_{[ He didn't think he had inhaled any. He didn't think he was compromised. He shouldn't have been. His helmet was still secure and reported no damage to his suit. Had some leaked into the shuttle before he had put his helmet on? He didn't know, and right now, it didn't matter. It was done, and... and Krall was here. The swarm was here, spinning around him like a school of piranha waiting to strike, to strip everything from him.}

_{He jerked when he heard someone calling, twisting sharply and seeing a figure in a suit heading his way. Not Krall. Krall hadn't looked like that. What voice? He knew it. Intimately almost. ]}

Kaidan?!

[bi_otic]

[He doesn't know what the swarm is, now that he's closer. The shifting mass seems tangible, but it doesn't inspire the same terror in him that it does in Kirk. He still knows something dangerous when he sees it. There's no time to question the threat.]

Get inside! Come on!

[ He stays in the doorway, his arm gesturing sharply for the other man to come to him. He watches the swarm encircling closer and closer in the corner of his eye.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk turned to obey, and then spotted Kaidan's ship, and his heart rattled with panic. He clutched Kaidan, shaking his head wildly. ]}

No! No he'll tear it apart again! The ship won't survive it!

[bi_otic]

[Kaidan holds him back, afraid that he'll get out of reach again if he doesn't. There's a wild look in Kirk's eye, but it's also something like a million light years away, and he doesn't like it.]

Then we'll outrun it - whatever it is. I won't let it happen.

[Meanwhile, the mist starts to into the open door, filling the empty space. Kaidan eyes the swarm with his own kind of concern. Even without recognition, it's mildly terrifying. Something almost Biblical in proportion.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ It shouldn't scare him this much. He had beaten Krall before, but at cost. So much cost. So, correction, yes, it should scare him this much. Because those things took down one of the most advanced ships in the fleet - in a matter of minutes. It made his stomach twist and his heart stop and tears prick his eyes as he recalled watching those little pods float away, the pieces of his ship tugged towards the earth. ]}

You can't. You can't - it's a bunch of smaller ships, they'll outmaneuver you.

_{[ This wasn't like him. Why couldn't he think rationally? Why could he only see those darting shadows and want to vomit? ]}

[bi_otic]

[He tries pull Kirk away from the door, steering him towards the seats. He needs to get this under control]

I've made it out of worse. James...it's...it's just something about the mist. Remember? It's not real. You just...gotta trust me...okay? I'll get us out of the mist and we'll be fine.

[He sounds more sure than he feels. The seals in his own suit aren't made for this either, and the uneasiness is starting already.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk's stance finally breaks and he lets himself be pulled, Kaidan's words tugging at the logical part of him. He had destroyed the swarm. He remembered doing it. So they couldn't be here - right? ]}

He can't be here. I watched him die...

_{[ He stumbles up the steps behind Kaidan, panting hard, every part of him tense, as if ready to flee. ]}
