Tressex looked at the readings and said “Incredible! That it can separate the hydrogen from plasma and extract it from almost anything in it’s surroundings? I haven’t seen anything like it. Until we can get the habitat set up, lets increase hydrogen levels in the chamber by 2% every five minutes. Monitor it’s metabolic rate, and we can establish the ideal saturation level as we move up. Once our guest is out of danger from being malnourished, we can make their apartment more cozy.” he said with a grin to T’Pris.

Tressex, Science JO

“Agreed.” T’Pris said as she made Tressex’s suggested modifications then looked around to see if Arun was still present. “Commander? We should have the creature stabilized in a few minutes, would you like to attempt to make contact with it then?” She asked.

Willow watched carefully taking in the information as the science team worked. “Stabilise it and then we need to make contact,” she said and looked at the chief of staff. “We need to find out if there are more on board but more importantly how it got here in the first place.”

Arun nodded and looked at T’Pris. “Let me know when its stabilised and I’ll make telepathical contact.” He would feel it anyhow as soon as the creature was feeling better, but he didn’t want to seem disrespectful to the scientist.

“Aye Ma’am.” T’Pris said as she worked though to herself she wondered how they could tell how it got onboard. Would it have come onboard with some of the supplies? Like a stowaway. “It may have come aboard with the supplies.” She mused as she worked.

Willow tilted her head then tapped her badge, =^= Taylor to Kree…T’Pris is wondering if the creature came on board with the supplies. Can you check to see the supplies list and where they came from exactly at the starbase. See if anything is there that isn’t catalogued and contact the starbase and find out if they are missing a Gastropod. All stop in the meantime.=^=

“I would also suggest to take care of the eggs. If we de facto make first contact with a new sentient species it would not look good on us if the first thing that happens to it on a Federation medical Starship if its children would be left to die.”
My thoughts exactly Anisha thought and Arun couldn’t help but roll his eyes and smile slightly Don’t I know it he thought back.

• Arun Onuru

Willow nodded. =^= Taylor to Security. We think there are eggs or a nest located somewhere these need to be found as priority and returned to the mother as carefully as possible. =^= she ran her hand through her hair and looked at Arun then T’Pris

Arun nodded. “I think Anisha and Melaia have a very good idea where those eggs may be.”
=^= Onuru to Security. Please start your search for the eggs at the location of my sister in Melaia Reez’ quarter. We believe they are close by. =^= he added.

“I’m going to the bridge, contact me as soon as we know anything,” she turned and left,

Once the Captain was gone Arun turned to T’Pris and Tressex. “Maybe we should send somebody to go with security. Eggs can be fragile…” he proposed.

• Arun Onuru
  OOC: The young were transported with the mother gastropod so they are actually in the container with her.
  OOC: Sorry we posted at the same time. Pasting you back in:
  IC:

“Aye Captain. The young are with the parent gastropod already, Captain. We had them beamed here with her .”T’Pris said evenly as she checked the settings on the container. “How are the hydrogen readings, Tressex? Does the creature seem to be responding?”

T’Pris Psychobiologist

Arun smiled at T’Pris. “Well that’s good news. Then maybe what Anisha and Melaia are sensing there are more aliens like the mother. Maybe her mate? It would still be good if we checked it out with security.”

He looked back at the ‘mother’ with curiosity, took out his medical tricorder and started scanning her, out of habit more than necessity.

“I wonder if she.. it is well enough for me to establish contact.” he murmered.

• Arun Onuru

The mother’s biosigns actually began to read something more than just above death, indicating that she was coming out of her extra-low metabolic state. The rise was slow but definitely steady.

~Mischief Maker

“She does appear to be improving.” T’Pris said as she watched the bio indicators on the tank. “We must be getting the concentration of hydrogen correct.”

T’Pris Psychobiologist

Arun nodded, then his eyes became vacant for a second. “Ok, I’ll try this. Anisha and Melaia Reeze are currently also trying to make telepathic contact with the alien on deck 3.” he said.

Then he sent his thoughts out to the being in the container, sending feelings of warmth and welcome first before thinking to it
Hello. We are sorry if we have caused you and yours pain, it was unintentional. We don’t know your species, but we are explorers and would like to understand you. We are peaceful, please let me know what we can do to help you

• Arun Onuru

There was no direct reply, but Arun would sense an awareness from the creature. It was likely that it was not a direct telepath, at least not with other species.

~Mischief Maker

=^Taylor to science labs, have we managed to make contact with the creature yet? I think we have found her mate.=^=

Willow Taylor
CO

=^= Onuru to the Captain, currently at it but I think it’s not a telepath, but an empath. which means we can communicate, but with emotions. Anisha is currently trying the same with what we assume is its mate on deck 3 =^=

• Cmdr. Onuru

=^= Understood. I am attempting to gain some understanding of where the creature came from. In the meantime I would like for you to stabilise the female and bring her and her nest to Deck two’s ICU we can use the Alternate Environment Support to establish an environment for the creature and her family. Perhaps if all the telepathic members of the crew were the. To meet in ICU we can organise from there and coordinate the contact rather than many minds at once which I am sure will be confusing for the poor things.=^=

Willow Taylor
CO

=^= Understood Captain. =^= Arun said.

“If a similar containment that we have created here, be created in the ICU then these ones can easily be transported there.” T’Pris said as with a few taps of her fingers on the console she sent the specifications to the ICU computer so that whoever was there would be able to replicate. “Am I to go down there as well?” She asked as she completed her task.

T’Pris Psychobiologist

=^= All hands this is the Captain. As you are no doubt aware we have unwittingly become the host to a small family of empathic life forms. They are being taken to sickbay until we can return them to their homes. As our mission is of uptmost importance this must take precedence . Medical and science staff will do everything in their power to make the life forms comfortable during their wait. In the mean time we are now back on course to Carraya. All crew members with telepathic or empathic abilities please report to ICU in fifteeen minutes time. Please do not attempt to contact the creatures in the meantime. All department heads report to the bridge immediately. That includes you Lieutenant Moreino.=^=

Arun gave T’Pris a pointed look with a smile. “It would be great if you did. Please stay with the mother and her children during the transport. I think I’ve managed to calm her down, but the transport might change that again. I have to report to the bridge. I know… ” he gave her an apologetic look “I know you are Vulcan, but maybe you could still try to concentrate on positive and welcoming thoughts. This creature is emphatic, so it may help keep her calm.” he said. “I will send my sister to the ICU. She is my twin, you will recognise her easily. She’s in a constant mind link with me.”

“I will have no difficulties doing so. ” T’Pris said.”I can keep in contact with her during the transfer as well.” As she completed her task she allowed her mind to reach out to the creatures and send calming thoughts to them. She was a strong enough telepath to keep in contact with them up to the point of dematerialization and regain it when they appeared in sickbay.

With that he gave a nod and left for the bridge, trusting T’Pris to keep the aliens safe.

• Lt. Cmdr. Onuru, XO

Tressex only half-listened to the exchange. His attention was focused singularly upon watching the readouts and dialing in the correct environmental controls. Once he had established the optimum levels to the best of his ability, he looked up and said to no one in particular “There. Environment is stable and bio readings are no longer fluctuating. I think they will be ok for the mean time.”

Tressex, Scientist

OOC: Quick question for my understanding - T’Pris is full Vulcan, is that right? How come she is telepathic without touch and mind-melt? Just trying to understand your character’s capabilities. Thanks, Julia

OOC: If you look at her bio you will see an incident that happened to her in 2387 on the Valkyrie which damaged and changed her paracortex. It was done by an alien species, it also damaged her ability to control her emotions. Blame Alex Lorien for that one, he was GM:) Since that time she has spent years trying to deal with the changes of both her mind and emotional control. Even went into psychology to try and understand it better.

In the minutes it took for Zoi to make her way to where the creatures were retained, she had worked hard to clear her mind of her frustrations and negativity. She had worked to calm herself both mind and body, allowing her shoulders to relax from the tense posture that came from doing her job. She did not want to get closer to empathic creatures feeling waves of negative emotions. It would be detrimental to their own calm. By the time she entered the Lab, she was feeling far better than she had been.

“How are they doing?” She asked T’Pris.

Haven, Sec

“They are returning to normal physiologically due to the influx of a proper amount of hydrogen. The female had been under distress due to this lack of hydrogen. It appears they must come from a planet that is infused with hydrogen so once removed from it she went into distress and an hibernated like state. They are ready for transfer now.”
T’Pris said as she kept up sending an infusion of calm and steadying thoughts to the creature.
