”..I could use something to eat yes. What do you have to offer?” he inquired curiously. “..As for my name?” he furrowed his brow, “..they said when I woke up my new family would give me one..” he replied. Now that he was more active, more scan results could come in, they showed that judging by his brain activity and not to mention speech, he probably had the capability of being quite intelligent and on some level had already some form of education before being put into the pod.

The nurse looked at Tia hoping she’ll take this on, as for Hunter he was rubbing at his chin ‘’ I’m not sure we are the ones but do not worry we are trying to find your true family ‘’ the doctor hoped that was the case .Now he pointed at one of the spheres ‘’Do you know what those are for’’ he asked in anticipation since the science dept had no clue .

The boy looked at the spheres, “..Those are samples of several local plants and animals from my former home. They are provided for my new family to study and synthesize food for me artificially if their local biomes are not capable of supporting me normally..” he said. “..They can also I think be used as a means of emergency power source, though I am not sure how off hand..” he added

Cross was behind the child scanning with her tricorder ,she scribbled something on a Padd and gave it to Hunter ‘The lad has more brain cells then you do’ the doctor wrote .Hunter just gave Cross the Padd back ignoring her.

Scans of the child showed he was in good health, he seemed quite intelligent and physically stable.

She then contacted Glen = /\= Cross from sickbay ,an update from the child who is now fully awake drinking and asking for food =/\= Cross took a deep breath before continuing =/\= When asked for his name ,he was told that his new family would give him one and is thinking it is us, though we explained that we’re still looking for his family .The child seem to be intelligent…Captain any orders from your side? =/\= The CMO asked.

=/\= I’m busy speaking with an official from the planet right now. I’ll have to get back to you, but that’s an interesting observation. Are you familiar with the life cycle of the Earth bird called the Cuckoo? Glen out! =/\=

Cross rolled her eyes

=/\= Captain I thought I have just heard you say you are busy,anyway is the cuckoo who lay its egg in another species bird’s nest and the poor bird has to feed it until it flies away from the nest…wait eh ..oh no =/\= came the surprised voice over the comm....which rendered her speechless.

=/\= Glen Out! =/\= The com was terminated.

-Glen, CO

Cross looked at her transmitter as if seeing it for the first time ‘’The captain sure sound like he’s in a bad mood I wonder why ‘’ she said to anyone who cared to listen ‘’After all he mentioned the cuckoo not me’’ and with a sigh closed her transmitter.

Cross Dr.

The boy having overheard Cross turned to look at her quizzically. “..What do you mean?” he asked.
