SNIP

The three most probable scenarios were listed as follows:

Highest probability 76% - Failed development of an ‘egg’.
Probability 17% - Remains was that of a parent who failed in the competition with the successful parent. The successful parent was the one whose egg was laid.
Probability 2% - Remains was that of a parent who died after laying the ‘egg’.
There were 17 other scenarios that were each less than 1% probability.

“So I wasn’t far off from calling it the Great Bird of the Galaxy” Magnus commented, shooting the science officer a cheeky smile.

Siobhan smiled and shook her head. “Well, the next question is… where are Mommy and Daddy? If that was a child we saw, a newborn, then we are missing some parts of the family unit.” She glanced at the others, curious what their expressions would be when they considered a Daddy of the child they had witnessed being birthed, or even the Mommy. Personally, it sent chills of fear and excitement in equal measure down her spine.

The runabout’s long range sensors were not as powerful as the Genny’s. Nevertheless, their long range sensors showed that the only similar lifeform was the creature moving towards the anomaly. However, the sensors could not reach to the anomaly. The anomaly’s position was known from information obtained from the Genesis.

Magnus tapped the sensor location of the anomaly the Genesis was heading towards “If I’d recon a guess I’d say over there.” He leaned back in his chair “Let’s do some general sensor scans to see if we missed anything before starting to make our way back to the rendezvous” He said with a half-smile, this wasn’t really his kind of mission, he wasn’t much suited for sitting in a runabout doing scientific exploring but he always did enjoy a good days work.

Sensors showed there was nothing more to be discovered.

Magnus nodded “Alright, Mr Park. Please set a course for the Genesis, they’ll have to swing around to pick us up but we can shorten the distance. Find ourselves something to do on the way back” He said with a smile.

OOC: I refer you to https://www.star-fleet.com/core/stf6/genesis/posts/107319/ to show the times the runabout would take to reach the Genesis.

((Soooo… we got a couple hours? <insert mass amounts of sarcasm hehehhee>))

Siobhan nodded. “We can trace the creature’s path and take readings to see how the trail degrades with time and distance from the egg. Anyone hungry?” She headed for the back of the shuttle to start making a bit of something for everyone to eat. It had been a while and her own stomach was growling. “I am equally curious to see where the creature is going. I mean, if it’s like trout in Earth’s environment, they instinctively know where to go to mate before going back to their birthing spots to lay their own eggs. If this is the case in this scenario, then wherever it’s going, there’s likely more of them.” The excitement in her voice at finding such a thing was more than evident. She was practically bouncing with the idea of studying a new species.

“Aye Sir, but I feel like I should note out that at Warp 4 we’ll get back to the Genny in 36 days.”

Lt. Park

Magnus turned to Park with a wide smile “Well then I guess we better get comfortable” He turned to DeNaris “An Apple and a cup of Coffe, if you’d kindly” then turned back to Park “Just set the course and let’s have Lunch. I’ll send a message to the Genesis that we’re returning home, they’ll pick us up when they’ve finished Trout spotting” He patted the young man on the shoulder and stood up and moved up towards the Dining table.

OOC: So, is Siobhan going to check the sensors for research?

GM

“Aye Sir. Course laid in.” tapping a few buttons on the console to activate the warp drive.
