ACTION [ota]

[vulcanyounot]

[Spock has devoted pretty much all of his free time since his arrival a few weeks ago to the Genessia Scientific Research Foundation in an attempt to learn more about the world that they’re all trapped on, hoping that a deeper understanding will help facilitate figuring out how to get off this rock. And while he trusts his peers’ work, there is nothing better than a first hand account. Which is how he found himself approaching the barrier. He hasn’t seen it for himself; maybe he can spot something that was previously missed. He’s been fully warned not to touch it, but a close look certainly can’t hurt, right?

Wrong.

He’s still a hundred feet away from the barrier when he feels it hit him: a wall of emotions unlike anything he’s ever felt. He can’t even make one out above the other, it’s just too much too much too much. Through the sensation his mind is racing. He’s not touching the barrier, nor was he trying to use any sort of telepathy when the sensation struck. It’s only been about three seconds and his mind feels as if it’s about to explode; this is far more intense than any meld he’s done before. His logic dictates him with one final thought before the surge overwhelms him and he crumbles to the ground: they were wrong about the barrier’s reach.]

((ooc: Spock has passed out his first month here this has to be some sort of record and will awaken in the hospital in a few hours! Feel free to visit him there to make sure he’s okay, or berate him for being an idiot.))

As previously stated, as I have experienced the phenomena, I will be more adequately prepared for another encounter. If there are any lasting effects, having already been subjugated to them, I would not receive any additional harm, whereas you would be an unnecessary casualty. Furthermore, as a Vulcan, I am able to choose not to feel, which would prove most beneficial for this encounter. You, as a human, do not have such an advantage.

Your courage is commendable, but there is no need for you to risk your safety as a more viable subject is present and available.

You're stuck in the hospital, you're hardly available for anything other than stupid tests and even more stupid food. And if you can choose not to feel so well, then why did you faint?

Would it make you feel better if I bought you a teddy bear from the gift shop?

The tests are not "stupid;" they can provide valuable insight to what occurred and how it affects organic life.

[The slightest of frowns crosses his face at Jaune's insistence that he passed out.] As I have informed you, I did not faint; my senses were temporarily overwhelmed. The act of fainting involves the supply of oxygen being cut off from the brain. [Why he's so defensive of this, he can't say, but if anyone asks he'll claim he's correcting the young man's semantics.

That last bit gets a blank stare from the Vulcan.] I fail to understand how a stuffed bear would improve my health. There are no medicinal properties to one, nor have any studies been published that show a placebo effect be introduced by the accompaniment of the object.
