The bullet flies so close it will move her hair, nick the tree behind her, only to bury itself in Austin's shoulder. It knocks him back and he cries out behind his mask.

[ jim's not sure how it got this bad. well, he knows, logically, the path of events. but it's the why that he's stuck on. why did this have to happen? they've had scrapes with new species before, but nothing like this. nothing like a diplomat coming onto the enterprise, playing at peace and friendship, then turning on them as quickly as a snake strike.

technokinetic, able to take over the ship's systems easily enough that scotty and spock together struggle to keep him out. struggle and fail, because the man's connection with the systems is as innate in him as spock's touch telepathy. he starts shutting them down one by one. small things at first, like it's some kind of game.

but the thing is. the thing is, jim's real fucking good at doing things manually. taking things apart, putting them back together, analog things. there's no one around to stop him: bones is busy taking care of crew members that got hurt in technical accidents that aren't already dead (there are so many, mostly from exploding equipment, and every name will haunt jim forever), spock and scotty are still busy putting out fires literally and figuratively.

so it's jim that shimmies into the jeffries, crawls through them to get to where the guy's holed up with his sticky little fingers in all the systems. the lights go out but jim knows the ship like the back of his own goddamn hand so he's fine even in the darkness when the emergency lights barely glow.

he gets there are more systems go down; by the time he's dropping out of the tubes there are only a few left, one of them being life support. and it's not like jim brought tech with him on purpose, not even a phaser because he'd seen him explode one with his damn brain, but that doesn't stop the man from going for him physically.

going for him with claws that slide out of his fingertips out of nowhere that he jams into jim's abdomen as jim does the same with his knife to his shoulder—he was aiming for his chest, last-ditch desperation, but the claws digging in makes him hunch over himself protectively and that throws his aim off. another bulkhead slams down, this one to the room they're in, and jim knows exactly how long it takes to cut through a bulkhead even though he hears yelling on the other side because people have arrived there to try and get him out.

jim's aware the only reason that he hasn't killed life support yet is because he's still on the ship himself. and jim figures that if he keeps him occupied long enough they can get in and he can't do anything else to the crew. his crew. and it's hard to fight when all you've got is a knife against someone else's full hand of built-in ones, especially when you're bleeding profusely from the abdomen the entire time. he's pretty sure several things got punctured in there but if they can get the systems back up, bones can fix him up then yell at him and it'll be fine. it'll definitely be fine.

(he keeps telling himself this even as his vision blurs, even as he's on his back on the floor with claws in his shoulder pinning him down, even as he jams the knife into the side of the man's neck just as the bulkhead finally starts to give way—) ]

—Not yet! That's an order!

[ because all the equipment around them is starting to overheat and jim knows, all at once, that no, it's not going to be fine. it's not going to be fine at all. at least not for him. he can still save the rest of the crew, is the thing. only now after the man's bleeding from the neck is jim able to barely, barely flip them over and jam the knife in over and over and over. if he were going to survive this, he thinks, it'd haunt him forever. but it doesn't fucking matter. it doesn't matter because consoles next to them explode as the man's mind shuts down and the connection severs all at once.

but that's fine, because life support is still running, some of the crew is still alive, and the ship herself is still mostly intact even if all her systems are down. it's fine.

he realizes, dimly, dazed from being thrown back and hitting the wall, that the people on the other side of the door didn't listen because they're getting through finally.

and jim's still awake when they do, barely, and his vision is bleary and greying around the edges. he's covered in his own blood and the blue of the dead alien's, and he's covered in burns and has a whole lot of broken bits and bobs because of the explosion. he doesn't hurt anymore at least, which is pretty nice, but he's also really cold and as the reality really settles in, he's damn scared.

someone's right up in front of him suddenly, kneeling and shouting his name, and he reaches out but can't grip anything because his fingers are broken but he plants his bloodied hand wherever he can reach. it takes him a moment to realize it's bones in front of him and he laughs, a bitter little sound, choking on some blood before he spits it out on the floor. ]

Hey, Bones. Tell me how the crew's doing.

[ he can barely grate it out, but he manages.

and maybe, maybe, if he could be taken to the ship's sickbay and treated with everything they have immediately, jim would survive. transfusions, surgery, regeneration. it's possible.

the thing is, one of the first things the guy had taken out was everything in medical, whether attached to the ship or hand-held, so all that time, everything had to be done the old-fashioned way. it's really not looking good, but it's also taking an agonizingly long time to actually finish up killing him.

at least there's no radiation poisoning or glass between them or whatever so he can at least get a little comfort from feeling bones' form solid against his hand. ]

how many times a day does she nearly do a header off a cliff? it’s a few. )

(Game/companion choices in journal, warn for spoilers, am willing to play from any point/before the games/au him into other verses/etc.

He's a Cheery little wrecking ball of energy that someone gave a fuckoff big axe too, this shit is his bread and butter.)

( yes yes yes yes yes.... i'm game for something dangerous or silly. put her in a situation! nei's blood is said to draw out monsters, so if she gets nicked it'd be a bad time if it's a setting where there's a lot to worry about and would be better to pick off some at a time.

i'm open to her getting dunked on and get rocked by something but it'd take a decent bit to get her there, or have her step in to help?

oorrr if you're really feeling spicy the almost getting caught thing is an option. )

[[Bio & preferences. You know that Discworld scene where Death's having a near-Vimes experience? Yeah, he's here because someone got that close. Happy to go as silly or serious as you'd like.]]

((I couldn't not.))

Bio-. A man from a world where once a month, somewhere in the world is struck by a reality-altering event. He has recently joined the organisation that combats paranormal events and supernatural criminals, using his transmogrification powers.

Always on missions, always nearly dying, it's a living.

[ a distress call from a backwater planet isn't really notable. not anymore, at least, not after jim's been on this particular enterprise for a long time now. at first he'd balked at bothering to even go check up on things, put up arguments about how stupid it was to go jumping onto planets face first to help strangers out because even if their mission is exploratory and diplomatic in nature it's stupid to die for people you don't even know. but over time he's mellowed. not that he'll admit it. he's still never particularly happy about it, but he stopped arguing and started going with the flow when it comes to chasing after the hopeless cause of trying to save everyone.

now, standing here on-planet with the sealed rebreather mask over his face, he wishes he'd still been that old him when the distress signal had cut off abruptly and he'd just let a team go down anyway. a team with spock and himself and several others. less others, now.

even though the planet had scanned almost entirely plant life, that turns out! to be because! they're all fucking mushroom people! vicious when they can be, mindless when they're not, and the spores. the goddamn spores. some dipshit redshirt had tried to go out without his protective equipment and that really hadn't gone well for him is the thing. because now he is also a mushroom people. person. whose head happened to explode with spores a couple of hours ago after he'd climbed to the top of an old building. jim wonders idly how long the planet's been like this for. there do seem to be some survivors, which is one of the reasons why they're still here in the first place, but not many. (the other reason is the spores fuck up transport and comms and gummed up the shuttle so bad they can't use it.) most of the people are just like that redshirt now, though it's weird their guy did the head explody thing so quick when it's clear others have been loitering around for ages.

anyway. always wear your personal protective equipment, kids. he says that out loud when the guy's head pops and spock looks at him with that judging eyebrow but jim knows he agrees about the equipment thing and it almost feels like home for a second.

whatever. no time to reminisce.

there's a point they get separated and jim spends a hot goddamn minute sneaking around not being seen by freakish fungus people before he finally hears a commotion and a couple of voices he recognizes and heads that way. by the time he gets there spock's taken care of (ahem) one of the things and a panting blueshirt who actually is wearing their mask is looking a little stricken but seems otherwise fine. so they go back to work trying to pry survivors out of the jaws of whatever death this is while trying to find a clear spot to contact the enterprise.

they have not been able to do that yet. ]

Hey, Spock. This feels real circle of life, huh? It's pretty normal for mushrooms to eat dead people, if you think about it. They just usually don't start when the people are still alive.

[ yeah, he's being an asshole because he's pissed off. and also because he's just an asshole in general. ]
