Scene: Unknown | |||
Rick Payne was the type of person who acted on impulse. Most of the time his impulse was rewarded with success but not always. The fact that his impulse was often an unconscious urge that had him acting before thinking was something that worried him to no end. Because, while usually successful, there were the times that his impulses, his quick non-thinking action were wrong. This discrepancy was something that, as a security officer, he wrestled with constantly. He had no doubt that he had moved up the ranks quickly due to the actions his impulses had helped inspire. But as his responsibilities increased he became more and more leery of counting on unconscious success. Inevitably his hunch would prove incorrect and with so much more riding on his decisions, his actions, the consequences were beginning to outweigh the rewards. So, he was trying now to make an effort to make sure he thought before he leaped. Considering the situation at hand it probably didn't matter either way but he was determined to consider all possibilities before he did something rash. Other then trying his phaser on the cell walls and forcefield he had simply opted to sit quietly and scrutinize the cell in the hopes of divining a way out. So far he had little success. | |||
With the clock ticking he was beginning to get more apprehensive about their chances of escape. Rick was also concerned about what had happened to their navigator who, according to reports from Captain Steele still lay motionless. It was his job to see to the safety of the crew and he was doing his job if he couldn't spring him self from this cell. Suddenly he grabbed for his phaser and pointed it towards the wall. He held his finger on the trigger for several seconds more out of a need to channel his growing frustration then out of any real hope that this time it work. But this time it did work. With a roar of triumph he leaped from the floor and charged through the door, to find himself in a frozen wasteland. | |||
