[Voice, locked to residents] --EMERGENCY--EMERGENCY--EMERGENCY--EMERGENCY--

[malnosso]

[At 2:15AM, the journals suddenly blare out an alarm, followed by this message.]

EMERGENCY. EMERGENCY. This is an emergency.

The following occupants of the Luceti enclosure must report to the teleporters in twenty minutes. You are required as reinforcements in Region 13. Bring all necessary armaments with you. You will be teleported directly into combat.

Anyone who fails to comply will be forcibly escorted to the teleporters by droids.

This is not a drill. I repeat: this is not a drill. You have twenty minutes.

[The message repeats twice more, the alarm continuing until the twenty minutes has elapsed. No questions will be answered.]

Action - Star Trek House to the Teleporters

[universal_charm]

<sub>[ Kirk is not an early riser, despite time in the academy and it's pseudo-military training. He is even less happy to be up when he finally registers what is being said. He had only been through one, and it had not been fun. He did not wish to go again, but his name was on that damn list. And he knew that fighting it would only cause more problems. Besides, maybe this was a chance to learn something, something they couldn't trapped inside their bird cage.

He got out of bed and tugged on his black pants and boots and, for the sake of his own comfort and mental security, worked into his yellow Star Fleet shirt (which holes newly made to fit his wings). It wasn't as if it gave him any real authority, but it did make him feel more confident, and that was something. He secured his phaser into the holster on his belt and moved to have goodbyes with Spock. This would happen mere months after they... no, don't think on it. It just made it harder.

Prepared, he headed out and through the streets to the teleporters, figuring anyone else out this early was one of the lucky chosen few. ]</sub>

Dammit Jim

[snapturtle]

[A certain half Klingon housemate will be stomping out of her room before he leaves.]

You damn well better be careful, and come back in one piece.

[She says this with all seriousness as she stands there, arms folded, still in her night clothes.]

Re: Dammit Jim

[universal_charm]

_{[ He looked at her and he could not help but smile. She was from his future, and yet he had come to really like her and her presence in the House was... it fit. But the situation dampened his mood enough that he could not even bring himself to let out a giggle at her night clothes.}

Instead, he gave her a light salute. ]

Aye-aye, captain.

The Teleporters

[cajunspice]

[Remy caught sight of Kirk as he approached closer to the teleporters, having distanced himself further back from some of the others to go over a mental check list of the items he held on his person and in his coat. That and to finish up the energy drink he had managed to grab along the way. It woke him up for now, even if he was going to get a sugar crash later during the day.]

Bonjour capitaine, 'magine meetin' ya here.

Re: The Teleporters

[universal_charm]

_{[ He looked over to Remy and raised his hand in a two-fingered salute, leaning back against one of the walls, just waiting, because pacing was just ramping him up now. ]}

I know, it's a small little bird cage, isn't it? Didn't happen to bring that drink you promised me last time we talked, did you?

[cajunspice]

Ya insult me, [Remy raised a hand to his chest, a look of mock hurt on his face.] That ya think I would be so ill prepared.

[Reaching into his coat he produced a flask, giving it a shake to prove it was in fact full from the sound of liquid sloshing around in it.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He couldn't help but let out a laugh, shaking his head, but smiling at the mutant. ]}

You have my sincerest apologies. Of course I should never have doubted you. I, sadly, did not come quite so prepared.

[cajunspice]

[Remy tsked as he replaced the flask back into his coat.] Considerin' what may be facin' us, should assume a strong drink may be needed by the end of it.

Rest of ya team not dragged 'long on this fun ride we bein' thrown into?

[universal_charm]

Nope, seems not. Spock and B'Elenna got left behind.

_{[ Which he was secretly glad for, because he had no idea how he would be able to protect them on that field in a foot battle. He was good with ships, not face-front combat. ]}

What about you? Any of yours around here?

[cajunspice]

Donno if I would call them 'mine', bein' back home we normally on opposite sides, mais oui, seems got a few 'bout. [And none that should be there. All of them were kids! Bar Rogue, who seemed like she was too jaded from previous battles already. The rest of the X-Men and Wanda had no idea what they were getting into neither did he, that this wasn't some school yard turf war they were use to.]

More the merrier, hein?

[universal_charm]

Yeah, safety in numbers and all that. Though it looks like we have quite a few of us here with super powers of some kind, you know?

_{[ He had a super soldier's cells inside of him now, but he was no Krillian or Vegeta or Loki. He could take a fair sized punch now though, which was some relief, he supposed. ]}

Have to hope that works in our favor.

Teleporters!

[lostinmyway]

[And that's where Kirk would be wrong, because Grune is out this early and she is not one of the lucky chosen few. Instead, she's playing the role of cheerleader today.]

Good morning, James!

Re: Teleporters!

[universal_charm]

_{[ It had been awhile since he had talked to Grune, though not because he wanted to avoid her. Things had come up, mental things, relationship things, people leaving, it was a mess to be honest. His life was messier here than on Earth really. Sad, wasn't it?}

Nonetheless he smiled at her, still feeling bad for near throwing up on her or at her (he forgot which, but he knew he had thrown up in her presence). He waved at her, trying to hide his nerves. ]

Good morning, Grune. You heading for the teleporters too?

Re: Teleporters!

[lostinmyway]

[She shakes her head.]

Oh, no. I'm here to wish everyone "Good luck."

[Come to think of it....] Good luck!

Re: Teleporters!

[universal_charm]

_{[ He can't help but smile a bit at that, coming closer to her. ]}

Good luck, huh? Hopefully that keeps with me. I have a feeling I'll need it.

Re: Teleporters!

[lostinmyway]

[The sight of his smile makes her own smile grow.]

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll do a very good job.

Re: Teleporters!

[universal_charm]

Well, that would be the hope. Keep wishing me good luck and I'm sure it'll reach me and the others wherever we're going.

Re: Teleporters!

[lostinmyway]

All right! Good luck!

[Grune, he didn't actually mean it.]

[Action]

[spohkh]

[Spock grabbed Jim by the arm...]

Do not leave.

[No, no... anything but this. Send him instead. Why was this happening? The Vulcan's mind was buzzing with panic and worry. He couldn't lose Jim.]

Re: [Action]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk looked at him and smiled a bit sadly. He twisted his wrist and twined their fingers, squeezing. ]}

It's okay. Besides, if I don't go of my own free will, they'll just drag me out instead.

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

[Spock practically bared his teeth.]

Then I will fight them off.
['I am in control of my emotions, I am in control of my emotions.' Spock had to remind himself over and over that he would not lose it here.]

Do not leave me behind... please.

Re: [Action]

[universal_charm]

I don't really have a choice, do I Spock?

_{[ He sighed, squeezing his hand again and bending down to kiss him softly. ]}

I'll come back in one piece. You know me, I always seem to come out with the big end of the stick in these things somehow.

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

[Spock is having flashbacks from his first draft, when Jim wasn't here.... The Vulcan had returned nearly half-dead. He didn't want that to happen to his Captain.]

Relying on luck is entirely illogical Ashayam.
[The Vulcan stands, pulling his mate into a tight embrace.] Do not die.

Re: [Action]

[universal_charm]

Please, like I would go and do a thing like that.

_{[ He hugged him back, pressing his face into his shoulder and sighing. He hated doing this, having to do this, but they had little choice in the matter. ]}

You and B keep out of trouble?

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

[Spock just hugged him tighter.]

You seem to forget that you have died once before. I do not wish to witness that again.

[Seriously Jim, you die, you're going to make them both suffer. Take into account the bond that they share.]
