116McCoy scanned the room warily, his eyes darting to the darkness behind the other two men.
"Spock, Jim any of you notice the two Alien bodies we have over here." Bones said, pointing over their shoulders.
Jim and Spock both turned around at once looking behind them and saw two very dead aliens.
"Well, I do believe these two guys are dead!" said Jim. He knelt down to get a closer look and frowned. He'd never seen this species before. They were a dark grey and about the size of a small human child. They had to have died a long time ago for them to now look mummified.
"Spock, do these guys match anything we have in Starfleet records." Jim questioned.
"Nothing in Starfleet records comes close to these specimens." Spock answered slowly.
Kirk stood and put his chin in his hands thinking.
"Bones is there any way you can tell me how long these two aliens have been dead and Spock I need you to find out what they were doing here. We also need to find out if this young lady is still with us and where she is from and what she is doing here."
Hours Later
"Well Spock what do you have for me?" Jim said.
"Captain I was able to get some useful information from the onboard computer the "Aliens" were called the Auroraion's and they were a dying race. They were the last two of their kind and this young woman was abducted from Earth 246 years ago by them." Spock said.
Kirk walked around the glass cylinder, frowning, deep in thought.
"Why is she here, Spock? What were they doing to her?" Jim said, mostly to himself.
"From what I could gather from the computer, they were augmenting her body so they could appropriate her as a host." Spock said.
McCoy's head snapped up from his tricorder where he was taking readings.
"Those God damn Auroraions were going to use this that child like a puppet!" Bones yelled.
"Spock, did they accomplish their goal?" Jim asked, looking right at Spock.
"Negative. Sir, it seems that when they brought her aboard she also brought a sickness with her that killed them within days of her arrival." Spock said.
"Is she alive Spock?" said Bones gravely.
"Yes Doctor. She is very much alive. She is just in suspended animation." Spock said.
"Well that's that. I've got to get this kid to the sickbay no telling what these monsters did to her." Bones said as he packed up his kit.
"Scotty beams us and one survivor straight to the Sickbay." Jim said.
"Aye, Captain." Scotty's voice rang out over their comms.
A couple hours later they managed to get the young lady out of suspended animation she was breathing on her own. Dr. McCoy ran several scans.
"She is in remarkable good health considering what she's been through, she has some elevated brain activity and she has a mutated gene. I've never seen this mutation before but I've heard of it."
His eyebrows drew together as he pulled up the information on the computer next to the biobed. He pointed out the data to Kirk and Spock.
"There hasn't been a documented case of this mutation since 1329."
"Is she dangerous to us or the crew?" Jim Asked.
McCoy shook his head. "I have no idea Jim!" said the Doctor.
"What can you tell us about this mutation?" asked Spock.
"Spock the "symptoms" of those who have Alexandria's genesis have shimmering, white skin that resists tanning or burning; no body hair other than that which they are born with; purple-colored eyes; a slowing down and even stopping of the aging process; a life span of up to 170 years; their bodies produce little or no waste; their bodies are well-developed; their immune systems are incredibly strong, and resist every disease known to man; they have perfect vision; and they never gain weight. In other words, she's a really "super-human."
McCoy highlighted the pertinent information and downloaded it to two PADDs, handing it to his two colleagues.
"But the Auroraion's said that she brought a disease aboard?" Spock questioned.
