As the team’s got to work, the thawing process ended up taking some time. Given the age of the technology and the primitive nature it used, what would normally only take an hour at best for commonly known techniques of cryo sleep. In this case wound up taking almost 4 days of long on and off hours of work shifts in rotation. Eventually though the child was safely taken out of the pod, and was now resting in what seemed a natural sleep state on a nearby biobed. All signs on scans showed they were healthy as best as could be seen. Their silver-slightly green tinted skin was a bit darker now having warmed up and gotten blood flowing through it. More in-depth scans also able to be taken safely showed the child and presumably its race had similarities to a human’s blood system make up. Muscular structure was also on part with a humans, as was the bone shape, however density was a bit lighter than a humans indicating the race either grew up on a lighter gravity than Earth or something similar. Overall assuming this child’s race lived as long as a human did on average the child was between 7-9 years of age.

Cross was scanning ‘’He is asleep so lets try to wake him up..shall we’‘, By we she meant Hunter and Tia,the CMO only saw the child as a patient, Cross for some reason lacked any maternal instincts ‘’Apparently the boy is two to three years older then we originally thought ‘’. A nurse had already dressed him in a gown ‘’So how are we to communicate ?’’ the female doctor asked ‘’Anyone know?’’ she looked at both Tia and Hunter.

Glen was still keen to get back to the Bridge and this was taking much longer than he had expected. “Well, don’t look at me!” Glen told them. Glen had been absent for most of his son’s life and development, though it wasn’t his fault that Andromeda had left the ship taking Iain with her.

Cross understood how much Glen’s son meant so much to him.

“I’m going to leave this in your capable hands and you can report to me when progress is made,” Glen said. “I must to return to the Bridge now. Maybe you need the Ship’s Anthropologist to be involved if it is merely a matter of communication?”

Glen left Sickbay.

‘’Yes Captain’’ Cross replied to the suggestion of bringing in the Anthropologist ‘’Any help would do and we shall keep you informed Sir’’ .

Doctor Hunter was by the bedside looking down at the child ‘’ Before you boarded the ship we translated words based on the designs and in its micro computer ‘’ he told Cross. Then addressed Tia ‘’Chief I think it would be better if you’ll be the one to wake him up, it would ease his mental well-being considering the poor lad finds himself in an unknown environment and with total strangers’’ for Hunter had seen her becoming emotional attached which he hoped would benefit the child .

OOC: Going to assume you take the next step to wake up the child, I’ll assume by this point Glen has made his departure and its just the medical staff for now plus the two security NEs nearby…

The child was soon waking up once administered a small hypo. The boy’s eyes blinked slowly and he gave a quite loud and long winded yawn stretching as one might do from a long deep sleep. Bleary eyed he rubbed his face and slowly sat up. “..I am awake? I guess that means I arrived at my new home?” he murmured to himself before looking about the sickbay and settling one by one on the crew around him. “..Are you my new family?” He asked.

Hunter got down on one knee so as not to loom over the child ‘’Well you could say we are for now, my name is Troy …so what’s your name young lad ?’’ he asked in a soft tone ‘’What is the last thing you remember before you went to sleep?’‘.

A nurse brought the child something to drink and asked if he was hungry.
