As the latch easily came off and the metal doors swung open there was a sort of soft rumbling sound from within and suddenly a veritable trove of rolling spheres spilled out over the whole area making standing a precarious process! Thankfully the avalanche of spheres were not hard, but actually quite soft and fluffy but still firm enough to make them an easy slip/trip hazard. They were the size of golf balls, silver-blue in color.

But once everyone would find some manner of footing they would be able to peer inside the box and find it contained one last mystery, that of a small cryo pod! Different from those used by the Alstair but functioning in a similar fashion. Inside the icy hold of the pod was a small figure, a young child or large baby perhaps dressed in simple silver robes. Attached to the pod’s lid was some kind of plastic soft paper with a flowing alien script.

After spending a comically long time getting himself secure footing, using the handle to keep him from falling, NE Specs looked into the box and saw the pod, stepping forward and looking inside “Uhm, there’s a child in here” He called out “Who would bring a child on a trip like this and why keep them here?” He mused as he grabbed the communicator [O]Specs to Merrimack, uhm, We’ve got another cryopod here, there’s what looks like a child[O]

Glen replied from the Captain’s Chair, =/\= Are they awake? Or still under cryogenesis? Do we know how to bring them around without damage from thawing? Glen over! =/\=

=^=Still fast asleep sir=^= He leaned forward and with his scanner checked the vital signs of the child =^= Checking vitals now=^=

Tia growled as the box opened and all the debris fell out. After seeing the childlike being, she frowned a bit deeper. =^=Bridge… I don’t see any damage to the pod. But I will need a bit if you want me to figure out how to wake them. Gonna want medical on both sides standing by as well. Hang on=^= she paused a moment looking around. =^= I’m gonna see if I can get some answers here, first…=^= She turned to the others and stepped out of the circle of balls and looked for their alien escort in hopes of getting answers who this child was and why it was hidden from everyone in such an unusual place.

Tia CE

=/\= No problem. Go ahead and keep me informed. We’ll let Sickbay know so they can get prepared. =/\= Glen replied.

Vitals of the child were stable for someone in a cryo state. But one thing was quite obvious also by scans, the child inside was not an Alstarian, the child was human like in appearance, but their skin pattern was a deep yellow color in tone with small spots of orange here and there.

The Alstair crew nearby came eventually at the call by the Merrimack crew, and seemed as mystified and confused as they were. Eventually the UT translated a series of sing song replies by one Alstair female engineer. =/\= No idea who or what that child is from, nor what these balls are. They are clearly not Alstair, nor is that writting around the pod. Perhaps that may hold answers if we can translate it?=/\= She offered.

Specs scanned the text with the tricorder and sent it over to the Merrimack for analysis “I’m sending this over to our ship, hopefully our computers can translate it”
