“All we wanted was a passage out of here. Was that too much to ask? Everyone just keeps getting in our way!” she screamed. The baby moved about and the hood it had on fell away. The head of the baby showed that it was not a human baby …

GM

Jason blinked at the sight of the alien baby but to honest, he was more surprised that Pitch was cradling a real infant and not a malevolent mass of neurological tissue with mind control powers. Nevertheless he plunged ahead, attempting to be the voice of reason while the being calling herself Mrs. Pitch was vulnerable and more likely to be truthful. “Have you tried asking? Would it really have been so wrong to identify yourself and ask for help? We came here on a mercy mission, is there any reason why it can’t remain that way?”

Doolittle was confused. He had examined a human baby before and now this was not a human. With his free hand he pulled out his small tricorder and moved a bit closer to get a reading. He concealed the hypo in his pants waist.

“Not going to hurt you. I just want to check your well being.” He said.

Doolittle

Jason decided to distract the woman so Doolittle could do his work. “Please, tell us who you are and how to help you,” he implored. “We can’t help you if you keep the truth from us.”

Jason Harn, aCO hoping to come to a peaceful resolution

Toro remained at the transporter console her hand on her phaser, but it wasn’t drawn. Her initial reaction was to stun the woman, but that would result in the infant falling and being injured. She hoped that Harn and Doolittle would be able to handle the situation and she wouldn’t have to use it.

According to the tricorder, the baby was human, but it was definitely not human in appearance. Mrs. Pitch pulled back the hood and just before it covered the back of the head, the appearance of the baby changed into a human head. She was more composed now and she tried to remain dignified. “I am a Betazoid woman who had a Napaean husband. This is our child.”

GM

“No offense, Mrs. Pitch, but we’re going to have to verify that,” Jason replied skeptically. “Trust goes two ways, and I think that right now, you really want us to trust you. Toro, what species do the sensors tell us Mrs. Pitch and her baby are?” he asked over his shoulder.

Jason Harn aCO, not buying it

“The tricorder confirms what she is saying.” Doolittle said since he had just scanned the baby with it. He turned to Harn.

” She is a Betazoid and the baby a mix between that an a Napian. Both are empath species. This could be something to do with that. Maybe the baby is inadvertently doing this?” Doolittle suggested as he turned back to Mrs. Pitch.

“Mrs. Pitch has been so evasive I don’t even know if that baby is truly hers, Doctor,” Jason grunted as he turned to go back to the console that controlled the tractor beam and the shuttlebay doors.

“Has the baby strong empath abilities?” He asked her still feeling the hypo in his belt. He now wondered if he should reset it to the babies weight but was unsure about that.

Doolittle

Jason leaned over to murmur in Toro’s ear. “She’s acting like a fugitive, what if she stole that rod and kidnapped that baby? What do you think, do we trust the readings we took?”

In the meantime he changed the LRCS display and typed a message that he sent to the bridge.

+^+Transporter Lock on the baby. Prepare to send it to sickbay if Pitch is a danger. Harn.+^+

Kolar returned a single green pixel on the screen which he left there. What the pixel meant beyond he received the message was unclear.

Mrs. Pitch snorted, “He is very talented, so much so that the Betazoids fear him and the Napeans do not want to have anything to do with him!”

GM

“He must be really talented if he can take over people’s bodies before he’s able to walk,” Jason snorted. “Try again, Mrs. Pitch. I don’t think that baby is even yours. You’re acting like a fugitive, and I want to know who you’re running from. You booked passage aboard the Sierra, but someone or something spooked you and you caused the Sierra to go off course and make an emergency landing. Then after you came aboard, you took over the people you needed to hijack a runabout. A baby doesn’t do that, no matter how talented, but somebody on the run does. If I don’t get some straight answers I’m going to separate the two of you and find out just what it is you’re hiding, so talk. As far as I know, you are a threat to everyone aboard, including that child.” He tapped his combadge. =^=Harn, to Balfor. Mister Balfor, unless you hear from me, transport Mrs. Pitch’s infant to sickbay so we can run some tests and find out whose baby it really is. This charade has gone on long enough. Transport the child in two minutes. Understood?=^=

Jason Harn, aCO laying his cards on the table

=^=Aye.=^= Came the one word reply. There wasn’t much to go from his tone, but that in of itself could have meant something.

That was some pretty fine transporting. Generally transporter liked picking up everything ‘living’ in an area, kept the accidents to a minimum. He locked the transporter on.

Alexandra approached slowly, resting her hand on her phaser. She didn’t entirely disagree with Harn’s new aggressive tact, but there were good odds someone with mind control powers was now fixated on him.

Mrs. Pitch had a look of terror in her eyes. It was the eyes of a woman who was about to lose her child. “I’m telling you the truth!” she screamed. “Why doesn’t anyone believe me? My son has special abilities. Oh how can I explain?! I did not hijack the transport! That captain! That captain did something wrong! I could sense it in your people when they came on board. Yes, I am running away. I needed to get my son and I away from prying eyes. That captain would have delayed our departure from the starbase. He would have ruined everything! Now you have ruined my life and my son’s life!”

The child was crying. It was not a sharp cry. The volume and intensity corresponded to the incoherent way Mrs. Pitch was speaking.

“They said that he was interesting. I thought that they had accepted me and my son. But I found out that they wanted to run tests on him, just as you are. He is not an animal to be experimented on. He has a right to live a quiet life. He should not be subjected to probes and machines! Why can’t you people leave him well alone?! Why can’t you people leave us alone?!”

As she spoke more hysterically, the cries of the baby became even more intense and loud.

“My good lady.” Doolittle cut in. “I promise no test on the baby. We just want you in the Sickbay so we can make sure your fine and your child is fine. We can move people out of your area and you can have a room all to yourself.”

Doolittle had been holding off with direct intervention. He had quietly changed the dose to one for an infant. Slightly dangerous but if the child had the powers he seemed to have and he was getting upset they could all be under its control in a matter of seconds. He hoped this worked as he stepped ever so more closely toward her with a reassuring smile and his other hand stretched out with the palm up in a suggestion of let me help you.

Doolittle

Mrs. Pitch looked over and saw the doctor who had been with her on the Sierra. She visibly calmed down, “Then please tell that buffoon over there to un-lock on my son.”

GM

“Mrs. Pitch I know what it’s like to be treated as a specimen,” Jason replied gently. “How intrusive it can get. How frightening. It seems like everybody in Starfleet is a scientist at heart, and they all want to write a paper on you. But we have to verify that the child is really yours, you understand that don’t you? You must admit, your story is… difficult to take at face value. If the child is really yours, we won’t take him from you. Will you cooperate with us or will we have to separate you?”

He tapped his combage. =^=Mister Balfor, delay transport and contact the Sierra. I want to know what they have to say about Mrs. Pitch and her son. Find out if the Sierra’s captain ever gave Mrs. Pitch reason to believe they were going to take him away from her. =^=

Jason Harn, aCO

Doolittle was not a command expert. However he was a psychiatrist. He almost winced at Harn’s actions. They could have faked taking the lock off and he would have had her calmed down and in the sickbay where she was isolated and the environment controlled. Now he had just basically reduced her options, suggested to a possible delusional person her delusion was not real and worse if she was lying and knew she was lying then basically told her that the child would be taken away from her. It was altogether possible she knew the child was not hers but would not relinquish it. Harn had cut her options and their options down significantly. However Doolittle felt the child was hers.

“Mrs Pitch I am the Chief Medical Officer on board. I and I alone have the complete authority to determine the medical actions taken against you and your baby and I promise you no one is taking that baby from you. I will not allow it. Would you prefer to walk to your private sickbay room or shall we all beam there?” He said in a calm voice.
