Questions and Answers

At this he paused, remembering the conversation I was having with Spock a few hours ago. "Right, of course you have. Just... let me know if you should need anything." I nodded, taking note of Spock and the other two watching this interaction. A few minutes passed when McCoy came back with a bowl of water and started dabbing at the cuts again. They weren't bleeding anymore by this point, so he seemed to calm down some.

It was late at night by this point, Kirk was looking out the window, everyone else was standing around the beds. I leaned against one of the far walls. Even in my quarters, I hadn't slept in my own bed but against one of the walls. It's been like that for as long as I can remember. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath. My hair hanging in a loose braid across my shoulder.

Opening my eyes I turned to face the captain. "Landru. My guess is we have until morning. Let's put the time to good use. Doctor, atmospheric readings to determine whether there's anything in the air to account for all of this. Mr. Lindstrom, correlate all that you've seen with any other sociological parallels, if any. Mr. Spock.. You (Y/n) and I have some serious thinking to do. When we leave here tomorrow morning, I want to have a plan of action."

Spock was led by the arm to where I was leaning against the wall. After another few hours of planning and debate the others finally got into the beds. Kirk was standing on watch, seeming to watch as I sat against the wall trying to keep my eyes open. Spock had given me his cloak to keep warm with as I slept, and just that warmth alone was making me sleepy. I rubbed my face slightly, but as the minutes ticked by it was harder and harder to stay awake.

Eventually, I managed to fall asleep. Only to be jarred from my slumber when the bell tome went off at six in the morning. I sat up quickly wondering when I'd fallen over and when I gained this blanket. "Spock. Lindstrom. Doc..." I moved to stand, placing the cover on one of the beds. And after removing Spock's cloak I handed it back with a small thank you. As everyone got up there was a woman's sobbing voice flooded my ears.

We were quick to make our way to where the noise was coming from. The girl from yesterday was crying into her father's arms, he tried to comfort her. I watched in silence as McCoy and Spock took her into a separate room. Kirk held the father back. McCoy was going to give her a shot to calm her down. This was supposed to all be this Landru's will. The question to who Landru was, left open. I watched in silence, I was a science officer, there wasn't much I could do here. I didn't even study behavioral sciences.

The question pressing in the forefront of my mind, why was I here?As I listened Reger went off on something about not being part of the body and walked away quickly. When we reached the room McCoy had taken the girl she was asleep. "Are you... Are you Archons?"

I waited to see what Kirk would do. "What if we are?"

This seemed to calm him down slightly, even if he was still looking at us with suspicion. "It was said more would follow. If you are indeed-" The other man thought they should hide us. These lawgivers must work for Landru, and if my hypothesis is correct... they would turn us to the will of landru. Kirk thought we could take care of ourselves.

I turned hearing the doors open. It was the short man from before, and there were people in brown cloaks and strange sticks following him. The man pointed to us. "He is the one. He mocked the Lawgivers. I heard him." The men seemed to become uneasy seeing these people in the brown cloaks. The other man tried to say it was just a jest. "The others-- they were here, but they scorned the Festival. I saw it."

One of the Cloaked men spoke, sounding like he was talking through a communication system. "Tamar, stand clear." Reger was shaking as the other man stepped forward, he seemed almost compelled to do so. Sparks came from the strange stick and the man started to fall. This was strange. "You attack the Body. You have heard the word and disobeyed. You will be absorbed. "
