Even if it is for our benefit, I hope they do not expect this to change my mind about what has happened. If this is a... reward for the decision made, then really I should have no part in this.

[He sighs, but continues progressing with the queue regardless of his reservations about this whole affair.]

Now though, it is too late. In that case, I will not regret my decision. I will learn from it instead. This is for us, not for them.

[spohkh]

[Spock hums in agreement.

Oh look, do you see that? They're now at the front of the line, and being told that they can go to a set of seats.
The Vulcan pulls the harness over his shoulders.]

A very curious method. Much like archaic space shuttles.

[You ready for this Eley?]

[winds_voice]

Space shuttles?

[He questions, pulling the harness over his own shoulders after they've taken a seat. He knew nothing about the ability to traverse space via man-made machines of course. Did that mean that this... thing was going to send them there? Was that not dangerous?

...oh god, now he feels trapped. This is not good at all, not ready, nope.]

[spohkh]

[Too late.

The ride starts, spinning and turning as the machine takes them up and down. The lights whirl by them as the speeds increase, bringing their seats higher, the ride's music blasting in their ears.]

[winds_voice]

[Oh god... suddenly they start moving and at first Eley doesn't mind, he can go with it. But then the ride spins faster, the music and lights assaulting them from all directions and the ride soon becomes uncomfortable for the Spirit. Eley can hear the screams of the other passengers around them and wonders how exactly this is supposed to be a good thing.

...but before he could dwell on that thought for much longer, the capsule they're sitting in is fired up into the air at great speed, like a giant slingshot and it doesn't seem to be showing any signs of stopping.

Eley loved to fly and the height really didn't bother him, but being trapped inside a metal capsule with no way to get out made things far, far worse. Weren't they going to crash? Luckily not, the capsule goes so high but not too high, and they end up orbiting the moon instead.

For a brief moment, Eley forgets the way his stomach seems to be trying to evacuate his body and realises that this is the highest he's ever been... this was a taste of space?]

[spohkh]

[Spock can't really see Eley's reactions due to the harness around his shoulders, so he's merely taking everything in like he usually does...

...with separated interest.
He analyzes the stars (that aren't real), calculating the speeds and arcs of the ride as he mutters one word.]

Fascinating.

[After about four minutes, the ride starts to slow, coming back to its starting position.]

[winds_voice]

[It's hard to notice that anything's particularly wrong with Eley as the ride comes to a stop and they're released from their harnesses.

When he tries to stand however, the shock of adrenaline kicks in and the Spirit discovers that he can't stop shaking. In fact he doesn't walk so much as stagger away from the Orbiter, trying to get free of the crowds and ever aware that there are uneasy, uncomfortable feelings gripping him in his stomach.]

...I do not feel well.

[He manages to utter.]

[spohkh]

[Spock's brows furrowed in concern as he gently lead Eley away from the ride.]

Are you able to list your symptoms? In what way do you not feel well?
[There were so many things that could have gone wrong, and Spock just wants to help his friend.]

[winds_voice]

[How does he feel? How to describe it... Honestly, Eley's afraid to talk too much. Or do anything but sit still for that matter. He's thankful that Spock's with him to keep an eye on him and get him some air though.]

My stomach appears to be churning and I cannot stop myself from shaking.

[He'd say that he felt like he was going to throw up if he knew what that even meant.]

[spohkh]

Do you feel as though your stomach is going to rebel? [Fancy way of asking if Eley wants to throw up. The Vulcan gingerly rubs the spirit's back, steering him towards a seat.]

Please, rest for a moment. Do you require medical attention?

[winds_voice]

Rebel?

[Eley was trying to work out exactly what he meant by that phrase. Of course he didn't believe his stomach to be some kind of separate entity from himself, but a rebellion could be a way of describing how he felt, albeit it a slightly strange way.

He sat down at his friend's request, trying to stop the shaking. He did feel a little better now he was back on solid ground at least.]

I have never... travelled at such speeds before, nor have I ever flown so high. On the one hand it was a rather awe-inspiring experience. But I do not believe me body approved of it.

I am sure it just needs time to... settle.

[Nor did the body's of some of the other passengers judging by the rather unsettling sounds neaby...]

[spohkh]

[Spock gently places his hand on the back of Eley's head.]

Place your head between your knees and breath deeply, and evenly. Your condition should improve within minutes.

[He's a professor at heart, he's had to deal with sick cadets before.]

[winds_voice]

[It seemed like an odd thing to say, but Eley assumed Spock knew what he was talking about, and since he was gently coaxing him into the mentioned position, the Spirit does as he instructed. He leans down and tries to slow his breathing, at the same time attempting to take his mind away from how he was feeling elsewhere in his body.

As time passed, Eley did start to feel more at ease again and the shaking gradually subsided. He leaned back up at that, taking one more deep breath.]

Thank you... I believe I will be all right. Yet I would not like to repeat that experience again.

[spohkh]

[Spock was concerned....]

This is abnormal. Your true form is a dragon, why is it that flying and heights would affect you? The speeds that we reached would be no greater than what you would normally experience just before touchdown.

[The Vulcan had been noticing different things from other people too..]
