CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Monitoring the outside area of the station on the sensors, keeping eye on the traffic::
XO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: Doctor, the Orion shuttle is almost in range.  Are you ready for visitors?
CEO_Hoyt says:
::walks across OPS and rings the bell::
CTO_Powers says:
::Chilling in the Security Office::
XO_Danforth says:
::Chris is sitting patiently in operations, relaying information between departments when necessary and keeping the CO informed::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::in ready room, hears the door:: *CEO*: Enter.
CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: Yes. I am ::finishes tying up the last of her scrubs::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::At the OPS console waiting for the shuttle to come in range for transport::
CEO_Hoyt says:
::enters:: CO: Lieutenant (jg) Lan Thayne Hoyt reporting sir ::stand at attention::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::sees it is one of his new officers, stands and holds out his hand:: CEO: Lieutenant, or do you prefer Chief?

Action: The shuttle approaches and enters transporter range.

XO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: Very good.  I'll let you know right before beam in.
CEO_Hoyt says:
::shakes the CO's Hand:: CO: Captain's preference
CMO_D`han says:
::walks into the operating theatre and is prepared to wait:: *CO*: Last night I sent you a report on what I determined with regards to the Ferengi. At present I am prepared to deal with a medical emergency that is coming in on an Orion shuttle.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Ensign, have you locked onto the shuttle occupants yet?
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Sir, the shuttle is within transport range.  Locking onto the patient now.
CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: Acknowledged, Commander. Thank you.
EO_Baggins says:
:: enters an office in engineering and begins to go over the progress reports on the engineering crew ::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Nice job, Ensign.  As soon as I inform the Doctor, please begin beam out.
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir.
CTO_Powers says:
::Glad he has people to meet the shuttle... didn't trust them yet...::
Host Brett says:
@<Tala> COM: Arcadia: CIV: Arcadia, we are on final approach, please provide landing instructions.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Patch me in to the shuttle.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CEO: Chief it is. ::offers a seat with his hand:: Have a seat.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Never mind.
CEO_Hoyt says:
::takes a seat::
CIV_Mrlr says:
COM: Tala: I'm putting the docking instructions through.  We are ready to beam out the patient directly into our sickbay.
XO_Danforth says:
COM: Tala: Orion shuttle, this is Commander Danforth.  We are about to beam the patient over to our sickbay prior to your landing.  Acknowledged?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Runs some basic scans of the area looking for any peculiarities ::
CTO_Powers says:
<Sec Officer Green> ::Waiting in Sickbay for this pregnant woman, getting odd looks from the doctors and nurses::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CEO: So what do you think of the station so far?
Host CO_Claymore says:
::takes a seat himself::
CMO_D`han says:
::looks over at Green:: Green: Be sure to stay well out of the way, or I will make you wait outside.
Host Brett says:
COM: Arcadia: CIV / XO: Acknowledged.  She is ready for transport.  Please be careful, she carries the hope of thousands with her.  We will dock and then go to your infirmary to witness the birth.
CTO_Powers says:
CMO: Of course, Doctor... I'll stay out of your way, but I don't think I can wait outside.
XO_Danforth says:
COM: Tala: Acknowledged.  Arcadia out.
XO_Danforth says:
::nods to the CIV::  *CMO*: Doctor, you have incoming.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Begin transport, Ensign.
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Initiating transport, now.
CMO_D`han says:
::was going to speak more to Green, but hears Danforth, nods though he cannot see her:: *XO*: I am ready. ::stands up and goes to the biobed::
XO_Danforth says:
::chimes the comm in the Captain's Ready Room -- flashing message, emergency notification::
CTO_Powers says:
<Sec_Green> ::Tenses, and moves his hand to his belt::
CEO_Hoyt says:
CO: Bigger then a Akira Class ship that is for sure. ::laughs a little::
CMO_D`han says:
::thinks: This is no place for a security officer. The poor woman is in severe difficulty and may not even live....::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::nods:: CEO: Just a moment, ::presses comm button on desk:: *XO*: Go ahead commander.
XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: Mr. Powers, please coordinate a proper escort for our guests.  And keep a watch just in case.
Host Brett says:
Action: The woman is beamed from the shuttle.  Suddenly, warning alarms sound.  Pattern cohesion is failing, the transporter is having difficulty maintaining the confinement beam.
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir, the Orion shuttle with its passengers is within transport range.  We've beamed the patient directly into sickbay.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::boosts the power to the transporters:: XO: Sir...I'm having trouble maintaining the pattern lock.
CTO_Powers says:
<Sec_Green> ::Sees the beam, but something is definitely wrong..::
CMO_D`han says:
::is worried about her patient as she is not forming:: *XO*: The patient... she's not completely forming.... what is the problem?
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Thank you commander, I'll check in there soon. Claymore out.
CTO_Powers says:
*XO*: Aye, sir.  I'll have the on duty roster make up a team... which docking bay are they landing at?
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Ensign, tighten the beam!  Reroute power to the pattern enhancers!
CMO_D`han says:
::expression is of deep concern::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Don't lose this patient, Ensign....
XO_Danforth says:
::brings up the status of the transporters quickly to see if he can help::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::continues to boost power to the confinement beam:: XO: Aye sir....

Action: The increased power to the transporter solidifies the containment field and the transport is completed successfully, depositing the moaning Orion woman on the bio-bed in the infirmary.

CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: If you can't maintain the lock, keep her on the shuttle. I...  ::sounds relieved:: she's here!
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Sir, the patient is in sick bay...transport complete.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CEO: Where were we? Oh, the station, yes it is bigger than the Akira, but it's no small ship either. Are there any questions you have, any problems you've discovered? I was CEO here straight from the Academy, so if there is any odd situation Engineering wise I probably know about it. The computers are probably the biggest mess, we had some type of compatibility problem a few years back.
CTO_Powers says:
<Sec_Green> ::Sees the woman materialize, but doesn't untense... Orion women are known to be fierce::
CMO_D`han says:
::looks at the signs as the biobed finally starts reading her::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Nice job, Ensign.  Good to know you are a pressure player.
XO_Danforth says:
::smiles at the hard working ensign::
CEO_Hoyt says:
CO: Well I haven't had a chance to go over the Computers as of yet sir. There is one thing I would like to know...will there be another ship attached to the station?
CIV_Mrlr says:
::grins showing her canines:: XO: Thank you, sir.
CTO_Powers says:
::Scratches his head, thinking he answered the XO, but didn't get an answer... sits up and tries again:: *XO*: Sir, I'm sorry, if you said anything, I didn't catch it... I asked which docking bay the shuttle was going to.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Let me know if you can find out what caused the difficulty.  It's probably a side of the pregnancy, but it would be good to know for future reference.
EO_Baggins says:
:: continues reviewing progress reports on the engineering crew ::
XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: Sorry, Mr. Powers.  We had a small emergency up here.  Nothing to worry about.
CMO_D`han says:
::sees the life signs of the patients are both weak, holoimaging shows the baby is already in the birth canal::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CEO: I don't know, and I would assume not. Since the Thomas is at our disposal we shouldn't require another vessel, unless the political situation around the station changes, which I doubt at the moment.

Action: The shuttle enters the docking area and glides quickly to its assigned berth.

CEO_Hoyt says:
CO: Understood...I would like to get a look at her sometime Captain.
CTO_Powers says:
::Sends out his team:: Team: Call for a site to site transport... they've already docked.  ::His team nods back and calls for a site-to-site::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Scans some of the incoming and outgoing vessels, just a check, pushes some buttons on his panel ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CEO: I'm sure that Captain Clay will allow us to visit the Thomas.
CEO_Hoyt says:
CO: I would also like to request the use of a runabout sir.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CEO: A runabout? You've been here less than a month and you want to leave already ::all smiles::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Any news on that transporter quirk?
CEO_Hoyt says:
CO: No sir...its not that I want to leave...I have...well a date and I thought a little trip would be a good idea.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head:: XO: No sir...it was nothing mechanical.  I believe it had to do with the child and it's mother.
CTO_Powers says:
::His team is told to walk by a cranky transporter chief, so he calls to his security check point to make sure the station's not being overrun::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Alright.  Nice work Ensign.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::is slightly upset but doesn't show it:: CEO: A date? I'm sorry, personal use isn't allowed.
CEO_Hoyt says:
CO: Who has control over repairs and upgrades to the shuttle anyway's sir?
XO_Danforth says:
::looks around:: CSO: Mr. Washudoin?  I'm heading down to sickbay.  You have the bridge.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Looks up at the XO :: XO: Acknowledged Sir.

INFO: The shuttle passengers are at the Security checkpoint, anxiously waiting to come aboard.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Pushes some buttons, brings up the command panel on his panel and takes over ::
CTO_Powers says:
<Checkpoint Guard Hardy> Passengers: And what is your reason for visiting the station?
CTO_Powers says:
<Hardy> ::Sees the Romulan:: *CTO*: Chief?  Can you come down here please.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CEO: The flight department will do most maintenance on the shuttles, but if major work is required you'll receive a repair order from Operations.
CEO_Hoyt says:
CO: Aye...I was wondering if possibly a runabout could be set aside...I took small craft design and I believe I could improve one of the runabouts.
Host Brett says:
<Tala> Guard: We have come to witness the birth of our child.
XO_Danforth says:
::enters the TL and heads to sickbay:: WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP HMMMMMM (sounds of the TL)
CMO_D`han says:
::sees the meds are working, is happy about that:: Laeessa: Still with me? ::sees the Orion woman smile back weakly:: good. I am going to need you to start pushing... the baby is in the canal already. Ready? ::sees her nod:: when I now, bear down... for the count of ten...
CTO_Powers says:
<Hardy> ::Looks up from his PADD and counts more than two people:: Tala: All of you?
Host CO_Claymore says:
CEO: We've got plenty of runabouts, and I think one is due for an overhaul. Take that one, but I want it capable of flight within three hours notice at all times. And if it were to happen that you needed to go on a test flight of this runabout, and you took someone with you, there's no violation of the regs. ::smiles::
Host Brett says:
<Tala> ::Smiles::  Hardy: Yes.  Now, your commanding officer already knows we are coming.  Please let us proceed to your infirmary, we must be there for the birth.
CTO_Powers says:
::Notifies his checkpoint officers that help is on the way, then decides to go himself::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: looks over the status reports that are there and inputs some stuff into the computer::
CMO_D`han says:
Laeessa: One... two... three... four.... that's good keep it up.... five.... six.... seven.... almost done... eight... nine... ten!.... now relax.
CEO_Hoyt says:
CO: Well I am going to have to take it out first sir to see what needs to be done. Thank you sir.
XO_Danforth says:
::exits the TL and heads directly to sickbay::
CTO_Powers says:
<Hardy> ::Grins when the security team arrives:: Tala: Well, I can let you go with these nice folk... ::Points to the burly, beefy security guards cracking their knuckles:: Enjoy your stay...
Host CO_Claymore says:
CEO: No way around regulations. Is there anything else?
CEO_Hoyt says:
CO: NO sir. I will get started on that overhaul right away sir. And thank you again.
Host Brett says:
<Tala> ::Smiles nicely::  Hardy: Thank you.  ::Turns to a Vulcan and Ferengi in their group::  Please wait here and prepare our luggage.
XO_Danforth says:
::enters sickbay and looks for CMO D'han::
CMO_D`han says:
<nurse betty> XO: Why Commander Danforth... what brings you to sickbay? ::has a bit of a chiding tone::
Host Brett says:
<Vulcan  /Ferengi> ::Nod and return to the shuttle::
XO_Danforth says:
Betty: Betty, you know why I'm here.  ::smiles at the comely nurse who's always chiding him::
CTO_Powers says:
<Security Team> ::Escorts the visiting... group... to Sickbay::
Host Brett says:
<Tala> ::Follows the guards, excitement on her face.::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CEO: Alright, then get to your post.
CMO_D`han says:
<nurse betty> XO: For your physical? D'han is involved with a medical emergency, right now.
CEO_Hoyt says:
::nods salutes and heads right for engineering::
CTO_Powers says:
<Security Team> ::Eyes the group, wondering what draws this group together...::
XO_Danforth says:
Betty: That's why I'm here.  How is it going?
CMO_D`han says:
Laeessa: Once again.... ready.... ::waits for the contraction:: Now!  One... two... three... four.... that's good keep it up.... five.... six.... seven.... almost done... eight... nine... ten!.... now relax.
Host Brett says:
<Tala> Burly Guard: Please sir, we must hurry.  She was quite near delivery when she was brought aboard.  We must be there to see...
CMO_D`han says:
<nurse betty> XO: Uh huh... ::has that yeah, right tone in her voice:: Well D'han has told me she'd like to take care of you herself. And she is kind of busy right now. An Orion is giving birth and it is not an easy one.
CTO_Powers says:
::Meets up with his Security Team, and overhears the one they called Tala:: Tala: We're heading there as fast as we can, ma'am... it should be just around the corner here... there we are.  ::Enters Sickbay::
CTO_Powers says:
::Motions for his security team to wait outside, since he and Green should be able to handle things inside::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::thinks for a moment and decides what he needs to be doing next--- heads for Operations::
CEO_Hoyt says:
::enters the Infirmary:: XO: Commander...fancy meeting you in here. What you in fer?
XO_Danforth says:
Betty: I do have quite a bit of medical training.  Perhaps I should go help her out?
Host CO_Claymore says:
::enters Operations:: Anyone: Report.
CMO_D`han says:
::holds Laeessa's hand:: Laeessa: Come on... here comes the next contraction... ready... Now!  One... two... three... four....  look the baby's crowning... almost there keep it up.... five.... six.... seven.... almost done... eight... nine... ten!.... now relax.
Host Brett says:
<Tala> ::Enters the Infirmary and sees it is already quite busy.  Motions her group to fan out around the room to better see the birth happening in the Operating theatre.  Makes shushing motions to keep the group quiet.::
XO_Danforth says:
CEO: Here to witness the birth of the child from the shuttle.  And you?
CIV_Mrlr says:
::looks up to see the CO returning into Operations::
CTO_Powers says:
<Sec Green> CTO: Want to go see what all the commotion is about?
CEO_Hoyt says:
XO: Came in to talk to the Doctor
CMO_D`han says:
::wheels over to between her legs, checks if she needs an episiotomy::

INFO: The group's faces are lit with excitement and anticipation.  All clutch their hands together at their chests as if in prayer and watch anxiously.::

CTO_Powers says:
Green: Sure, why not... just don't let down your guard.  We don't know what to expect yet.
CMO_D`han says:
<nurse betty> XO: No I do not think so.
CTO_Powers says:
<Green> ::Nods back::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Everything is in tip top shape as of now Sir.
CEO_Hoyt says:
::chuckles at Betty's comment::
CMO_D`han says:
::finally gets the head out and sees that it is... definitely not right, fights back the urge to gasp at what she sees::
CMO_D`han says:
<nurse> ::gasps::
Host Brett says:
<Group> ::Excited murmurs as the head appears.  Smiles erupt.::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: Good, I'm heading for the Infirmary to check up on our guests. I trust you'll have quarters ready for them ::walks off and enters the turbolift, not giving anyone a chance to reply::
CMO_D`han says:
::tries not to look in horror as the face is a mishmash of different races, a Vulcan ear on one side, a Ferengi on the other, green skin tone of the Orion::
Host CO_Claymore says:
TL: Infirmary
XO_Danforth says:
::holds a steady face::
CTO_Powers says:
::Hm, maybe that checkpoint guard was right... they are all parents::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Under....:: Sees him disappear behind the TL doors ::
CMO_D`han says:
::pops the shoulders out relatively easily as they feel like they aren't fully formed, and once out fall into place::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::looks at the CSO, grins and shrugs before going back to monitoring Operations::
CTO_Powers says:
<Green> ::Has a stiff face on... then looks at the surrounding group... what the h*ll are these people doing?!?::
CMO_D`han says:
::Pulls the baby all the way out, ties off the umbilical cord, and passes it off to a nurse::

INFO: As the baby is brought out into the light, all can see it's visage.  It is horribly deformed with features of each of the twelve races present on the shuttle in varying degrees.  It's arms are stunted and one leg is but a stub.  It's face is mishapen and it emits a horrible, raspy cry.

XO_Danforth says:
::feels deep pity for the child::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Nods to the CIV in his "fascinating" form ::
CTO_Powers says:
Self: That's too bad....
CEO_Hoyt says:
::covers his mouth:: Self: Oh my god
Host Brett says:
<Group> ::All gasp and congratulate each other as they see the child.  Hugs are exchanged and some tears of joy are present.::
CMO_D`han says:
::puts on her best face:: Laeessa:  You have... have... a baby! ::tries to sound cheerful:: You can relax now.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::moves out of the turbolift and towards infirmary::
XO_Danforth says:
::tries to get the doctor's attention::
CMO_D`han says:
<nurse>::cleans up the baby and puts it on its own biobed::
Host Brett says:
<Laeessa> CMO: ::Very weary but smiling::  Oh thank you doctor!  You have brought our salvation.
CMO_D`han says:
::looks over at the XO and everyone else wondering when her Operation room got so crowded::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Sends out a call to some Ensign to make up some rooms for our newest guests ::
CEO_Hoyt says:
::shakes his head:: Self: How could she have let this happen. ::waves at the D'han::
Host Brett says:
<Vulcan on Shuttle> ::Senses the birth and turns to the Ferengi.  Nods at him and she smiles largely.::
XO_Danforth says:
CMO: Doctor, do you have a minute?
CMO_D`han says:
::smiles at Laeessa:: Laeessa: Congratulations.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::enters Infirmary and sees everyone standing around:: XO: What's going on?
Host Brett says:
<Vulcan on Shuttle>::Sends the transmission.::
CMO_D`han says:
XO: Just a minute... :: gets the afterbirth out and wraps up::
CTO_Powers says:
<Duty TO Keanu> All: I'm picking up a transmission coming from the shuttle...
CMO_D`han says:
<nurse> CMO: Doctor... you may want to look at this... ::motions to the baby::
CMO_D`han says:
::gets up and goes to look::

Action: In Operations a transmission from the shuttle is monitored.  Sent out on all frequencies it simply says: "The child is born."

CMO_D`han says:
::sees the flesh beneath the skin moves as well:: Nurse: this is odd. ::looks at the life signs:: I want this child closely monitored.
CSO_Washudoin says:
*CO* Sir, there are some quarters being assigned to our guest, I've send the coordinates to an infirmary consol to transfer to a PADD for them. Washudoin out.
CIV_Mrlr says:
CSO: Sir, the shuttle has sent out a transmission on all frequencies.
CMO_D`han says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: Can I help you?
XO_Danforth says:
::motions for the CMO to follow him into her office::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CIV: Understood, I wonder what that could mean.
CMO_D`han says:
::reluctantly leaves her patients, but assumes the rest of her staff will take good care of them::
CMO_D`han says:
::enters her office:: XO: Yes?
CEO_Hoyt says:
::waits to talk to the doc::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CIV: Notify the captain he might be interested.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::looks around, notices that all of the guests are rather attached to the child, not so much the mother:: Self: Not good, now there is no telling who the leader is.
XO_Danforth says:
CMO: Is...is that baby normal by their standards?  I can't help notice that it doesn't look healthy.  What's the prognosis on it's lifespan?
CIV_Mrlr says:
CSO: Aye sir.  ::her tail twitches:: He's not the only one.
CMO_D`han says:
XO: More tests need to be done, but my immediate prognosis is not good.
CEO_Hoyt says:
::leaves a note with a nurse for the Doctor to meet him in the Main Shuttle Bay instead of holodeck 2::

Action: Within minutes of the transmission, sensors show vessels converging on Arcadia from every direction.  Freighters, shuttles, yachts and small private craft, all converging on the Station.  Forty two vessels in all.

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Notices the 42 some odd vessels appear on the sensors :: CIV: We have some visitors.
CTO_Powers says:
<Duty TO Keanu> ::Looks at his console in disbelief:: All: Uhh... whoa.
