Tia had come back to the ship and managed a shower and quick bite before heading down to medical. She stood there, now, beside the cryotube the child was in. A large crate beside her held the balls in a nestled material to keep them from touching. Her idea had been to keep the orbs in close proximity to the child till they better understood their purpose. If they were merely toys meant to placate the child upon awaking, then that was one thing. If they had to do with life support, nutritional necessities, or some other life purpose, having them close was necessary.

She had helped the medical team hook the bed up to the Merrimack systems so they could continue to monitor the child’s health. But she was still no closer to figuring out how to release the child without harming it.

Settling on the floor next to one of the larger panels of the tube, Tia began to slowly remove the fasteners. She knew better than to touch wires and cords, but seeing how they were wired may lend them a clue on how to help. As she worked, she was unaware a soft lullaby was being hummed thru her half pursed lips.

The CMO had given orders for the pod to be put near the stasis unit just in guess something happens and the child would need to be taken out.A doctor was checking the male child vital signs every fifteen minutes ‘’Chief the science dept has managed to open one of the sphere and from what I heard a shaped like egg was found inside ‘’ he told Tiastri while watching her remove the fasteners.

Not looking up, Tia frowned slightly and her bottom lip slid between her teeth as she thought a moment. “Have they scanned it? Is it an actual egg with a life form in it? Or just a solid object?” She cocked her head to look at the readings, making sure they were steady with the new hook ups to the Merrimack’s system. She was curious if the child had managed to convince the grownups to put all his ‘pets’ with him in stasis. The last thing they needed was a couple dozen strange little creatures running amock on the ship.

And heaven help them if they divided like Tribbles.

It was Hunter that responded back to Tia ‘’Chief this is what we’ve learned so far. They don’t appear to be an egg in any known form that we can make sense of. NE Chris thinks they could maybe be a kind of organic battery, though for what end we’re not sure since they don’t seem to interact with say the child’s sleeping pod, nor do they seem to be edible as there is no real way the child could have opened any of these metal casings on their own with what they had on hand, and we’re pretty sure that had the Alstairians awakened the child they wouldn’t have had the tech either to open them for the child..”

Hunter Dr.

‘’This is getting complicate by the minute ‘’ Cross told Tia ‘’Even the time frame of the pod does not make sense, we did no have the technology to put someone in stasis back then and yet the child is still alive ......someone else must have came into the picture with more advanced technology and it was not the Alstairians ‘’.
Cross Dr.

Now that the pod was completely set up with the Merrimack Tia was able to start calling up readings. “So we need to figure out the exact nature of the power grid set up, make doubly sure the atmosphere in the pod is compatible with ours, and think on how to wake this child up. Whatever happened, and whenever it happened, are more or less moot at this point. The goal now was to wake the child and find out if he was aware of his situation and needs.

In the back of her mind, looking down at the sleeping child, Tia sincerely hoped this wasn’t a species that imprinted on the first person they saw. Last thing on her mind was being a mother. But still… something inside tugged at her that made her suddenly want to protect the child from whatever ‘grand scheme’ had put him in this predicament.

Cross did not agree ‘’As long as the child is in a stable condition we should leave him there,if on the other hand his life is in any danger then we would need to get him out and in the stasis unit ‘’ the CMO sighed ‘’The ship is going to the star constellation which was written on the pod ,lets hope we’ll get the child safely there in time’‘.

Cross reasoned that even if where ever they were taking him the crew would still see that he’s in a safe place ,they weren’t about to throw the pod and leave.Psychically he had the body of a human but what about the skin color?
Cross CMO.

Part of Engineering Chief was relieved. Honestly, the last thing she needed was the responsibility of a child. But another part of her railed at the logic the Doc gave. How could they learn about the child without waking him. Nodding at the reason, she sighed. “Well then, sleep it is. I think so long as we don’t need up too many of the objects, then, we should be ok.” She sighed. “I wonder, now, hindsight of course,” she laughed and shook her head, ” if we shouldn’t have made an effort to bring more, if not all, of those objects with us.” She had a small knot forming in the pit of her stomach that somehow, now she was clear-headed enough to think, that they were, somehow, important.

Cross could understand Tia’s frustration,she too wished she had more knowledge about the child but still hoped that they reached their destination with the child still intact.

As for what else was found the doctor did not have any idea cause she had boarded the ship just before transporting the child ‘’Tia I still have that gut feeling that someone else was involved between the child being put in the pod to ending up were the Alstairans found it’‘ the doctor tried to reason ‘’According to the scans the child was put in the pod a long time ago when such advance technology needed did not yet exist’‘ she looked at Tia maybe she could offer some different reasoning? a different hypothesis? Considering she was the Chief Engineer.

‘’Once I was in charge of the bridge and I was suppose to take the ship out from the docking area and nearly split the ship in half cause forgot to contact the docking area first! Ooo the shame of it all’‘ Cross uttered while lowering her voice. ‘’The CE back then vowed to strangle me’‘.

Then she wondered how the science dept was progressing with the shaped egg found inside the sphere.
That was Cross,if she wasn’t concentrating on something she would jump from one thought to another like always.

Cross Dr.

Tia paced a moment. “So you’re saying this child was placed in stasis before stasis was a viable option? Ok, I’m thinking leaving to many unknown isn’t a good idea. I’d feel better if we heard from the child’s own mouth that they even want to go to wherever they are sending us. Last thing I want is the Captain waking into the unknown. For all we know, we’re delivering a captive. That doesn’t sit well with me.”

Turning to face the Doc, Tia took a deep breath and nodded to the tube contraption. “Open it up. I’ll take responsibility for it.” The finality in her voice, while steady on the outside, didn’t ease her fears on the inside. But the more the Engineering Chief thought about it, the more she was determined to hear from the alien’s own voice that he wanted to go where they were heading.

OOC: This has happened again with the spilt threads. We can’t be having two different conversations at the same time in the same place (room), Please can everyone make sure they reply to the latest post and only split a thread if you are moving positions (leaving room, separating group) or changing the time (like GM skipping a day).

You also need to read ALL the threads for ALL the posts, and not just those threads you have posted in. There will be things happening in one place that will directly effect what happens where you are (an explosion). However, if you can, if something is happening in two places simultaneously (a communicator conversation) please copy to both relevant threads.

Also this won’t happen if you stay within post limits as it is only after seven days that posts drop off

I’m closing this thread and will copy posts over to the other thread if they make sense.
