Ralph Offenhouse is a sixty-three-year-old twentieth/early-twenty-first-century financier who revives aboard the Enterprise and immediately seeks to reassert the rules and privileges of his former world. Disoriented by temporal displacement, he channels confusion into demands — pressing medical staff for costs, invoking legal recourse, and hijacking the ship’s comms to demand an audience with the captain. His transactional mindset and entitlement create procedural disruption, force security involvement, and dramatize the cultural clash between pre‑scarcity commercial habits and Starfleet’s custodial responsibilities.
