star trek xi - hikaru sulu

» two.

( » voice )

_{( sulu's voice sounds a little belabored, like he's been exercising. his words are curt and to the point. )}

Apparently going for the head isn't going to cut it. In case you were wondering.

_{( there's a sound of something slicing, the ring of metal, and then the feed cuts out. )}

( » action )

_{( most people would run away from the creepy skeleton creatures, but sulu is determined to find a way through them. he can be found in various city locals, taking them on with a super cool^TM sword. you should come say hi. or help. or get into a damsel-y scenario. whatever works, really. )}

[Does it sound like there might be animated zombie-skeletons running around in the background? Yeah? Probably, because there are. Getting in trouble, what.]

How many slices does it take to incapacitate one of these creatures?

[Chekov might sound out of breath. He might be doing a lot of running.]

I haven't exactly been counting.

_{( heavy breaths, heavy footfalls. )} If you can get their legs and their heads, they're pretty much down and out.

--Where are you? Are you alright?

So three, if you aim well.

[Man, Chekov kind of wishes he could see the carnage. Sulu is really cool when he's hacking things up.]

I'm in one piece, currently, and my exact location is--don't laugh at me for this--unknown.

Two, if you can get both legs at once.

_{( he's so modest.

but then-- )} You don't know where you are?

[So. Damn. Cool. Which are not words that Sulu will ever hear uttered.]

I was going to work, I was attacked, I ran! [aka not his fault] The forest, in retrospect, was not a good place to run to, but I will find my way out.

Do you need someone to come get you? _{( this is said in a very straightforward, not at all patronizing way. )}

How is that possible if even I don't know my location?

[That was meant to be patronizing. It comes out a little nervous instead.]

Are the others safe? Relatively?

You'd stay still and we'd fan out.

_{( obviously. )}

I'm with the captain and we're going to help Doctor McCoy defend the hospital. I haven't heard from everyone else.

That is a terrible plan.

[Obviously.]

And you both have your limbs attached? Hvala bogu.

Barely, but I managed somehow.

_{( a beat. )}

It wasn't that awful a plan.

Please keep them attached. You will be at the hospital? I can meet you there.

[He's not quite as self-assured as usual. There's not even a snarky rejoinder.]

Be there in half an hour or we'll come looking.

_{( don't die he doesn't like anyone as much as he likes you :c )}

One hour.

[~~Best bro~~ He will try very hard to not die. It isn't an experience that he wants to repeat more than one more time. But getting to the hospital might take some time, and he would rather not have everyone risk their lives trying to save him because he got lost while running away from zombies.]

Forty-five minutes.

Fifty-three. Final offer.

_{( barely perceptible sigh. )}

If you die in those eight, you're never hearing the end of it.

I would expect nothing less than constant reminders.

You will be alive when I get there.

Good to know we're both sure of that.

Don't joke about that.

[He will be VERY UPSET if Sulu dies. There might be tears.]

Wasn't a joke.

Then I will see you, intact, in no more than fifty-three minutes.

[He won't need those extra eight minutes. Chekov might not be much of a fighter, but he's sufficiently fast and sneaky to make it to the hospital unmaimed and in a timely fashion.]
