It had been four days since they had removed the girl from her frozen slumber, and she still was not responding. Her vital signs showed that her body was functioning, but Bones could not get those eyes of hers to open. He sighed and placed his tricorder on the small table beside her bed. All those years - 263 to be exact - in that cryogenic sleep must have taken a toll on her, and why wouldn't it? Bones was not present when Khan was awakened, so maybe this was normal for these...super Humans.
"Captain, I need you down in the Med Bay ASAP." He called up to the bridge.
"On my way." Kirk replied. Bones crossed his arms and looked over the body in front of him one more time. She looked so young and so fragile. It was hard to think that she and 71 other members of her crew were just like Khan; killing machines. Kirk ran into the room where Bones stood; out of breath.
"Is she not responding?" He grabbed her wrist and pressed it gently. "She has a pulse."
"I know this, Jim." Bones replied in a huff. "It makes no damn sense. The cryogenic sleep should have warn off by now." Her chest rose from her steady breathing, the heart monitor recorder her healthy heart beating, so why couldn't she open her eyes?
"Maybe it's supposed to take this long." Kirk reasoned. "We don't exactly know how long it took Khan, and I sure as hell am not awakening him to check."
Bones chuckled. "That would not be one of your smartest ideas." He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at her monitor. "That's all I needed, Jim. I'll call you down if anything major happens."
Not that it will. Bones thought to himself.
Jim patted him on the back and reported back to the bridge. Leaving Bones with the comatose superhuman.
