"You would be amazed by all this new technology we have in place," Captain Willian Targaryen said as his wife lay upon the biobed. "New armor, enhanced phasers, our sensors can detect things sectors away and those are short range scans. I can't wait until you wake-up to see them."

It had been months since they arrived in this new, untamed future. Shortly after they had arrived here his wife had been injured. They implemented a medical treatment to save her, but an unexpected complication had put her into a coma. Now they were in this new realm and she still wasn't here.

He had been pushing himself too hard and he pushed her too hard. Since they got to this godforsaken reality he had barely seen his children, barely seen his family, and been working nearly nonstop. He could not keep going this way anymore than she could stay in his state. He needed her back if only for his own sanity.

Sitting next to her, he put his hands in hers, "You have to wake up."

"It's too early," she answered groggily.

He paused, looking up at her in shock, "Elle?"

She looked around, "I'm in Sickbay?"

"For two months," he answered as he moved to see her better. "We've been in the 32nd Century for two months."

"32nd Century? How long did you let me sleep?" She smirked as she asked.

"Not as long as you'd think," He reached for his communicator, "Mom get in here."

She sighed, "Your mother?"

"She was aboard the ship," he answered as he heard the doors slide open. He looked over, "Mom, she's... she's awake."

Doctor Kiala motioned and a holographic replica of her daughter-in-law appeared in the space above her. It focused in on her brain and the scans showed that there were no irregularities detected. The treatment regimen worked. "I'll be damned. It worked!"

Willian looked at his wife silently, dumbstruck and in awe of her. He smiled, saying the only thing that came to mind, "Hi."

She laughed and embraced him, "Hi."
