THE 37'S: Episode 20

Part C

divider

The away team leave Voyager.

Janeway: "Nice day."
Kim: "I've locked on to the distress signal. 1.5 kilometres on a bearing of two-four-six.
Chakotay: "Wait a second, I've got something else. There's a high concentration of trianium particles, bearing two-two-five, a little over a kilometre away. It's some kind of power source."

Janeway: "Two teams. Chakotay, yours investigate the power source. Tuvok, Kim, you're with me."

When they find the source of the S.O.S. signal, Janeway exclaims: "My God!"

Their find.

Tuvok: "The metal is an aluminum alloy. It appears to be an ancient Earth aircraft."
Kim: "The S.O.S. call is coming from inside.

He enters and makes his way to the cockpit where he looks around.
Janeway and Tuvok are watching him from the door.

He tells them: "I found the AM transmitter. From what I can tell it's sending out an automated S.O.S."

Janeway: "What about the power source? Somehow I find it hard to believe the battery on this aircraft has been running for four hundred years."

Kim: "I don't recognise the power signature. Hold on, Captain. I've found what appears to be an alien fusion-based generator. It's hooked up to the AM transmitter."

Chakotay signals and speaks via comms: "Chakotay to Janeway."
Janeway, taps her combadge and replies via comms: "Go ahead, Commander."

Chakotay, via comms: "We've located the source of the trianium readings. It appears to be some sort of mine shaft. I'd like to bring out another security detachment before we go inside."
Janeway, via comms: "Good idea. I'll join you. Janeway out." To Tuvok: "I want the two of you to analyse the alien generator. See what you can find out about this S.O.S. call."
Tuvok nods.

Unknown to any of them, an inhabitant of the planet is secretly observing them from a hillock.

Janeway, Torres, Chakotay, Ayala and security personnel enter the 'mine'. With tricorders out and scanning, to light their way they are using wrist-mounted beacons. They see a room and artificial light ahead.

Torres: "I'm picking up something directly ahead, some kind of power signature, fusion-based. This looks like some kind of cryostasis chamber."

The chamber - the units line each side wall.

Janeway: "How many bodies are there?"
Torres: "Eight. And the equipment is still functioning."

Janeway wipes the window of one of the units. Inside is the upright body of a Japanese man, a soldier. "He's human," observes Janeway. "And from the clothes, I'd say he's from the same era as the vehicle we found."

Torres: "His lifesign readings are minimal but he's alive."

Chakotay: "Captain, according to these readings there are five other cryostasis chambers nearby. No lifesigns in any of them. This appears to be the only one with people inside."
Torres: "There's another male over here."

Janeway wipes another window.

"This one's a female. She's wearing some sort of leather jacket, and a pair of gold wings. There's a name tag here. I think it's 'A, period, E, A, R, H, A, R, T'. Earhart. Earhart. 'A'..." She turns to the others, astounded: "Amelia Earhart!"
