"I really can't explain it, Captain," Pulaski drawled as Picard rushed into sickbay to see Ensign Haskell sitting up on a bed, speaking to a nurse. "One minute I was preparing to put him in the morgue and the next, his eyes had opened and he was asking what he was doing in sickbay."
"Hmm," Picard said. "What time did this occur, Doctor?"
"Oh, around oh-fifteen hundred hours, I reckon."
"Computer," the captain said, "At what time did the Enterprise exit the void into normal space?"
"1517 hours," the computer stated.
The captain raised his eyebrows in Pulaski's direction. "Nagilum must have reversed the ensign's death. After all, they can't accuse of us of being savages if they're going around ending lives, can they?"
"I suppose," Pulaski said. "By the way," she added as Picard made to leave sickbay, "this sort of strange thing doesn't happen too often here, does it?"
Picard thought of all the 'strange things' that had happened on the Enterprise in the short time he'd been captain. He opened his mouth, then closed it again quickly.
"No," he said finally. "No, of course not."
