Questions and Answers

Absorbed? "What do you mean, absorbed?" Kirk asked. The smaller man was smirking, like he had won favor for doing some dirty work. And this Body reference, it could be referring to the people that followed Landru. The people with their strange smiles.

One of those sticks were being pointed at Kirk, the other Reger. "You will be Absorbed. The good is all. Landru is gentle. You will come." The captain stood defiant, stating that we weren't going anywhere. "It is the law. You must come." Again Kirk stated we weren't going anywhere. I adjusted my stance slightly, waiting. I watched the men turn to one another as if conversing or guarding the door to prevent us from leaving.

Spock walked over to Kirk. "Evidently they are not prepared to deal with outright disobedience. How did you know?"

The captain seemed just as captivated. "Everything we've seen here so far seems to indicate some sort of compulsive involuntary stimulus to action. (Y/n) brought up the idea last night after you had gone to sleep."

Spock nodded. "Your analysis seems logical." After a second they turned back to us. Looks like whatever was going in has come to its conclusion.

They weren't directing their strange sticks at us anymore. "It is clear that you simply did not understand. I will rephrase. You are ordered to accompany us to the absorption chambers." I watched the captain step towards them. Still remaining just as defiant as he had before. Instead, asking why they killed the man. "Out of order. You will obey. It is the word of Landru."

Kirk pointed at them. "You tell Landru that we'll come in our own time, and that we'll speak to him." The cloaked man tried to point the stick at the captain again but it was easily pulled from his grasp and handed off to Spock. We were told this was not to be done. I tilted my head slightly, listening to a slightly high-pitched whirring. This was supposed to be Landru?

Spock looked at the staff. "Fascinating. This is merely a hollow tube, captain. No mechanism."

Reger stepped past. "They are communing. We have time. Come with me. To a place I know. You'll be safe there. But we must hurry. Landru will come." Spock put the stick aside, and started to pull up his hood. Outside the streets were strewn with debris. I followed quietly towards the back of the group. As we walked I noticed something strange. Everyone seemed to be stopping and staring at us. "Landru. He's summoning the Body."

Using whatever influence he had over the people it looked like we were going to get attacked. Men and women bent down to pick up wooden sticks, or rocks. I pulled my phaser out of my coat setting it to stun. We followed Reger down an alley but more of these people came from down it. Setting a wide field we knocked some out. Having to stop as more were flooding through. One of them was the man we came looking for.

Kirk wanted to bring him along so I bent down and started lifting him onto my shoulders. We continued down the streets, one of the other men kept their hand at my back to prevent the man on my back from falling off as we moved. The room we entered was dark until Reger brought out a light panel. I followed McCoy's orders to place the man on the bed. I did listen, this light panel it came from a time before Landru. Possibly as long ago as six thousand years.

Spock had a point, it was inconsistent with this environment. Inconsistent with everything we have seen up until this point. I moved away from the talking to think. This absorption into the body. The sticks that were holo yet had the capability to kill. Finally, Landru himself. I leaned against a wall folding my hands and resting my elbows on my knees in thought. This Landru couldn't possibly still be alive if that panel was over six thousand years old. He could have been alive at some point, but not six thousand years later.

In addition to all of the strange power readings, he could be some sort of a mechanical device. Then there was this body. The body consisted of people Landru, people who would do exactly as told like mindless drones. "Captain. Sensor beams. Very strong, we're being probed. In this direction." Spock had his tricorder out and directed at a wall.
