Mental withdrawl

Mission: Commanding the Elements
Location: Mickey McClane's Quarters
Timeline: During the mission before the destress call

During when Mickey withdrew himself from the bridge and put the ops station on computer control, he just felt if something had happened everything would have gone sour. So it was the only choice given to him at the time as he was locked in his quarters working with Aladdin the black lab sitting next to him.

Mickey running his part as he wasn't going to mess up and let it falter on him. He kept the com-traffic at calmness and maintained order from his point in his job but something was wrong it wasn't going to be pretty so as he was working on his task he contacted Antos in his mind he needed to hear his friend.


"Antos come in" Mickey called him threw his mind as he just needed to hear his voice.


Antos barely heard him he felt more distant then normal to him but the link might be subsiding he thought to himself as he focused on him while dealing with other matters near camp. "Whats the matter Mickey??" Antos stopped momentarily what he was doing as his feeling were shifted a moment then he continued on with what he was doing. "Whats wrong?"

"I had mental withdrawal on the bridge.... had to transfer ops to the computer while i run things down in my office" Mickey said in his mind to his friend

"What caused the change???" Antos said with worry. As he finished off his last patient. As he moved to a chair they were able to salvage for him to sit in to relax.

"I had a bad reaction, as i felt that if i had lashed out it would cause ruckus with the mission. I know what i did was wrong but i had a Don't trust no one moment because i couldn't let anyone do it as it was my responsibility and i didn't want to have a mental breakdown on the bridge and be relieved because i am still sane but i know there will be backlash coming? How's going down on the planet?" Mickey asked his friend?

"Its a major mess here !!" Antos said calmly. "There is little or no protection from the storms."


Mickey banged his hand on his desk. He was really upset with what was going on and there was nothing he can do. "I really wished i was down there helping you right now Aladdin as well" Aladdin joined in as he voiced his opinion "Indeed" Aladdin said nicely

"Your still with me right now that helps me guys." feeling Aladdin intermittently. "As long as I can here you I know I am not alone." Antos said with a sigh as he closed his eyes. As he could almost see through Mickeys eyes.

"Even though i probably screwed myself over. But i would rather hold on to my sanity instead of doing what i did the last time it wasn't my choice. But i wasn't going to spit at Bertrand, he is a damned good man but sometimes it can be aggravating. Thats why i had to do logically despite the consequences." Mickey said to his friend knowing he messed up but he is prepared for it.

"I agree there would be some issues but I will try and make them understand." Antos said trying to reassure Mickey not to worry he knew it would not help anyone right at the moment. "I will try and keep a clear mind to help you the best i can from here." Antos said calmly as he tried to refocus his mind and energy to help Mickey and himself.

"Losing everything, many years ago really got me badly. But when i saw it go i felt a part of me die when i saw my old ship destroyed by the romulans. I was going crazy i had to get some counseling done in order to hang on what's left on whats good in the world" Mickey saw through his friends eyes the storms and all the chaos of the planet. "Damn!" Mickey saw the images of what had happened

"I know it was not easy my friend but I am here to help if I can." Antos said sincerely to him in his mind. "I am one good thing in the world and Aladdin as well." He gave a virtual hug to him. Since he was stuck there fighting for the civilians lives and trying to keep himself going as well.
"I'm not sure whats going to happen But I want you to remember I will always be there to help if I can."

"I love you, bro. You're one of my friends that really get's me. When i was in for psychological testing they hooked me up to machine's and monitors. I felt more machine than man, twisted up like a Christmas tree, you know my insides are on my outside. If you only knew what i felt on the inside i was really facing it down hard. But somehow i passed the testing but it was those damn machines" Mickey said calmly and nicely to his brother in arms.

"I love you to Bro!" Antos said back mentally. "Your safe now! And your more of a man now then you were before." trying to reassure him. As he tried to focus as the storms were getting worse.

"I still feel like crap, i sense something is coming... I also sense it would be a true test of what we are as well as starfleet officers. Yet, when i have those moments i feel more turned off from humanity, You and Aladdin are my best friends i had one close friend back at the Academy. His name was Jack. Jackie-Boy, was my good friend we raised the roof off together and we did crazy adventures too. But when you get back i don't expect you to per-sway everyone's opinion of me man" Mickey said nicely.

"it will pass!" Antos said calmly to his friend. I agree something is coming and its not good." Antos commented as lighting struck just outside his wall. He could feel the left over energy as his hair started to stand up on end. "I understand Mickey but my opinion will never change. Your stuck with me." Antos said with a mental laugh. "What ever happens I am part of you and you are a part of me." Antos said almost that he could die there.

Mickey in his mind just let out a big hearty laugh, he was beginning to feel better. "Your right doctor, but i expect a lot of backlash later. But i also know that it will be crazy as well once the whole ordeal begins to happen. I just hope that, we all can make it out of this alive doc." Mickey said as he drank some mango lemonade

"Agreed there Mickey but I will be there for morale support." Antos said calmly as his hair started to settle down.

"Indeed, but i don't know when the major event will happen because i sense it coming it will be here soon the question is when?" Mickey said to his friend down on the planet

"well the lighting here almost hit me." It was just on the other side of the tent walk You have to see my hair is all stuck up and frizzy now." Antos said quickly. "But I agree its not over yet Its just the beginning."

"Oh my god, sorry man" Mickey couldn't help but laugh as Aladdin joined in laughing out loud.

"Thanks I think..." Antos commented quickly. "Care to feel it?" Antos could not resist the urge to give some of his feeling he had to Mickey and Aladdin. As he turned to see another patient enter his area. He pointed to the table as he started looking them over with a tricorder. He was glad the patient was repetitively unharmed but for simple scrapes and bruises. He fixed the odd wounds and gave a shot for the discomfort he was feeling. as the person left. "What ya think of the hair raising??" as it was his turn to laugh.

"Jeez, as i said bud. I sure wished me and Aladdin were with you down there right now" Mickey said as he looked it his ocarina. "Then, i would have had to play some songs, to help keep the patients spirits up" Mickey said as he began playing his ocarina in his mind making a song up as he would call it the song of time.

In alot of ways im glad you are there.You dont need to be in this area and there is a plague going on down here as well. I am glad your up there and safe." Antos said calmly and sincerely.

Mickey then chose a different song which he would call the sun song even though it would have no effect on the weather system it would just be a little bit of a relief "I don't know if this sun song, would be enough" Mickey said in his mind as he played the song.

"Thank you Mickey I appreciate what your doing." Antos said with a solemn voice. Antos knew Mickey was trying to make him feel better but He had a feeling this might be his last words or thoughts to his friend and pal. "It does give me peace even though I may not get to say good by to my family your the closest I have at this time." Antos shed a tear as it rolled down his cheek. as he caught it with his sleeve of his smock.

As it got harder for him to concentrate because of the emotions were interfering. As he felt Micky slip from his mind briefly. Antos redoubled his efforts to get control of his emotions. Sometimes he wished he was Vulcan so that things would never bother him. He finished the next patient. and sent them to the evacuation area.

Mickey felt something off it was after he put down the ocarina, he fell down in pain as he felt something off the planet. "Antos, The storms are Happening!!!!!!" Mickey shook in pain as he felt the event's happening sooner then expected

Antos barely heard him as he felt a shift in the air. "Remember me!!" He said as Antos mind slipped away.

"No!" Mickey lost the connection to his friend. He sat back up and hug Aladdin.

"Mickey, my friend" Aladdin spoke to him and hugged him

"No......" Mickey said as he just sat down and held his dog
