Tinkering with the sleeper pod, Tia found the wiring and circuitry was quite primitive. Barely out of what would be considered in use by Earths mid-20th century around the 1970s. Even that estimate in places seemed generous to some degree. Evidence was in place that lead Tia to theorize that whoever, had made this had been using parts that had been old and worn out by several decades, even when the sleeper pod had been assembled. Doing some dating scans on the different parts she soon would cobble together a picture that most of the parts were made between 50-75 years ago, and likely in turn had been in use quite hard in some form for another 10-25 years before the sleeper pod had been put onto the Alstair sleeper ship, said sleeper ship had been in transit at least 12 years or so before returning to Alstair Prime, so this put the parts on this sleeper pod well over 100 years or more in age! Given their primitive and quite worn construction and state it was a miracle the child hadnt died in cryo sleep!

Another thing Tia’s scans and look over would reveal was a bit of dust inside the casings interior, complete with organic particles and even organic dirt! There was enough of both in fact that with proper scanning and detailed study they might get more clues on the planet and/or people that had sent this pod out.

Coming from the science dept Cross saw Tia had already put the spheres into place and on seeing the CE scanning, the female doctor asked what the scans showed.

Catching sight of the CMO with the CE, Ade the Dentist went up to her to make a complaint. “Excuse me, Doctor Cross, but how long is this “box” going to be in the middle of Sickbay? It’s blocking the door to my surgery and these redshirts sitting around guarding it all day are making quite a racket. Then there are engineers and scientists coming back and forth to scan the thing. Surely, we have better places to store such things? Like a science lab?”

Cross looked at the dentist as if had just sprouted two antennas, she had no idea he could be such a jerk ‘’Oh its here cause they have just washed the floor,’‘ the doctor said sarcastically ‘’ I want it just the way it is, near the stasis unit just in case anything happens, as for the racket I’ll tell them to shut up ‘’.

‘’How about among the cargo containers?’‘ she cocked her head to one side waiting for an answer.

“I just thought that a science experiment should be undertaken in the science department. I actually didn’t know that it was a stasis box. I looks like an Aenar tea chest! So, you’re saying there is there something alive that might need emergency treatment? Well, I guess I withdraw my complaint then,” he replied. “I’ll go get some ladders, I guess!!

“And you two keep it down,” he said to the security guards. “No one here is interested about the queues in the galley, or that your wives ignore you! That fact doesn’t come as any surprise really!”

With that, Ade went back into his room.

  • Ade, Ship’s Dentist

Both NE red shirts went quiet from their quiet squabbling at the tone from the ship’s dentist. Then stood stiffly to attention keeping more attentive watch over the sleeper pod with the child.

OOC: Guess its up to you dear GM. (Tia and Cross are near the pod,the dentist is a side sim)

OOC: Actually its up to you all lol, not much else to discover unless you decide to wake them up. If you dont want too thats fine just indicate it and I’ll move things ahead in the sim

GM CockRoach

OOC :As for me I would rather move things along to the ship’s destination....but that’s me,I’m sure you have enough ideas of what happens once there!

OOC: Hmmm! Can the Ship’s anthropologist locate the origin of the child from the writing on the stasis box? (Captain Glen was going to ask this when he returned but someone else can instead.) Otherwise, without waking the child up, we have no idea where to go. I’ll give permission to wake up the child when I return (which could be immediately if you want).

BTW Bob Spicer needs 2 week LOA but hasn’t posted one, in case you need to know.

OOC: As had been mentioned at the end of the last sim, yes you did get coordinates to this mysterious system! Which is what your current assignment is heading you towards. The exact details of the mission given by K-5 was simply to ‘go check things out’ and then use your own initiative. For now since it doesn’t seem like we’re waking the kid up I’ll make another post skipping ahead a few days to arriving at the system.

GM CockRoach

Well, I think I must have missed that post. I was still waiting for some “Admiral” to give us new orders. Sorry, we can leave K-5 immediately.

As for waking up the child, there is no reluctance to do that from me. I thought other characters were waiting for a decision from the captain, but the captain will follow the medical advice (and we only just received that, and he wasn’t aboard the ship, and hasn’t been notified yet, so that’s the only reason he hasn’t said yes.)

Can’t wake up the child on the way? That would actually make the most sense to me. I can’t see a reason to wait until we arrive. I’ll put all this into an IC post now.
