"Honestly, I'm fine. I only requested to come on the ship for medical reasons," said Kaiirin, a pretty, headstrong red-head Isoninian Ambassador who had recently boarded the Enterprise.
"That's the reason I want to keep you here." Dr. Crusher insisted, as Kaiirin's 'affliction' had not been as slight as Kaiirin would pass it off as.
"I realize that as the ship's doctor, as a doctor in general, you want to keep us here for observations because of the circumstances… but seriously, I have no reason to stay any further." Kaiirin's look was severe.
"But-"
"I realize that my affliction could have been harmful to my baby, but that's the only reason I requested medical assistance in the first place."
"If you have to look at it that way, here are the medications you should take with you for the pain until surgery after your child's birth. Also, I want you to stay on this ship until after you've delivered that baby, so I can make sure you both are okay. "
"Thank you, Dr. Crusher. I'm very-"
A voice from Dr. Crusher's communicator cut in.
"Dr. Crusher to the transporter room, hurry!"
She apologized, and then swiftly left.
In the transporter room, a pearly white, metallic 'egg' had been collected from in front of the ship. It seemed to have a single button on top, with the instructions underneath, 'Press Me.'
Dr. Crusher scanned it with her tri-corder, revealing that there were no harmful particles in it, and also that there was a life-form inside.
"I believe it would not be wise to open this until we know what the being inside is." The science officer, Data, reported.
Dr. Crusher disagreed. "The life form is apparently female, and from the looks of this, a humanoid child. I can't get a reading of if she's conscious or not, and if she is, she could be scared. She's not carrying anything harmful to anyone on the Enterprise. Pressing the button must open the device, so do so."
"Mr. Data, take the device into one of the holding decks and open it. If it's dangerous, we'll be able to contain it."
Data nodded, and then used the energizer to teleport him, and the device into Holding Deck Nine. Then he pressed the button.
Petals fell from the egg-like device, and fell to the floor looking quite like a strange flower. On the base that was left, the form a child in the fetal position uncurled and looked up through golden blond bangs which straight bowl-cut curve suggested she could be at least part Vulcan. But her ears were… furred and elongated. Like some sort of felinous creature mixed with Vulcan. But the child also appeared somewhat human. With her eyes still closed, she sniffed the air then frowned. Opening her eyes, she looked around. Her back was to Data, so when she caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye, she squeaked and jumped forward. Her long hair covered her body, though it was apparent that she had no clothes. Her eyes were wide and feral, her confusion showing through her gestures.
