Random Turbolift - Day 38 (evening) - [private/unfinished]

Apr 06, 2010 11:45

It was late in the day, and felt even later for one Doctor Leonard McCoy, CMO. Never more than lately was he so damn aware of his status on ship. Mainly because his status had gone from slightly feared Grumpy Medical Bastard to just plain ol' That Bastard. A few days later, and people were still giving him the hairy eyeball over the faked ( Read more... )

He'd just been running through a list of possible causes for Jo's silence -- maybe classes were back in session and she'd just gotten busy; or maybe his transmission had been garbled beyond recognition -- when he was roused from his thoughts. Looking up, he first noticed that he had Ensign Chekov in the lift with him. He blinked, realizing it'd been a while since he'd actually shared real space with the kid. He remembered his physical, then the follow up after the data swap. There was also that one break they'd shared on the first day of mission. And of course, the Narada Incident. Otherwise, it'd just been random, brief sightings. It was kinda like finding yourself in the presence of a timid deer one day.

Didn't help the image with the kid being all doe-eyed and gracile like one.

The second thing Leonard noticed about the situation was... there was a situation. The lift seemed to have stopped. But it wasn't opening up. The hell? "Is the door stuck?" The deck counter was blank.

Reassurances coming from a kid nearly half his age and size wasn't very reassuring. But Chekov had proven he knew, generally, what the hell he was talking about. So Leonard sighed, told himself to back off and let the kid do his tech thing. He moved to the other side of the lift. Crossed his arms and leaned against the wall to wait this out.

He suddenly had a bad feeling he was gonna be waiting longer than expected. He hadn't a clue what the kid just said. But the tone was universal for 'Oh Shit'.

Stuck? "... Stuck?" Well shit. Leonard crossed back over to examine the control panel himself. He wasn't sure what he could do that Chekov couldn't, but it was worth a look. Ended up being a moot point. It was obvious there wasn't any power coming into the panel. "Well shit." Looking up at the ensign, he asked in a determinedly level voice, "Doesn't this thing have a backup battery or somethin'?"
