Well, That Was Weird
19/11/13 19:00 It had begun during an away mission. The away team was in trouble, they were surrounded, ambushed by the planet's inhabitants, and suddenly.... they weren't. At least half a dozen warriors brandishing spears and bows and arrows were closing in on them. Kirk had closed his eyes, shielding Ensign Zahra with his body as he screamed at the Enterprise to beam them up, dammit, when suddenly.... everything went quiet. The warriors had disappeared. The team hadn't had a chance to explore their surroundings, as Scotty came through for them at that moment and they were beamed up to safety.
They had all written it off as excellent timing, which it was, but it had stuck with the Captain. He knew that a transport beam wouldn't shield them from projectiles immediately. It would be beamed with them. No enemy weapons came through with them, so that meant no enemy weapons had been flying at them in the moment. He knew that somehow, their enemies had all disappeared. And he couldn't figure out how.
He hadn't even mentioned it to Bones or Spock, the two people he trusted the most, for fear of them declaring him unfit for duty. He'd tell them later, when they were back out in the black, not parked at a space station where Starfleet could conveniently put him on desk duty until the mystery was fully explained.
