Chapter 2: It's alive

"Yes Bones"

You better get down here you're gonna want to see this

"On my way" Kirk said getting up "Spock you're with me."

Upon entering the med lab they immediately stopped. There with Bones checking him over was a person. A living person. A living, breathing, talking person.

"Holy shit" Kirk whispered wide eyed.

"Fascinating" Spock said in his normal emotionless tone.

.../...

After Harry passed out Kirk, Spock, and Bones relocated to the office.

"So are we actually going to believe that he's from over 200 years ago?" Kirk asked in a highly disbelieving tone.

"Based off of his responses and body language" Spock began "It is apparent that he does."

"Well I had the computer do a scan on his bone composition" Bones said from over by the computer "We should have results by tomorrow."

"While waiting we should discuss another issue." Spock stated.

"And that would be?" Kirk queried.

"What shall we do with him" Spock replied "no matter the results of the doctors scan he'll have to go somewhere."

"Well he's obviously human" Kirk started "We could take him back to Earth."

"Are you mad?" Bones yelped "if he is from over 200 years ago he'd have no clue how to do anything now."

"Agreed" Spock said "further more if we took him to Earth Starfleet would want to study him."

"Well I suppose he could stay here"

"That would be logical" Spock concurred "it would allow us to further study him ourselves in a less invasive way."

"I believe he should have a say in this" Bones stated "and any studying can wait until he's healthy again."

"Alright we have a plan" Kirk said "Spock and I will return to the bridge and bring the crew up to speed you focus on the patient and we'll discuss this again when he wakes up."

So saying he walked to the exit of the med lab with Spock right behind him. Bones quickly got to work patching Harry up. The computer while scanned away checking over the composition of Harry's bones.
