Fuller made his way, laboriously to Main medical. Each step took more & more effort. The doors to medical opened with the standard "whoosh". As he entered the duty corpsman could tell something was wrong and rendered aid and helped him onto a bio bed. Fuller was now waiting for the CMO.
Bandit, Commander Fuller. If my vitals do not stabilize in time, transport me to USS Bandit & release rescue treatment in aerosol format through internal ventilation. Mark

Rotek rushed out of his office when he heard the doors open. Running to the side of the biobed he grabbed a tricorder and began scanning the man. As he scanned, he said "What's the situation, what is wrong with him?"

Fuller grabbed the Doctors tunic sleeve & said in a labored voice, "Star Fleet, Medical, Charlie Foxtrot three Zero Eight One". Chatham's eyes rolled back in his head & he passed out. Now slightly phasing.

Not understanding what the man had said for a moment, Rotek then realized what he thought was gibberish was actually a computer file. Rushing to a nearby console, he entered the file name, and noticed he had to put in his security clearance. Reading the file quickly, he realized what he had to do. Carefully, as to not let any information slip about Fullers file, he said to a nearby nurse "Please get a anyon field generator from the storage locker immediately." The nurse nodded, confused, and rushed to the locker. Soon, Rotek was setting the device to its highest safe setting, and began running it over the phasing man.

Chatham began to rephase with the current reality. Thanks to the quick thinking of Dr. Rotek.
"Dr. Rotek, this is USS Bandit. Verifying treatment of Commander Fuller."

Rotek looked up as he heard a voice fill Sickbay. He was slightly confused, but replied "Hello, who is this? I can verify that Commander Fuller is slowly recovering from his condition." Returning to his scans, he smiled slightly, thankful that the spasms had begun to subside. He hoped he would soon stabilize."

Voice print verified Doctor Rotek. Thank you Doctor. Bandit out.

Chatham began to wake & slowly looked around. Paraphrasing an ancient saying, Fuller stated the question, " . . . Doctor 'Rotek' I presume . . .". Fuller started to sit up, but his body was still very sore & racked with pain.

Placing a gentle hand on his shoulder, Rotek said "Please Commander, rest. You've been through a ... challenging experience and your body needs to rest. I will have one of the nurses make you comfortable in one of the biobeds. Once your vitals stabilize, I will release you to your quarters for further recovery."

"Thanks Doc. Um, can we talk? I had my 'condition' under control. Did this ship do any temporal ops recently? Residual chronitons could have caused this. Also I wanted to ensure that you understood my 'condition' if it happens again. But, I hope it won't."

Thinking for a moment, Rotek replied "No we haven't Commander. I'm a bit concerned about what happened. I do understand the basics of your condition, but perhaps when you are better, we can discuss it further so I can prepare for any further complications."

"Well, Doc, it all started back about 1768. Southwest Territory United States of American, Earth, Sol sector. I would have been born that year, but was still in my mothers womb when we were brought from the past to that realities 25th Century. Captain Data was rescuing my father, a Star Fleet Officer, from a temporal accident.

Later in my life, when I was a Lieutenant, I came from a future reality and universe, to this one via a shuttle accident. The cause was due to the warp core, nebula energy reaction through the nacelle. So now because I've been through, now two universes, & across hundreds of years back and forth, I have Chrono-Phase disorder. My condition had been last severely exacerbated by bilitrium radiation during an away mission while aboard the USS Avalon. So as you see, Doc, the condition can be exacerbated by certain chronometric situations and other radiations. And that is the short version. "

Nodding in understanding, Rotek replied "That all sounds very ... complicated Lieutenant. Thanks for sharing it with me however. I will keep it confidential of course. Please let me know if you have any further discomfort. For now, please rest, and soon I will have someone help you to your quarters to further recover."

Chatham passes out again from the Chrono-phase Disorder.

=/\= SD 241604.19 Med bay ICU, Coma division =/\=

The ward is eerily quiet. The only sound is the repetitious beeps of the life support and monitoring equipment. Fuller's begins to beep faster. The ICU nurse comes in as Chatham begins to stir.

His eyes begin to flutter as he comes around. His surroundings are unfamiliar and he tries to sit up, but is restrained by all bio bed monitor over his chest.
