Suddenly over the comms came two voices. The android could wait no longer while the crew debated matters between themselves. Her baby was hungry and needed feeding. Pulling Gorvel into a close circle with herself and Jaberwock, then motioning for Mazi and Arthur to join them, she tapped her commbadge and announced, =^=Ark Angel, five to beam up. Now=^=

The second voice was the overriding, near yell, of Mazi. =^=To Cargo Bay 1!=^= She was hoping security and the bridge realized just what was about to become ‘part of the crew’. She didn’t like it, but the least she could do was keep it from landing on a transporter pad cause the Transporter Chief wasn’t aware what was coming aboard.

“The clearing will have to wait, Captain.” Tenzing said quickly as he realized they were about to beam the creature aboard. The Operations Officer quickly sent a message to security so they could be on stand by in the bay area. “I’ve got a lock on all.”

A few moments later, Mazi’s voice came over the comm. She was stressed and not even trying to hide it. =^=Cargo Bay 1 to bridge. We have the… creature here. It is wanting more food and clawing at a ration crate. Permission to open this one for him and site to site transport the rest to Cargo Bay 2 to keep it out of reach?=^=

Mazi Engineer

=/\= Permission granted on both accounts Lieutenant. Security should be there to assist if needed..=/\= She said.
