- Command division Enterprise crewman detailed to guard the mummy on a subsequent shift. Asherman joked that someone might be after the mummy's bandages moments before it attacked him.

Presumably, Jennings is also the crewman shown on the cover of the issue, although in that illustration he wears an operations division redshirt rather than his gold tunic from the interior panels. It was not revealed how much damage the conversion process did to Jennings's body before the rest of the party intervened against the mummies.
- Engineering crewman
- Command division Enterprise crewman working in engineering. He warned Scotty when the mummy entered the chamber.
