Bones injected the tribble with the blood of Khan. A two hundred plus year old criminal sitting in med bay was unnerving, even for a former marine. Bones kept the tribble as a reminder that not everything is deadly. Bones took out the needle then placed it to the side on a tray. He went over to the machine that had a microscope with the DNA of Khan on the petri dish.

"I know who you are." Khan said.

Bones was amused by that.

"The man checking if your DNA is human, yes, I am that man." Bones said.

He saw some striking differences in the blood. It was red but multiplying. The multiplication was beginning to stop. The wound healed itself easily on Khan's part but not as quickly. Some of the blood cells were turning a dark red due to being taken out of their owner.

"Does the name John 'Reaper' Grimm ring a bell?" Khan asked.

Bones turned away from the microscope.

"I'll say no." Bones lied.

"Liar." Khan said.

Bones frowned.

"Who is this 'Reaper'?" Bones asked.

"Former Marine who participated in the mission to Mars," Khan said. "And was the only survivor with his sister, Samantha Grimm, of a deadly mutation of the 24th added chromosone."

"I heard Sarge went bazerk." Bones said.

Khan smiled.

"That wasn't on the file." Khan said.

"And what makes you think I am him?" Bones said.

"Your face is very recognizable," Khan said. "I read numerous files during my free time.Your first one came up and then the second . . and then the others. I have read of your many lives. Leonard McCoy is just one of many people you've pretended to be. What are you going to do when everyone you know dies? Make another name for yourself, start over, and begin in a different occupation as before? Such as Robert James William, Alexander Lee Henry, Philip Henry, and this . . . current incarnation . . . Are you scared to tell the truth?" The two security guards did not like where this conversation was going. "Say, it was easy for me to assume you were the same person. What is the chance that your dear young captain knows?"

"He doesn't." Bones said.

Jim walked in.

"Bones, I am going to need Khan." Jim said.
