the stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun, can you read my mind?

[straightontilmorning]

Jim didn't do well with nothing to do. Reading books, watching holos, bugging her crew, hustling them at pool, beating them up (and being beat up in turn) in the name of improving their fighting skills - they all served as distractions, but in the end she went to bed, slept fitfully, and faced another day to fill with inanities when she woke up.

And avoiding Helen, fighting with herself about whether or not to talk to her. At any given time, she could tell you what was on the doctor's schedule for the day, both for being conveniently out of the way and in it. She had a few extremely awkward conversations with Helen, and she hated it. More than anything else, this was what she truly abhorred about her time on Tantalus: that he had so easily reached into her head and twisted her emotions around, made her believe she was in love when she was really just reacting to false memories he'd instructed her mind to create.

She wasn't quite sure how, but somehow sleeplessness and restlessness had brought her to Spock's door. After a moment of hesitation, she pressed the door chime. With any luck, she wouldn't be waking him up.

Comments

Psh, right journals.

It was not long at all before the door opened, Spock standing from his desk.

"Captain," he said with a nod. "Come in."

It was embedded deep, hidden in her memories attached to the Neural Neutralizer. Not just trust, but a need to trust because it was the only thing there

(the pain increases unless you obey me)

between her and a deafening emptiness

the lifeline he threw to hold onto.

Leonard had been busy for the majority of his day, thus had missed the start of the readings from Jim's monitor. However, when Christine had almost physically pushed him to the monitor in the med bay, his face fell with worry and concern. Grabbing onto the first packed med kit and tricorder, he was intent on finding her.

"Computer, locate Captain James Kirk?"

Upon being told her location, he cursed under his breath, padding his way down the corridors to the turbolift to his destination.
