was just the slightest tightening of his shoulders and spine. It only lasted for a fraction of a second. Then McCoy grimaced. They had a specific word for what Jim just pulled, dangling something like that out in front of a person and then holding off at the last minute. McCoy was just a little more of a gentleman to go saying it. Thinking it, on the other hand, was perfectly fine ( ... )

Any explanation regarding what Kirk had seen would have to wait. As Spock predicted, learning about the incident from last night was one of his top priorities. It was only logical for a captain to hear such details, particularly when they obviously related to the dangers found within the Institute. Yet McCoy had been uncooperative when the Vulcan pressed for more information during breakfast. He wondered if the doctor would insist on remaining silent to even Jim ( ... )

Kirk's eyebrows rose when Spock finished his report. A creature. So it was no one's fault, really. Not that he had seriously believed they would've come to blows while thinking rationally - argue, sure, but not attack each other - but it was still a relief to get that cleared up. Or should have been a relief, but Kirk's shoulders didn't relax even a fraction as he stared between his two senior officers, trying to figure out what the hell was still bothering him ( ... )

McCoy finally cast Spock a strange look. They both knew that wasn't entirely true. Sure he was Spock's subordinate, but it wasn't like Spock had ordered him to do something he hadn't wanted to do. The Vulcan had neglected to mention that he had been the one pestering the commander to let them split up in the first place. Spock had seemed perfectly content to stick together. Had he just lied to the Captain's face ( ... )

He noticed the way McCoy looked at him. As far as Spock was concerned, however, he hadn't said anything deceitful or misleading. He had agreed to split up (which implied McCoy's role in this as well), and he'd said as much to Kirk. What he hadn't done was unnecessarily draw extra attention to the fact that it had originally been McCoy's suggestion in the first place. To do so would have looked like he was trying to shift the blame onto their doctor, when in reality it didn't matter whose idea it was ( ... )

Okay, Bones was a terrible liar. Or if not a liar, then... actually, Kirk didn't know what that look to Spock entailed, but it took a good deal of patience to keep from just stopping in the middle of the hallway again to demand what the hell was going on between the two of them. If they'd been anywhere else, at any other time... He knew all too well that the nighttime could cut out on them without any warning, and Kirk was determined to at least catch of glimpse of what lay beyond the prison walls ( ... )
