Kay doesn't go near the barriers on principle. He's not a scientist and they don't interest him much. Besides, he isn't too worried about finding ways to leave this world. He has no place to, only death waits for him outside the cities. And so, it's unusual for him to wander near the barriers, yet he has been walking close enough that he spotted the man lying on the ground.
One of the new arrivals, no doubt, and one Kay recognizes. He approaches him quickly, kneeling on the ground to check the Vulcan's for vitals when two things happen at once. One, his processor goes haywire, his HUD sending warning message in the span of milliseconds. Two, and more alarming, there's a flood of mixed thoughts and feelings starting to pile at an alarming rate in his mind. Another second ticks away, his processor keeps hurling warnings at him and Kay's body reacts when his mind can not.
A metal hand reaches out to grab onto Spock's arm and, rather unceremoniously, pulls him towards Kay's chest. The droid lift the unconscious man and moves away from the spot where he was lying down as fast as his legs would take him. He has pretty long legs, it takes him only two more seconds to put a reasonable distance. The warning messages are dying down but his processor still feels like screaming at the raw emotions it had to deal with in such short time. Kay doesn't know what happened but he's not staying there to figure it out. Optics flickering as he walks, he looks down at Spock.
"Can you hear me?"
No answer comes, which isn't particularly surprising. Kay shakes his head, focuses on his surroundings and then turns towards the East, heading to Genessia hospital. He's lucky enough to find another familiar face once he gets there, one that even Spock would recognize if he were awake.
When McCoy and the nurses take Spock away, Kay is left alone with his own thoughts. The memory of what happened, of the sensations running amok in his mind and the certainty that a lot of them had to do with Cassian, make the droid's mood sour. Instead of leaving, he decides to stay and wait until he knows for sure that commander Spock will be all right.
