The medical wing of the Quarter was busy, making sure their newest patient did not die from exposure to a vacuum. Since it appeared he was a victim of a space-fold accident, they did a search in the database based on his appearance, checking for missing person reports in the last decade. Unfortunate, they had yet to find any identification for him. So far he seemed to be recovering quite well, having an above average vacuum resistance. Still, there was a potential for brain damage due to the long time spent without oxygen.

Gilliam: "So this is the young man the pixies rescued. Where there have been a few cases of space-fold accidents transporting a passenger to a different location than a ship, this is the first case where someone appears without a spacesuit."

Canaria: "True, it is rather strange, so far he seems to be recovering quite nicely, but it is really a miracle that he survived long enough to get here, and I am amazed he only passed out upon reaching the Quarter. Unfortunately, we have yet to find any identification based on his facial profile, and since he is not a member of the SMS, we don't have the jurisdiction to perform a DNA test without his consent."

"Well, I hope he recovers, I am sure the pixies would love to see the boy they rescued."

"Well, Raramia has been around a few time to check on the patient. I will let everyone know when he awakens."

-Space Fold-

Catherine Glass was currently annoyed when her father asked her to check on a patient found by the SMS drifting in space after what was presumed to be some kind of space-fold accident. Apparently, based on bylaws, a liaison of the frontiers government were required to be present when a missing person is found within their airspace. Of course it was not like identifying the patient was much of a hassle, frankly, it would be a good vacation from her normal work. However, she was annoyed that Ozma would probably be there, and she did not feel like to opening old wounds.

"Well", she thought to herself, "might as well make the most of it," as she headed to her car so she could drive to the place where the quarter was docked.

-Space Fold-

Back at the Quarter the crew were abuzz talking about there patient, he had been unconscious for 36 hours but was making tremendous recovery progress. Canaria predicted that he would wake up within the next 12 hours.

"Wow, he looks like my old sempai," said Makoto, a tall brunette haired young woman assigned to the pixies maintenance team.

"You say that about every cute boy we meet," said Rei, her teammate, a black haired young woman only a few centimeters shorter than Makoto.

As Rei and Makoto were continuing their conversation about Makoto's sempai, in another part of the ship, Gilliam and Ozma were having their own conversation.

Gilliam: "So I heard that President Glass personally asked Catherine to check on our patient, something about protocol and whatnot."

Ozma: "Well, I might go for a practice run when she gets here."

Gilliam: "Nonsense my friend, there's no need for that."

Ozma: "True... I also wanted to meet the patient when he wakes up."

-Timeskip 3 hours-

When Ranma awoke, he noticed he was in some kind of hospital bed, though the equipment looked unfamiliar and futuristic. Considering the girl who rescued him piloted some kind of futuristic mecha, he probably was in the far future. Considering that he and his fathers attempt to change the past last time ended in failure, he reasoned to himself that he probably couldn't return home and thus had to make the most of his new life.

Looking around, Ranma noticed the same red haired girl in from the mecha asleep in a chair near his bed, though he swore earlier she was 12 meters or so tall. As he wondered if he should wake her or not, she stirred and slowly awoke.

"Did I fall asleep" thought Raramia as she took note of her surroundings. Remembering that she had been watching the patient for the last 12 hours or so, she noticed something different about him, he was moving. Deciding to introduce herself she said "Hello my name is Raramia."

Responding to the redhead, Ranma replayed "I am Ranma, thanks for the save."

Blushing, Raramia replied "No problem, it was my duty"

-Space fold-

Canaria awoke from her desk with a start as when an alarm went off, indicating that the patient was awakening. Noticing that it had been beeping for the past 5 minutes, She realized he was most likely fully awake and she should probably go check on him.

AN: and that all for now. Ranma is now awake and has met his rescuer. Next chapter Ranma will meet the rest of the crew and his curse might be uncovered.
