Author's notes: A warning, this story contains some bad language. It takes place a few months after the series finale "What you leave behind." I haven't written something in a very long time, so I hope you enjoy it. I also hoped that I managed to catch the characters voices well. That was the most difficult thing about this fic. There are a few cameos in the fic. Kudo's to those who catch them.
This story is dedicated to a very dear friend of mine named Laura. She has been an amazing friend to me for many years. This one is for you, Laura.
The long, deep sleep

Prologue
"Energize." A mellow voice ordered.
With an orange sparkle the sleeping form of the young woman appeared on the table. She murmured and started moving.
"Inject the sedative and fit the equipment for the memory dump."
A hypospray touched her neck and a pair of grey scaly hands started fitting the black equipment on her forehead.
"Proceed."
The lights on the equipment and on the console in the corner started flickering.
"Power up the stasis tube."
