Clare Raymond

Claire Raymond was a human female born on Earth in the 20th century. She was a homemaker, and had several children.

In 1994, Raymond died from what appeared to be an embolism. In reality, Raymond was a victim of the Eugenics Wars, having died in a poison gas attack. Following her death, her husband had Raymond placed in cryostasis in the hope that someday advances in medical science would eventually be able to revive her. Her frozen remains were placed on board a spacecraft with several other individuals - including Ralph Offenhouse and L.Q. "Sonny" Clemonds.

Initally placed in Earth orbit, the spacecraft drifted out of orbit, and the solar system as well. Eventually, in 2364 the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) encountered the spacecraft containing the frozen bodies. Only the bodies of Offenhouse, Raymond, and Clemonds were intact - the bodies of the others had decayed during the long journey. Lt. Commander Data and Lt. Worf brought the bodies back to the Enterprise, where Dr. Crusher thawed them out.

While Raymond and the others were being revived, the Enterprise began to travel to the Netural Zone to confront a Romulan warbird. Realizing that everyone she loved was long dead, Raymond became depressed. Seeing her distress, Captain Picard had Counselor Troi talk to Raymond. When Raymond told Troi that she was wondering what happened to her children, Troi helped her search through the computer records for information on her children.

Following this confrontation with the Romulans, Troi and Raymond went over the results of the information. They discovered that there was a Thomas Raymond - her great-great-great-great-great-grandson - was living near the city of Indianapolis with his family. Upon seeing a photo of him, Raymond remarked that he looked just like her husband. She decided that once she returned to Earth that she'd seek out Thomas and his family. The three 20th century humans returned to Earth on board the USS Charleston.
