A/N – So yeah this will be my second attempt at a multi-chapter story. The first chapters will probably come rather slowly while I map out exactly where I want this to go so please be patient. Even though I feel that there is no real reason to put this aside from dodging a lawsuit: I do not own anything in this story except my wild imagination.
Chapter 1 – Discovery

"Doctor his heart is speeding up!"
"It's a good start, give him a dose of adrenaline! We don't know how long he was in there."
The doctor walked over to the table in the center of the ship's ER. He looked quite young, his eyes still full of emotion as he looked at the only person, as far as they could tell, who was left alive on that planet. He turned back to his nurse who was currently monitoring his vitals. "I think he's stable enough to enter a pod. Does the lab have his DNA sequenced yet?"
The young nurse walked over to a terminal and spoke in low tones for a moment or two before turning back to the doctor and nodding. "Yes Dr. Gratz, they've already started filling a pod for him."
Dr. Gratz smiled for a second before exclaiming quietly. "Yes! I love it when the system works! What are we waiting for lets get him in there!"
The nurse grinned before performing a mock salute. "Right away sir." and pushed the table through the open door into an adjacent room.
One of the lab workers burst in through another door, one leading to the rest of the ship. Panting slightly he made his way over to the doctor. "Dr. Gratz!"
"Whoa! Calm down there Usag, what happened?" Dr. Gratz started to pull an emergency kit together.
"No-nothing bad." He straightened up a little bit from leaning on his knees. "We found out how long the kid's been in there though."
The Doctor stopped his rummaging for the moment to quark and eyebrow. "Oh? Must be quite interesting for you to run here . . . especially when you're so lax about your training." A sarcastic grin appeared on the doctors face. 'Oh how I love interns.'
Usag frowned for a moment before continuing. "You wont be saying that after you hear this! We were able to carbon date the oil from the skin of whoever put the kid in the capsule! The fact that it was even possible is unimaginable!1" Usag had always been somewhat of a science nerd and it showed in his excitement over this find. "That kid has been asleep for over 400 years!"
'My God...' Dr. Gratz's eyes widened and he stared slack-jawed at the rejuvenation room where Gohan was being placed in a pod.
Usag was still going on about what they had found in the room "-It's incredible! They managed to power the entire room off of the energy the kid put out unconsciously! That tube could've probably held him for another century before it started to fail! They even powered a computer that's just stacked with data! I can't wait until we crack the password!" Usag paused before returning his attention to Gratz. "Hey doc. . ."
"Hm!" Gratz jumped a little bit before turning back to Usag. "Something else?"
"Yeah, This one's a little more in your playground than the engineering of the pod." He smiled slightly. "While we were mapping his code we found some weird stuff in there, part of it matches a saiyajin's structure but the rest of it is completely unknown."
"So he's a saiyin hybrid . . . Interesting. The last of his kind as well..." Dr. Gratz looked through the door as Gohan was suspended in a thick, blue, liquid by his nurse. "Interesting indeed."
