Trip was careful to make sure that Malcolm didn't see the Tactical
Alert on his computer screen. 'He doesn't need this right now. God by the
end of this were both gonna need therapy!' They were both just laying there
with nothing being said. Malcolm had drifted off to sleep and Trip wasn't
far off form sleep. 'How is it that I fall for the emotionally
traumatized?' Trip said jokingly, just as he fell asleep. "G'night Mal."

Jon was very curious about what was transported into Sickbay. From what little he got from Phlox it wasn't something that posed much of a threat to the ship. As Jon made his way to Sickbay, his head was reeling with all he had absorbed in the past 24 hours. Soon they will be able to detect the mysterious ship. Trip and Malcolm. Now this. There was no way he was going to make sense of this. Just too much for a mind that hadn't rested for over 24 hours.
As Jon came into Sickbay he found what appeared to be a small cylindrical pod in the middle of the room. There was a piece of glass, but it was completely frosted over. He didn't recognize any of the marking. There were some obvious ones however. 'NASA? What is going on? "Ah Captain I'm glad you came. I see you noticed the delivery. Well I began to scan it and I found odd readings." "Those are Earth markings on the pod." "Yes, inside is a human. Judging from the chronometer he's been in space for over 150 years." "It is a he in there?" "Oh yes my scans reviled much as to his physical nature." "This isn't something I expected." Jon then went to the nearest comm. panel and called a staff meeting on the bridge.
****
Both Malcolm and Trip woke to Jon's call for the senior staff. They quickly got up and straightened out their uniforms which both men fell asleep in. Once they looked presentable they made their way to the bridge. The rest of the staff was there waiting for them to arrive. Once Trip and Malcolm took a seat Jon began to inform them of the new situation. "As some of you are aware there was a derelict ship that transported something over to Sickbay. Well that something was a pod. A primitive cryogenics unit form Earth. Dr. Phlox is going to explain." Everyone was now fixed on what Phlox was about to say.
"Well my preliminary scans show that he is from Earth, and that the gender is male. From what little I've learned he's been frozen for about 150 years. Which would place him before the Third World War. He would have to concept of space travel, well at least not at warp speeds, or having any contact with alien races. Enough said there is a problem. The unit is beginning to malfunction. He must be removed or he will die." "What about... what about alien bacteria that we are immune to would he be able to fight them off?" Malcolm was getting very interested in this conversation. "Or does he pose a health threat to the rest of us?" Phlox was very quick to respond. "He is no threat to us, and his immune system should be able to fend off alien bacteria."
"So what are we waiting for?" Everyone turned to Jon to hear the answer. "We don't have any room. We had to make room for the military personnel on board. We just don't have room for one more." Jon finished and looked around, and seeing Malcolm lost in thought. "Sir what if one of us shared a room? We all have single rooms, but if we put another bed in then there would be room." "Yes Malcolm, but who is going to be willing to share their room?" "Captain, if my memory serves me correctly there is still my room. What I mean to say is that I only need one week a year to hibernate so he could use my room." Phlox turned to everyone looking for support.
"You sure your willing to give all that up?" Jon looked at Phlox. "Quite sure. I made particular preparations that during the refit of the ship I was out like a light. So at least for the duration of this mission until we return to Earth I won't be needing my room." "Ok does anyone have any objections to waking him up? No? Good then Doc you can go do the honours." Phlox then left to make preparation so for his room and to wake the human in Sickbay. "Lieutenant Hess to Commander Tucker." "Go ahead" "The installments are done. The sensors are good to go." "Thanks Tucker out. Well you heard her Cap'n," "Ok let's do this. Malcolm I want torpedoes and phases cannons ready to go with hull plating. T'Pol I want to know the minute they are disabled."
"Sir they have just powered up weapons!" Sotils had just got on the bridge and already there was bad news. "Can they detect us?" "Not that I can tell sir." "Sir! We are receiving a message from the ship!" "Let's hear it." "This is Captain Jonathan Archer of the earth ship Enterprise. Release us or we will be forced to fire upon you." "Sir what do we do?" "Get us out of here. We have served our purpose for now."
"Sir there is no respon-""Tucker to Archer." "go ahead Trip." "Sir we got warp drive you can take us out now." "Understood Trip, Archer out. Travis you heard the man. Get us the hell out of here." "Aye sir." Travis was glad to get away. He had always heard stories about graveyards like this. He didn't want to stick around to find out if their true or not. Once they were clear of the graveyard everyone was breathing a little easier. "Phlox to Captain Archer." "Go ahead Phlox." "I've begun the defrosting process. I will keep you informed as to his progress." "Ok Doc, Archer out."
Jon was very excited about this. This person was a time capsule of 150 years ago. "Sir what are we going to do with him on board? I understand this is to save his life and all, but will he get in the way?" Jon thought about that and then answered. "I don't know Malcolm. We'll find out about him and see what he knows. He might not be able to do normal ship work, but maybe he can help in other ways." Jon hoped that the person in sick bay had some intelligence.
As they continued their previous course, everyone was very anxious to see this person. 'How will he react to a jump of 150 years?' That and many other questions were on the minds of everyone. It was so expected to be finish at anytime that no one noticed that the next shift was there to take over. So they all slowly made their ways to their rooms for a good night sleep. They were now on their way again to find the Xindi weapon, adding another member to the crew. Lots of things no one expects on a starship.

While everyone else slept Dr. Phlox was busy with the cryogenic chamber. As far as he could tell the occupant was returning to the present. Phlox was lightly disappointed for the lack of information on the occupant, no name nothing apart from one line. "To save those who need saving." Whatever that meant. As the night progressed so did hi understanding of his unknown patient. His scans showed that he was a normal human being. There were no handicaps that he could determine. Fit for his average age group. As he continued scanning the patient, the patient slowly came to.
"Please don't move you were just unfrozen. Take it easy as you regain your strength." "Ok... where am I?" His voice was soft and took lots of his strength. "All in good time your questions will be answer-""Your not human." Trying to push himself into a sitting position only to fall back on the bed. "I told you no to do that. You need your rest! No I am not human I am Denobulan, the doctor of this ship. "Oh no, you still never told me-" The patient simply fell asleep within moments. 'There is no point calling the Captain here tonight. My patient is not going to wake up anytime soon and the Captain could probably use the rest. I can wait until morning.'
Trip, after trying to fall asleep was beginning to dream horrible thoughts of Malcolm dying. It even went on long enough for Trip to go decide to visit the good doctor. "Doc do ya have anythin' that I can take so I can sleep?" Trip walked in without thinking and began calling for Phlox. "Shhhhh Commander the patient is resting. What was it you came here for?" Phlox's voice was barely audible yet the message still got across. "Do ya have anythin' to help me sleep?" "Still with the nightmares about your sister?" "No something else..." "Care to talk about it?" "No, can I just get somethin' so I can sleep?" "Of course, there you are... pleasant dreams."
A/N: Introducing my original character...I will be honest; very poorly done I know. But I would still like a review. Can't we all be reviewers?!?
