"Wild Life"

 

 

 

Zack stepped on the soft, cold, damp, edgy grass, then stepped on hard, cold, damp, shrapnel shaped rock, then on the grass then on the rock again then stopped on the grass. The Romulan camp, estimated using primitive estimation skillz, should be about 4 more Kilometres away, snuggled in a wide field surrounding by tall vegetation.

 

Zack wasn't exactly prepared to do much but survey the camp, which was why they came down here in the first place, so survey was a pretty good idea. Okay so Zack's subconscious was not doing a good job at concealing fear. Zack finally admits it to his consciousness that he was scared out of his pants from the idea of possible Romulan entanglement if he made a mistake. His consciousness bold ignores it and firmly kicked the subconscious persona into a box and locked it. This affair went on constantly in Zack's mind.

 

The mission wasn't as hard as it seemed but now it seemed impossible - get in quietly, look at the position, their numbers, get out quietly, return to ship and run away as fast as you can - All too simple it seemed, and this was why Zack's sub consciousness was demanding a transfer of minds.

 

The whole sequence of events from the ship to the shuttle to the FINAL MOMENT to the FINAL MOMENT Version 2 to the planet took roughly seconds but to Zack it seemed to be an eternity. But now that they were on the forsaken planet, there was no more backing but sticking with the mission.

 

Gladly from his experience in literature classes, which the Vulcan professor was quite logically boring, he learned the art of doodling from the confines of his visual center, Zack remembers the drawing of the whole area in terms of position of the team, the mountain, the cave to the Romulan Encampment.

 

So, in theory nothing was wrong ... so why the agitation? Zack thought. The answer came quite hauntingly ... Nothing ever goes according to planned ...

 

Zack looked up but saw nothing but clouds.

 

"That one looks like a Sovereign class ship and that one looks like a Warbird." He said musingly to the others and walked on. Whatever the edgy feeling was ... it was the least of his worries now. He walked on.
