One of the first results to come up for Grunch was a record of a ‘unknown crewman’ aboard the NX-01 Enterprise in 2154, which had symptoms which while not specifically labeled as ‘temporally induced’ did seem to match alot of what Captain Glen was going through though much worse for this unknown crewman. Still if things got worse for the Captain he could expect hair loss/regrowth, decay of body and mind or deaging etc etc all in which eventually would result in his death once way or another! Treatment for this unknown crew member wasnt listed. But a note by the NX-01’s Dr Phlox did indicate he had tried to use a modulated stasis field to ‘sync’ the unknown crew member’s body to lessen or correct the symptoms. Again there wasnt any clear wording of ‘temporal cause’ or the like but the implications were pretty heavily implied. Sadly as was noted it seems this effort failed as said unknown crew member was listed as having ‘died’ within a day or so of contracting said symptoms. That all said the details of how to use this modified stasis field wouldnt be too hard for Grunch to replicate to try to use on the Captain if he so decided.

Another note from the same year of 2154 was aboard the SS-Bonaventure there on a mission the crew had encountered what at the time had been dubbed an unstable wormhole. The instability of the wormhole caused the ship to become stranded to sublight speeds and due to unknown spacial effects begin to exhibit an aging process quite similar to what the Captain was undergoing. The solution to this was two fold, one eventually the ship was able to slowly get out of range of the dangerous anomaly at impulse speeds within three days. The 2nd part was a ‘treatment’ used to slow the aging process of the crew that became effected. What the CMO of the ship at the time did was use hand built stasis fields that were keyed into the ship’s warp core signature for subspace. From what he read here, this acted like an ‘anchor in time’ that while it didnt restore the effected crew members to normal did at least slow or halt the aging/deaging process from getting worse, those already effected had to deal with any problems already done until the ship got out of the range of effect. Looking at the the information this seemed a promising possible solution, one he could setup and indeed probably improve upon. Where the effected Bonaventure crew had to have bulky rerouted stations setup in their sickbay to do their jobs and stay in the ships sickbay. Grunch probably could rig up a ‘back pack’ of sorts that Glen could carry with him that did the same thing.

The next result was in 2266, where upon the Enterprise encountered an ‘earth like’ planet called Miri. The way team lead by Kirk finds that the adult population all above the age of reaching puberty has an advanced aging process afflict them and within days they go insane and die. The disease was originally intended to prolong life, but a mistake caused the death of all the adults. The cure for this was eventually found my McCoy by isolating the virus and creating vaccine. Details of the virus, the long life research found by Spock, and the cure by McCoy were all there. And if Grunch wanted any of which could be replicated given a little time. But again whether this would help Glen wasnt clear though it probably was unlikely.

Other similar results that came up were the ‘aging’ disease that the 1701 Enterprise encountered in 2267 during a resupply effort to the planet of Gamma Hydra IV. There the scientists and colonists were effected by a rapid aging virus including the Enterprise crew. Which was only cured by a radiation and adrenaline based serum which thankfully cured the disease. It was proven his ‘cure’ was highly painful though to humans though quite effective. Whether this would help Glen wasnt clear, though like the above insistence, it probably wouldnt.

For now these four were the biggest results that came up for Grunch....

Grumch began to stroke his long beard as he read the results the last two involving the 1701 he threw out they were too risky and might cause the captain further problems the first two involving the NX-01 Doctor Pholx who had actually been one of the influences on Grunches decision to go into the medical field and what was developed by the Bonnaventure, however, were interesting and might be the answer he began to look into designing something combining the two solutions into one “Nurse!!!” he called from his office “Get me more scans of the captain I need to Calibrate this which hopefully will get the captain back on his feet and out of my Sickbay!” he grumbled
