Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
The sandstorm seemed to come out of the blue, a sudden gust of wind that turned into a maelstrom of dust and particles that blocked visibility and made breathing difficult. It hit while the party was scattered, Spock and McCoy scouting for life forms, Kirk and the others... unknown, at this point.
The storm lasts for two hours, but it's enough to bury them and their makeshift shelter of a tarp under two feet of sand, so Spock digs them out, pushing up until he breaks back out into dusty air. "Are you well, Doctor?"

no subject
Spock takes his tricorder back, adjusting the settings to look for geological formations rather than life signs. "There may be a rocky outcropping three kilometers from here." Spock nods in the direction. For now, all they need is shade. They have a cover that will provide protection from the wind, but it's not enough to keep McCoy out of direct heat. Spock will search for water as he looks for signs of the captain.
One step at a time.
