The boy having overheard Cross turned to look at her quizzically. “..What do you mean?” he asked.

This took Cross by surprise,since she was had been behind the child and out of his vision ,second the female doctor was not sure of his question but knew she had to play this without giving too much information. Taking a few steps she was now face to face with him,there and then she decided her best bet was to go with the cuckoo ‘’Em…Hi I’m Miriam a Cuckoo is a bird’‘ Cross then gave her usual angelic smile ‘’It’s a bird and lay their eggs in other nests which belong to other birdies ‘’ she searched for any signs that would show the inquisitive child was satisfied with her answer.

Cross Dr.

”..Oh like a flight capable animal? I have learned of several varieties of these from my schooling before being put into the pod. I always wanted to fly if I got the chance!..” He replied jovially.

At this point Hunter got up and moved away from both Cross and the boy to contact the Cmdr.

=/\= Cmdr Hunter from sickbay, the spheres according to the boy are samples of several local plants and animals from his former home saying they are provided for his new family to study and synthesize food for him artificially if their local biomes are not capable of supporting him normally =/\= Hunter stopped to think exactly what else the child had said =/\= They can also be used as a means of emergency power source though he’s not sure of how that works =/\=.

Tia had remained by the biobed, but silent, as the child woke and was bombarded from all sides. Suddenly shaking her head, she waved her hands. “All right, everyone out but the Doc. And let’s get him something simple to eat to begin. Maybe some vegetable broth, till we know if he eats meats, and some juice with electrolytes, all right?” She waited till the others started to leave and moved to sit on the side of the bed. “I’m sorry about that. No, we aren’t your new family. And this isn’t a biodome.” She waved to the room as if indicating beyond it. Smiling back at the child again, she nodded in reassurance. “But we are friends. And we are trying to find where you were supposed to be going. We will save those spheres for you and keep them safe for your family. But I am sorry there aren’t very many.” She sighed realizing the great treasure they had left behind. It made her ache once more that she hadn’t considered bringing more back with the pod.

”..Hmm, I see. So you were another space faring species that found the sleeper ship of those female aliens I was to be put onto. I was told the trip would last some years, did those people get back to what we thought was their home system safely and how many years has it been? Several of our cultural scientists I was told had awoken a few of the females up to inquire about them and their culture, as well as where they had come from and that our home system was not free for colonizing as they had hoped. I was told a pair of them would wake me up to be my new family..” he inquired.

Tia could realize the boy was referring to the Alstarian sleeper ship they had saved. At a rough guess on the sublight velocity that the ship had taken to go from here back to Alstair Prime it probably was on the order of 8-10 or so years that the boy was in sleep. Presumably too, Tia could figure that in some way the boy had been told one or more of those on said sleeper ship were to be his new family when he got woken back up. If so it was probable one or more of the Alstarians no doubt awoken by now on Alstair Prime would probably not be too happy to have their perceived child ‘stolen’ from them.

Cross was more then willing and eager to back away from the child and let Tia take over .

“My name is Tia. Is there something you would like to be called till you are named properly? We do not wish to steal that precious moment from you or your family. But I would like to call you something more than boy.” She laughed and winked trying to ease the child’s mind that while things weren’t as he expected, they also weren’t bad.

Tia CE

The female doctor got up and as she passed Hunter gave him her Padd ,she simple wrote= Heading to bridge= .
Her inquisitive nature took the better of her and Cross wanted to find out what was going on and why Glen seemed so irked.which was rather unusual for him.

Cross Dr.

The boy seemed to consider, he was clearly quite intelligent and well groomed for his role in this strange use by his people. “..Well as I said, my new family was to name me, but I guess it would be a little silly to just call me ‘boy’. Um…” he seemed to think again, “..My one teacher was called Franz, and I always like him alot and he taught me alot before I was put into the pod. So I guess you can call me that for now?” he offered.

By this point an NE nurse returned with some vegetable broth in a large two handed cup with a straw and spoon. “..Here you go then, careful it’s a bit hot. Let me know if anything tastes funny or that you don’t like..” she said.

The boy took the large cup carefully nodding, sipping at it a moment, “..Not too bad I guess? It is kind of similar to a liquid meal served at my birthing school where I was raised..” he stated.

Hunter too got up moving a few paces away letting Tia take over, he only stood there as a doctor though he could not help but wonder why Cross seemed more then eager and willingly to get away from the child.The doctor looked down at the Padd which Cross had given him, it seemed she preferred letting him know her intentions by writing instead of communicating by word…was it due to not trusting the child and if so why? Or was it because of something else ?.

Hunter Dr.

A nurse approached Hunter ‘’You are urgently needed at the O.R doctor ‘’ she told him a bit out of breath ‘’Why me?’‘ the male doctor asked, knowing he was suppose to monitor the child ‘’The CMO is not in sickbay and you are the only surgeon available ‘’ the nurse responded back.

It took him a moment to think ‘’Call doctor Kim to monitor the child’‘ then turned to the CE ‘’Tia another doctor will take my place ‘’ and with that he headed to the O.R, wondering how long it will take for him to end up in the science dept again.

Hunter Dr.

Cross had to contact Hunter and check if all was well with the boy =/\= Cross right now I have been called to the O.R but doctor Kim has taken my place,Tia gave the boy something to eat while communicating and interacting with him ..she is in a much better position to give you any updates =/\= .
Hunter Dr.

((Ooc .. is Tia responding to a direct comm to her? A comm to the doctor she’s overhearing, or waiting for the request for information cause it hasn’t come to her yet?))

Tia laughed and nodded. “Franz works well. Good choice.” She watched him eat a moment before continuing. “So why is another family going to raise you? Is it that way among all your race? Or are you special because of what you can do?” She was genuinely curious but also wondering how they were going to fix this is the child wasn’t supposed to rescued to begin with.
