<<<<Resume Mission "What Child is This?" - Part 3>>>>

CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Running tests and searching archive for any information about the baby, where or why it was made ::
CTO_Powers says:
::Arriving on the Promenade level, and scans around, looking for the cluster::
CMO_D`han says:
::in sickbay:: *XO*: D'han to Danforth....
CIV_Mrlr says:
::at the OPS console monitoring the com traffic from the ships, also keeping an eye on the promenade::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::steps out of turbolift and immediately is stopped by a security officer:: Sec: Get me a phaser ::holds out hand::
XO_Danforth says:
::sits in the command chair in operations::  CIV: Mr. Mrlr, let me know if any of those ships comes within the barrier established by the Captain.
XO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: Yes Doctor?
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::turns to him:: Sir, may I ask why you call me Mr.?  I am after all a female.

Action: A group of about 12 - 14 people, mostly humans with a few others mixed in, are congregating in a central area of the Promenade.  They are all holding hands and chanting in an odd tongue.::

XO_Danforth says:
CIV: If that offends you Ensign, I'll be happy to call you something else.  Mister is simply standard protocol for all commissioned officers whether male or female.
CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: I have news for you. Laeessa, the Orion woman who just gave birth just mentioned that someone in particular would be coming to see the child and that "he" would name her. I am deeply concerned. She mentioned something about how they made her from some instructions on an ancient scroll.... and I just don't like the sound of that.
XO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: That is somewhat concerning.  ::furrows brow::  Have you had a chance to tell the Captain yet?
CTO_Powers says:
<Sec_Harrel> ::Not paying attention:: I can't just give phasers to... ::realizes who it is:: Oh, sorry, sir...  I'm afraid I can't give up my side arm, though.
CTO_Powers says:
::Walks over to the Captain, pulling his own type-II from his belt:: CO: Here, sir.  I've got this, so you can have mine.
CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: I just found out, thought I'd run it up through channels... you are my direct superior.
CTO_Powers says:
::Points to his shouldered rifle::
XO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: Very good, Doctor.  Any chance we could see a copy of that scroll?
Host CO_Claymore says:
::was prepared to chew the Sec officer, takes the T-2:: CTO: Isn't that a bit much fire power ::begins to walk towards the crowd::
CTO_Powers says:
::Shrugs:: CO: Depends who you ask, I guess, sir.  Besides, it's pretty much always with me.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Searching for any records of ancient scrolls containing information about the birth of a multi-raced child in the station's database archives::
CTO_Powers says:
::Walks with the Captain::
CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: I honestly don't think so, she would not give me any details about it since I was a non-believer.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::holster's side arm:: CTO: So what are these people doing, seems they are just gathering in a public area.
Host Computer says:
CSO: There are 123 partial matches to your inquiry.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Thinks to self: Oh great.::
CTO_Powers says:
CO: We really can't do anything about it.  I came down just to check it out, and to make sure things didn't get out of hand.  I've got men around... ::points to four plain clothed fellows meandering around, pretending to look the other way::
XO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: If you notice anything out of the unusual...I mean beyond the baby, let me know immediately.  I'll be on the lookout for any unusual activity or any anomolies approaching the station.
CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: Understood.
XO_Danforth says:
::signals the Captain::  ::chirp chirp of the communicator::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Tries to break it down within these parameters, of the making of a superior creature.::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::doesn't understand why Sec would call up to Operations for something like this:: CTO: Seems rather petty.... ::taps com badge:: *XO*: Claymore.
CTO_Powers says:
CO: Duty officer overreacted... not sure why they called Mrlr, either.
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir, the Doctor is somewhat disturbed by what she's been able to glean from this prophecy.  Apparently, they are now waiting for a being to come and name the child.  I have the station on heightened alert and will be on the look out for anomalous beings, but thought I'd let you know.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Looking at the one screen with the different DNA all tied together::
CMO_D`han says:
::waits in Laeessa's room::

Action: An Andorian woman walks out onto the level above the crowd and holds up her hands.  The group quiets down.

CIV_Mrlr says:
::listening in on the com traffic picks up a few odd transmissions. :: XO: Sir, the com traffic from the ships is a bit unusual.  Mostly they are all expressing joy and congratulations about the baby but a few are becoming agitated, especially the Captain of the Pakled freighter.
CTO_Powers says:
::Narrows his eyes and watches closely... his other officers pay more attention as well::
XO_Danforth says:
::shakes his head:: CIV: If the Pakled ship approaches the boundary, send the standard warning.  If that doesn't work, let me know.
Host Calis'thariss says:
ALL: My friends, it appears the Child is not doing well.  She is very ill.  ::Looks grave.::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Understood, keep me informed. ::taps com badge, then looks up at the Andorian women::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::under breath:: CTO: Is that one of the people that came on the shuttle?
CTO_Powers says:
CO: Yes, it is.
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir.  Oh and sir...if it would be all right I prefer not to be addressed by the masculine form...in my species it is very...::wrinkles her nose:: distasteful.
Host Computer says:
CSO: There are 23 partial matches to your inquiry for religions attempting to create a superior being.

Action: The crowd murmurs and several look to be on the verge of tears.

Host CO_Claymore says:
CTO: And these people, there wasn't this many onboard the shuttle.
Host Calis'thariss says:
ALL: We must pray for her well being.  Give of your own strength that she might live.  He will come soon and she must be here to greet Him!
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Understood, Ensign.  Would "Miss" be appropriate?
CTO_Powers says:
CO: Not that I recall, no.  Checkpoint Two definitely did not let all these people aboard, sir...
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Sir, the Captain of the Pakled freighter is insisting on speaking to one of the twelve guardians that came with the child. ::looks up at him and smiles:: Yes sir, that would be most appropriate.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Moves his fingers around, adding a list of all the  races intertwined in the baby ::
CTO_Powers says:
::Wonders where a Counselor is when you need one... bets those double-speaking kinda people could quiet thems down::

Action: The crowd acknowledges the Andorian's statements and returns to their ritual, but with more fervor.  Several drift away from the group, looking thoghtful.

XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Put the Pakled Captain on screen.  ::stands up to receive message::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::opens a channel to the Pakled Freighter:: XO: Channel open, sir.
Host Calis'thariss says:
:: Returns to her quarters.::
XO_Danforth says:
COM: Pakled Captain: This is Commander Danforth.  I understand you wish to speak to one of the twelve guardians?
Host CO_Claymore says:
CTO: I think your teams can handle the situation here.
CTO_Powers says:
CO: I think so, too, sir.
Host Grebleips says:
COM: XO: Yes Sir.  We wish to speak with the child's guardians.
CMO_D`han says:
::watches Laeessa's biomonitor::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CTO: I'm heading for the Infirmary... ::holds out the Type-2::
CTO_Powers says:
::Takes the type-II:: CO: Aye, sir.  Officer Green is standing guard there.
CMO_D`han says:
::leaves to go check on the baby::
XO_Danforth says:
COM: Grebleips: I'm afraid I'm still learning about your culture.  Is the child's guardians one of the shuttle occupants that came over with Laeessa?
Host Grebleips says:
COM: XO: Yes, Guardians came with the child.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::nods, walks towards the Turbolift:: TL: Infirmary.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Checks the sensors making sure nothing too odd, at least for the moment, isn't happening ::
XO_Danforth says:
COM: Grebleips: Captain, please maintain your distance.  I will relay the message immediately to the Guardians.  I'm sure they will check back with you as soon as they can.
CMO_D`han says:
::walks in and looks at the baby's biosigns and checks her feeding schedule::
Host Grebleips says:
COM: XO: Please to tell us the condition of the child.  We are wondering why we cannot see her.
CTO_Powers says:
::Crosses his arms, and leans back against a bulkhead, watching the swaying of the group::
XO_Danforth says:
COM: Grebleips: As I said, I'm still learning about your culture.  I think it would be best if one of the Guardians answered your questions.  I will inform them immediately.
Host Computer says:
CSO: One match to your query.  ::Data begins to appear on the screen::
Host Grebleips says:
COM: XO: We thank you.  ::Smiles::
CMO_D`han says:
::frowns as she sees the biosigns are still not good, but at least she is getting nutrients intravenously::
XO_Danforth says:
::signals the CIV to cut the com signal::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::TL stops, steps out of TL and heads into the Infirmary, looks for the Doctor::
CTO_Powers says:
<Sec_Green> ::Nods to the CO on his way through::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Begins looking through the information coming in on his screen ::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::cuts the signal:: XO: Channel closed sir.
CMO_D`han says:
<Nurse> CO: How can I help you?
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Thank you Miss Mrlr.  ::hits com badge:: *CMO*: Doctor?
CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: Yes Commander?
Host CO_Claymore says:
Nurse: I stopped by to get an update from the Doctor on the child.
CMO_D`han says:
<Nurse> CO: She is in the baby's room now, let me take you to her. ::leads him into the room::
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Doctor, I told one of the 42 ships out there that one of the Guardians would get in touch with them.  Would you please convey the message to Laeessa that a Pakled ship is requesting to know why they cannot see the child?
Host CO_Claymore says:
::follows, seems to remember the nurses being much less pleasant in the past.::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Looking through to see if this is the answer he was looking for. ::
CMO_D`han says:
::looks up as she sees the Captain enter:: *XO*: Laeessa is unfortunately asleep, and I would prefer not to wake her at this time.
CTO_Powers says:
::His commbadge beeps with a message from his team:: <Team> *CTO*: Sir, disturbing news.
CTO_Powers says:
*Sec_Team*: Report.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::awaits a moment to interject, allowing the CMO to finish her work and conversation as she sees fit::
CTO_Powers says:
<Team> *CTO*: Sir, we've come across a body with a knife in his chest.. appears to have pierced his chest.  Could be self inflicted, but we're not sure about that right now.
XO_Danforth says:
*CMO*: If she or one of the other Guardians arrives, please relay the message.
CMO_D`han says:
CO: Captain.. the good news is that there is a slight improvement.... ::smiles, then turns sad:: the bad news is that her life signs are still not good.
CTO_Powers says:
<Team> *CTO*: The blood is still pretty wet... this probably happened in the last half hour or so.
CMO_D`han says:
*XO*: Understood.
CTO_Powers says:
::Great, the cult has turned suicidal, I bet:: *Team*: I'll be right over.  Call for backup from the security office and seal off the section.  Begin setting up an investigation.
CTO_Powers says:
::His security team begins to carry out his orders::
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Sir, I could go and find one of the guardians.  I'm sure they are still hanging around the promenade.
CTO_Powers says:
*CMO*: Doctor, please come in.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::walks over to the bio-bed:: CMO: I do think that this child has gotten a bad lot in life.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Reads about a very old reference from Earth's history about the Old Ones, with mention about Betazoid, Andorian and Trill. God-like beings that they had worshipped. They were considered mad cultists, performing animal sacrifices, preaching that chaos is the way. ::
Host Trennar says:
*CSO*: Commander Washudoin, this is Trennar.  I must speak with you.
CMO_D`han says:
CO: Unfortunately, yes. And then there are the legal issues to consider. ::frowns::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: That's alright Ensign.  I need you here right now.
CMO_D`han says:
*CTO*: Go ahead.
CSO_Washudoin says:
*Trennar*:  Washudoin here, Sir
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir. ::goes back to watching the blips on the screen::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::listens to the CTO::
CTO_Powers says:
*CMO*: Security forces are reporting a dead body, apparently a suicide, found in section 21-B of the Promenade.  I'll leave it to you if you want to send an autopsy team, or just a team to collect the body for the morgue.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: The cultists tried to bring the return of the Old Ones by turning their worlds into chaos ::
CMO_D`han says:
::furrows her brow:: *CTO*: I'll send a team.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: I'll contact the CTO and let him know about the situation.
Host Trennar says:
*CSO*: I must report troubling news.  Two of my followers have become...unstable.  They claim this child we have heard about is a sign of the impending End Time and have grown increasingly violent.  I and my other followers have locked them in their room, but I fear they may need to be placed under arrest.
XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: Mr. Powers.  If you see one of the Guardians, can you please send them to Operations?
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir.
CMO_D`han says:
*MED*: Send a CSI team to 21 B of the Promenade.
CTO_Powers says:
::Walking across the Promenade section:: *XO*: Actually, sir, we just saw the Andorian on the Promenade.  She made a claim for those who have gathered to give their strength for the child.  I believe she has returned to her quarters.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CMO: Too much for one day.  Doctor, would you be willing to sign an affidavit that states the child has a dangerous home condition?
CSO_Washudoin says:
*Trennar*: Understood, I'll contact security and send them down to secure the situation.
XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*:  Thank you Mr. Powers.  CIV: Ensign, can you contact the Andorian woman's quarters and see if she responds?
CTO_Powers says:
::Finds his team, and the body... yup, definitely still smells fresh, and looks like suicide::
Host Trennar says:
*CSO*: Thank you friend, and please, keep this quiet.
CMO_D`han says:
::looks surprised at the jump in the biosigns of the baby:: CO: Look... a two percent increase. I wonder what is doing it.... ::rushes to a console to look at the log of life sign activity:: CO: Yes. I think so.
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir. ::buzzes the Andorian's quarters and waits for her to answer::
CTO_Powers says:
*XO*: Commander, I've got more information for you.
CSO_Washudoin says:
*Trennar*: Understood, Sir. Quiet it is. :: Wonders what that is all about ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CMO: Then keep the PADD nearby, I might want you to take official custody of the child. Do you understand?
Host Tala says:
*CIV*: Hello?
CMO_D`han says:
::looks at the CO stunned:: CO: Me? I... well... um.... as a temporary thing?
CIV_Mrlr says:
*Tala*: Ensign Mrlr here, We have the captain of a Pakled Freighter that insists on speaking to one of the twelve guardians.
XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: Go ahead, Mr. Powers.
CTO_Powers says:
*XO*: Security has found a suicide victim on the Promenade.  And the group which has gathered has begun to speak about the apocalypse, if the child should die.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CMO: Technically, I would be the official guardian, however, I do think you'd be better suited to care for her.
CSO_Washudoin says:
*CTO*: Mr. Powers, Trennar has made a request that some of his crew may need to be arrested. If you would take a look but keep it quiet. keep me informed of the situation.
CTO_Powers says:
::Spreads his men out to check the surrounding area, as this is out of the way... security measures begin popping up into place as another several officers arrive and set up a perimeter.::
Host Tala says:
*CIV*: Oh?  That will be fine.  Please let me speak with him, they all must know.
CMO_D`han says:
::breathes a sigh of relief:: CO: I understand. Yes. I think we in the infirmary can continue to care for her.
CTO_Powers says:
::Furrows his brows:: *CSO*: Aye, sir.  I'll check it out as soon as possible... but don't you find it odd that they're making such a request?  Usually Klingons are able to handle their own, aren't they?
CIV_Mrlr says:
*Tala*: Yes ma'am.  I'm patching him through now. ::patches the freighter through to the guest quarters::
XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: Hmm...initiate increased security protocols.  Quietly bring more of your security staff to the Promenade.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Ensign, lock down communications in and out of the station.
CTO_Powers says:
*CTO*: I'll see what I can do, but we're reaching the maximum level of secrecy.. too many more, and people will figure it out.
XO_Danforth says:
*CTO*: Understood, Mr. Powers.  I'm relying on your skill and expertise in this situation.
CSO_Washudoin says:
*CTO*: That is my thought exactly, that's why urge you tread with caution. Take some men with you if you feel, I'll inform the XO.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::nods:: CMO: Now with that out of the way, since suicides aren't a common event, I think I'd like to take a look at the body with you when you get the chance.
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir...but that will cut off the Pakled freighter from the guardians. ::begins to lock down the com channels::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Understood.  Do it immediately.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::cuts down all channels:: XO: Communications secured.
CMO_D`han says:
::nods:: CO: I'll probably look at it as soon as it gets here.
Host Tala says:
*CIV*: There seems to be a problem.  The Captain and I were speaking and the com signal cut off, can you fix it?
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Issue a statement to all ships waiting that communications are currently being closed because of a situation on the Promenade and will be restored in short order.
CTO_Powers says:
::His team takes photographic evidence, but finds nothing to suggest a crime scene, so they await the medical team::
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Captain, there's a situation.
CIV_Mrlr says:
*Tala*: We seem to be having a glitch in the communications system.  As soon as I get it fixed I will inform you.
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir. ::sends out a blanket statement to all the waiting ships::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::sighs:: Anyone: This feels like a wake... ::probably said loud enough for the CMO to hear:: ::startled by the com:: *XO*: What is it Commander?
CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Sir, I have some information about a possible reason why the baby was created. It's just a start. And also Trennar has made a request that some of his crew may need to be placed under arrest. He's asked to keep it low key, I've also sent Powers to take a look into it.
CMO_D`han says:
<CSI Team>::arrives on the scene and starts collecting evidence::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Send information to the XO's panel about the baby::
CMO_D`han says:
::looks over at the Captain, and nods in agreement with his general sentiment::
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir, there has been a situation on the Promenade.  Some of the people gathered are beginning to talk about an apocalypse and now someone has died.  I've locked down communications to prevent widespread panic, but I'm afraid the situation on the Promenade will only get worse.
CTO_Powers says:
::Looks up at his team leader:: TeamLeader: Take charge here.  I'm going to check out something else.  ::Heads for the Klingon's guest quarters, wondering what Trennar has for him::

Action: The crowd on the Promenade, numbering about ten, are now all wailing mournfully and many references to the Apocalypse are mentioned.  The mood has turned to one of sorrow.

Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Yes, I've heard of the suicide, but I didn't know word had gotten out. Put the station on full security alert. Curfew is now in affect.
CTO_Powers says:
*SecurityOperations*: Send a single guard to meet me at Trennar's quarters.  Standard sidearm.
XO_Danforth says:
CSO: So you think this is possibly a sign of the End Times?
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Yes, sir.  Full curfew.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Put the station on full security alert.  Tell Mr. Powers to clear the Promenade for safety sake.
CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Sir, my personal feelings have nothing to do with the situation, I can say if it is I'm ready.
CTO_Powers says:
::Navigates the corridors and turbolifts until he gets to Trennar's quarters, where a guard is waiting:: Guard: Let's go.  *Trennar*: Trennar, I am here.  What do you want?
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir. ::hits the big red button::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Miss Mrlr, issue a statement to the station that curfew is now in effect.  It will be lifted as soon as possible.
CIV_Mrlr says:
*CTO*: The station has been placed on full security alert.  The XO wants the promenade cleared as soon as possible for safety sake.

Action: Suddenly there is a bright flash from the viewscreen, in the distance a white bubble forms and then recedes, the tell-tale signature of a warp core explosion.

CTO_Powers says:
*CIV*: Acknowledged.  I'll have it done shortly.
XO_Danforth says:
CSO: Mr. Washudoin, take us to red alert and find out everything you can about that warp core explosion.
CIV_Mrlr says:
*ALL*: Attention, curfew has been placed into effect.  All non-essential personnel are to return to their quarters until further notice.
CTO_Powers says:
::Trennar answers the door and leads him and his guard inside and into a locked adjoining room.  There lay two bodies with their daggers in them::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Turns back to his findings, reading more into the scrolls talked about. Seeing they are of an ancient Sumerian texts, talking of a chaos born child that all shall herald, an Old One called Naryalethatep.::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::looks at her sensors:: XO: Sir, the Pakled freighter exploded.
CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Understood Sir. :: Red Alert ::
CSO_Washudoin says:
::Begins taking reading of the area of the explosion::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Miss Mrlr, are any of the other ships showing sign of warp core overload?
Host CO_Claymore says:
CMO: This is not looking pretty, the purpose of this child has to be discovered.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::scans the surrounding ships:: XO: Checking sir.
CTO_Powers says:
Trennar: These bodies will have to be removed, for safety's sake.  You can do it, or I'll call Sickbay, and they'll come take them to the morgue.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Searches for any weapons fire, or something of the sorts, on the sensors ::
XO_Danforth says:
::taps his communicator for the CO::
CMO_D`han says:
::nods:: CO: I agree. ::thinks about waking Laeessa up:: But Laeessa needs to rest for her to recover. ::gasps:: CO: Sir! Did you see that?! The baby's biosigns just took a dramatic turn for the better... up 20%!
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Sir, there doesn't appear to be any other problems with the remaining ships.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CMO: Prognosis?
XO_Danforth says:
::taps his com badge for the Captain again::
CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Sir, there were 210 Pakled aboard that vessel.
CMO_D`han says:
::looks closer at the signs:: Self: Wow... the DNA is stabilizing... incredible. ::hears the CO:: CO: She would still die with out life support at present, but this is definitely looking better. I wonder what happened.
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Claymore here, but I'm busy at the moment, the child seems to be taking a turn for the better.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Can you determine if the breach was accidental?
CTO_Powers says:
::Trennar responds that Klingons take care of their own... to which Powers wonders why he called him down here, if they did::
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Well, sir, things up here are taking a turn for the worse.  One of the ships has suffered a warp core breach just a few minutes ago.  I've got Ensign Mrlr researching the cause right now and have taken the station to red alert.
CMO_D`han says:
Self: This is a new form of life we have never seen... it is still comprised of the different parts of the 12 species... but it is forming into something else. ::has got to make sure these readings make it to SFM::
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Sir, based on the sensor logs it appears to have been deliberate.
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: What? ::hears CIV:: Scan the other ships, make sure they aren't going to try the same thing!
XO_Danforth says:
*CO* ::nods to the CIV:: Apparently, the explosion was deliberate.
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Yes, sir.  I've got Mr. Washudoin doing that right now.  I'll let you know as soon as he comes up with anything.
CTO_Powers says:
::Trennar explains to him that he was concerned that some of his followers might have reacted to the child, but not like this, as there's no reason for a healthy Klingon to take their own life::
CMO_D`han says:
CO: I have no idea why this sudden increase, maybe because the DNA is finally stabilizing. It is nothing we have done... I don't think.
XO_Danforth says:
CSO: Any new news Mr. Washudoin?  Are any other reactors about to breach?
CIV_Mrlr says:
::listening in on the chatter:: XO: Sir, the other ships are talking about what happened to the Pakled freighter....speculation about why...nothing specific though.
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Perhaps finding a way to stop them from blowing themselves up.   Broadcast an update on the child, tell them that the life-signs are up more than 20% and that the DNA is stabilizing. Doesn't guarantee a good outcome but it is good news.
CSO_Washudoin says:
XO: Reading are still coming in but not as of this moment, Sir.
CTO_Powers says:
::Begins to wonder what the heck is going on here... he gets a report from his team that the first scene is being cleaned up and that they are beginning to clear the Promenade of the last stragglers... and the chanters::
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Sir, what if they are connected somehow?  What if the others believe that self-injury will bring strength to the child?
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: I'm concerned that there might be a mass-suicide which could destroy the station.
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: We have to hope they're killing themselves in grief. Just ask them to hold on and ::pauses for a moment to find the word:: and pray.
XO_Danforth says:
*CO*: Yes, sir.
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Miss Mrlr, please relay the good news about the baby's health and ask all ships to maintain their current status.
CTO_Powers says:
::Thinks about the monster of a report he has to file for all this::
CMO_D`han says:
::takes a moment and prays to the prophets in her own mind::
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir.  ::sends out another blanket message stating that there is good news.  The child is stabilizing and that they should hold their positions and pray::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::looks around:: CMO: has that suicide victim arrived yet?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Continues to keep a lock on the vessels and studying the information he's discovered ::
