Host Susan says:
Mission Summary:

All repairs to the ships damaged during the fight with the Breen have been completed, and preparations have been made for the journey to take the Tralfamdrites to their home world.  One of the Federation males gave birth prematurely to the Tralfamdrite children that he was carrying, and the others wait their time of delivery.  The father and children are progressing nicely.

Once the father and children were stabilized; all senior staff, pregnant medical personnel, and Tralfamdrites were transported to the awaiting ships to begin the journey.  The ETA for the entire journey was 2 weeks and now that a week has passed, the Tralfmadrites are becoming eager to return home to the cold welcome climate that awaits them.

AXO_Washudoin says:
ACO: Sir, we've detected a vessel on long-range sensors, checking the make now.

MO_Mahl says:
*ACO*: Understood, sir.

Host ACO_Danforth says:

Host ACO_Danforth says:
AXO: Let's see if they talk to us.

MO_Mahl says:
CMO: I was the CMO on the USS Don Johnson.  Even before I was able to go aboard that ship, I found myself being turned to stone.  I hoped to be able to take a step backwards, and relax and learn a bit.  But no! Heaven forbid!  I have to take an assignment where all the men are pregnant!

CMO_Galen says:
:: nods :: MO: Go... I'll scream when I'm ready for you. okay

MO_Mahl says:
Speaking of which, I hope we have the space for all the new arrivals.  How many pregnant people do we have on board?

CMO_Galen says:
MO: a fair number. 5 I believe.

Host ACO_Danforth says:
COMM: Romulan ship: This is the Federation ship USS Boowa.  Can we help you today?

Host Dugawl says:
ACTION: Several of the Tralfamdrite males go into labor at once.

MO_Mahl says:

MO_Mahl says:
::arrives back in sickbay to the screams of a bunch of men in labor::

Host ACO_Danforth says:
COMM: Romulan: Please identify yourself Romulan vessel.  We are escorting guests back to their home world.

MO_Mahl says:
::Looks around sickbay at the other medical staff:: 

Host Dugawl says:
ACTION: The medical staff works in a frenzy to help the delivering males.  

Host ACO_Danforth says:
*MO*: Might I suggest that you begin beaming some of the Tralfamdrite males to the other ships?  They can help with the labor process.

Host ACO_Danforth says:
AXO: Please alert the other ships about incoming sickbay help.

MO_Mahl says:
::points to a few medics:: Med Staff: Ok, you, you and you, you are now maternity doctors.  Each of you take a biobed and a patient, and begin working on them.  The delivery actually goes very smoothly.  All you need to do is make sure the babies do not fall to the ground.

MO_Mahl says:
*ACO*: The Tralfamdrite males are cleared for beam out, whatever ship is available for them, please send them!

Host Dugawl says:
COMM: Sub Commander Dugawl of the Warbird Kaosh.  Who are these guests of yours?

AXO_Washudoin says:

Host ACO_Danforth says:
AXO: Look for any pirate traffic.

Host ACO_Danforth says:
CEO: Research for any recent pirate activity in the area.

AXO_Washudoin says:

CEO: Go ahead, Chief.

CMO_Galen says:
:: glares at the MO: MO: remind me why did I volunteer for this.

MO_Mahl says:
::walks over to the CMO, gives him a small injection of pain killer, rolls him onto his belly, and guides the babies off of the CMO's shoulders::

CEO_Hoyt says:
ACO/AXO:I didn't want to scare the Junior officers...Seems that there is a recent increase in pirate activity. Presumably it's the Orion Syndicate. But there is also something else.
