Thera, why don’t ye dare me to lick that? ————

“A couple of reasons. First because someone around here needs to be an adult, and Pavel shouldn’t have to do it all the time.”

The android operated at high computational speeds to provide the Chief Engineer with an appropriate answer to his query.

    ‘1 century, 6 years, 3 months, 2 week, 5 days, 18 hours, 47 minutes, and…’

    ‘— Data!’ Captain Picard interpolated tersely.

    Promptly, the Commander discontinued issuing his answer and comically closed his mouth, resembling an osteichthyes gasping at the surface for oxygen.

    ‘A very long time, Sir,’ Data corrected himself, realising that his estimation could be radically devastating to someone who had been residing in a cryogenic tube for such an extensive period of time.

    The Enterprise crew had transported the cryo tube on board during a routine survey mission of the Orion Nebula. The ship’s long range sensors had detected anomalous readings, and when they succeeded in converting the obtained figures to an intelligible code that corresponded to a 23rd century stasis pod, the Captain had given the orders to secure the object and examine it. Although they had anticipated that it would accommodate a humanoid, they did not expect the passenger to be Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott, Captain Kirk’s Chief Engineer.

    ‘Mister Scott, I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise-D,’ the Captain introduced himself, having regained his composure. ‘These are my First Officer, Commander William T. Riker, my Chief Operations officer, Lieutenant Commander Data, and my Chief Medical officer, Doctor Beverly Crusher,’ he continued with equanimity, gesturing to the senior officers respectively. ‘To capsulise your situation; you were found in a cryogenic tube in the Orion Nebula, and as Commander Data already mentioned, you’ve been asleep for quite some time.’

Scott initially couldn't hold back his laughter, that was a joke, right? It couldn't be true, if it wasn't a joke maybe this was all a dream? No, Scott couldn't have been frozen for so long, this must all be a joke, he kept laughing for a while until finally the laughter died down, the smile faded and little by little the denial disappeared, he was remembering now, remembering everything.

A ship with some ambassadors had been attacked, Scott as an engineer was on the ship to fix things, McCoy as a doctor was taking care of the ambassadors, Kirk was talking to them and Spock was helping, but the ship ended up being taken over by terrorists, in the In the end, almost everyone managed to teleport out of the ship before it exploded in the middle of a warp, the only ones who stayed on the ship had been him and McCoy and both managed to enter a cryogenic tubes and still in the middle of the warp Scott had launched both tubes out of the ship, this explained how no one had found him until now, but it's still a long time.

Scott was no longer listening to what the captain was saying, all the information running through his head was too loud even for him, he had been frozen for so long, what had happened to his friends? Were they okay? Were they alive? Scott didn't seem to be able to hear or see anyone anymore at this point, he was lost in his own thoughts, the whole situation was too tiring, what about his family? How were they?

“I need a moment...”
