A man awoke in a desert. Where am I . . . The man blinked seeing a sun. Earth? What was Earth? Earth is a planet with animal life that domestic and some not domestic. Wild animals. The man got himself upright feeling a pain in his head. Where the hell is Picard? Who was Picard? Was he a woman? This Picard must be a 'he'. Picard is captain of a ship of some sort and he used to be a captain too. Jim. There was a strong feeling to it that he was called that. He saw a furry beast that looked a mix of a bear and a lion.

Okay, he is not on Earth.

He is on Vulcan.

What is Vulcan?

"Don't you look cute." Jim asked.

The Sehlat, the small one, stood upright blinking at him on its hind legs.

"Yes, you are." Jim said.

The Sehlat came on all four legs then walked backwards staring at Jim.

"Afraid to be told you are cute?" Jim asked.

The little one ran off.

"Why . . . that is new." Jim said.

Jim rubbed the side of his head.

How did he know he was on Vulcan?

He knew someone was from Vulcan.

His . . . His. . . His. . . spouse.

His husband.

The love of his life.

"Why am I here?" Jim wondered out loud.

Jim looked over to see a city of some sorts ahead. Maybe the Vulcans can help him regain his memory. He stepped forward then heard a crack. He looked down to see a golden arrow object below. Jim picked up the arrow. He remembered yellow fabric under it and then blue fabric. Different uniforms. He raised a eyebrow, why was that significant? He continued down the path. Did he have a last name? He supposed not. If Bones were here, he might have sound advice on how to regain his memory. Who was Bones? A doctor, obviously. Jim could see unusual birds in the sky that weren't familiar to him. They resembled white eagles and ravens put together with two heads. Now that was creepy. A few of these birds landed on a branch.

He was familiar to the Vulcans.

Yes, he is.

Because his husband had taught him extensively about them and he also learned their civilization by serving alongside him.

Who the hell was his husband?

Where was he?

When was he?

How did he get here?

Who was he?

And why did he have a terrible memory?
