❛ good, then we’re on the same page. ❜ leonard’s gaze went everywhere but anakin’s, not necessarily out of guilt as it was discomfort. he called it long before they arrived, long before jim got his stupid little fingers on the artefact. bad news, jim ! bad news ! // you worry too much, bones, it won’t do a thing. yeah, well, tough shit, kid, because it did a helluva a lot more than you think. let me just be clear on one thing, alright ? i understand my words might not be comprehensible, given our current situation, but just so we’re clear… i don’t know.    his stress levels steadily increased with each passing second. he truly had no idea where jim was or what the hell he was doing, and even if he did, he probably wouldn’t say anything. 

judging by the shift in circumstance, he would have no choice but to disclose the location of his captain to the jedi. with this, he would’ve said something, if he had something to say in the first place. alas, he did not.  last i remember is that we were on our ship. we beamed to the surface, right about when shit hit the fan. now i’m standin’ here, talkin’ t’you, tryna make sense of everything that’s happened. i wouldn’t endanger the life of my captain. if what you say is true, then i’d be more than willin’ t’tell you where he is, if i knew where he was in the first place. i’ll keep bringin’ us back t’this point, y’know, ‘cause it ain’t changin’. i gotta find him, ‘n i gotta find him fast. 

there was no faking the urgency in his tone. he felt stranded without his captain at his side. he felt responsible in so many ways and not only be responsible for the misplacement of his captain, but his death as well ? no, goddammit, don’t you start thinkin’ like that. ya’ll wanna escort me t’where y'scooped me up ? bet that’s a real good place t’start.

               ANAKIN’S PENCHANT FOR stoicism makes him a good match for the doctor’s high-strung hysteria. It appears the articles weren’t exaggerating when they sited Kirk’s loyalty && importance to his crew. The panic inspired by this pre-existing attachment would’ve had Windu rolling his eyes. But Anakin understands, better than he’s willing to admit out loud. 

     ❝ What was the last thing he said to you before running off? Was he coherent? ❞ Too much adrenaline spilling into Mccoy’s bloodstream already, manifesting seismic spikes of nervous energy in the Force. But there’s something else beyond that too, punching out from the planet beneath their orbit, the volatile expansion of unrelated energies. On a deep breath, Anakin bends his attention outwards. Something shivers through him when he stumbles the upon traces of an unfamiliar Force presence, projecting strong enough to be felt from this far away. 

               It can’t be a coincidence

               The Jedi Knight’s eyes splay wide at the mention of Dr. Mccoy accompanying the search party. A friendly face isn’t bad insurance against the influence Kirk is under, but Anakin can’t imagine that the Council will be receptive to the idea of involving more non-Jedi with this whole mess. ❝ You’re not cleared to be in the field right now, Doctor Mccoy. Anyone who came in contact with that artifact needs to stay in quarantine, on our ship, until we can find a way to reverse effects. That means you too. ❞
