Summary[]
The short but sweet tale of the final days of Enterprise's ships janitor, James "Jimmy" Horn, and how he gave his life in the line of duty.
In 2153/4, Jimmy was cleaning Main Engineering when a spatial distortion hit, causing part of an engineering component to become exposed. Jimmy was injured, and quickly used his sweeper to seal the hole until a repair could be made. Later Jimmy awoke in Sickbay, and Phlox told him that he was "very sick," mortally injured. Finally, he drifted off to sleep, with the assurance that he was a hero.
