Revived Twenty First Century Humans

A small group of twenty-first-century humans restored aboard the starship and treated as the ship's "guests." They arrive confused, vulnerable, and disoriented, prompting clinical curiosity from shipboard personnel and urgent ethical debate among command. Crew members oscillate between protective care and security protocol, turning the group into an operational dilemma that forces immediate decisions about custody, medical assistance, and diplomatic exposure. Their presence catalyzes moral conflict aboard the Enterprise and serves as a humanizing counterpoint to the broader strategic tensions in the episode.
