Green Children

Eli Tamoris looked at what sat in sickbay before him flanked by a half-dozen security officers, Captain Corizon and three nurses. On first look, he thought it was an Orion child. Second look revealed it to be the missing baby Zier painted (he hoped) green and wearing in her infantile hair a small skull for a hairbret.

 

Dr. Wydown had asked him to come down for an examination, as he was the only one of the primary alpha shift doctors who didn't have any real connections to the aforementioned parents and if something were terribly wrong, wouldn't go yapping before they had been cleared for such information.

 

“So, Doctor,” Ah-Windu said, “what do you think?”

 

“It's green,” Eli said, moving towards the baby with an open tricorder.

 

Julie. That was it's name. Eli sighed as he began looking over the readings. The child stirred slightly, handling all the commotion rather well. “She appears to be in perfect health.”

 

“That's good news.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“What about...” Ah-Windu stumbled a bit, trying to place the word. “The tint?”

 

Closing the tricorder, Eli moved towards the small table of instruments. “Oh,” he said. “We'll have to do a full analysis on it before we can tell what it is. I suspect it will wash right off. Let the parents know that as soon as we run one more test and get her washed up, they can see her.”

 

Corizon nodded. “I'll let them know.”

"Doctor?"

 

"Yes, Andrea?"

 

"She's..."

 

Eli looked over to the nurse, Petty Officer Andrea Gaines. "She's what?"

 

"Well," the seasoned nurse said with a look of concern. "She's still green!"

 

"Oh dear."

 

"We've tried everything to get it off... but that stuff is good whatever it is."

 

"The parents aren't going to like that."

 

"I can't imagine so," Andrea said with a sigh.

 

"Any results back from the tests on the stuff?"

 

"Not yet Eli."

 

Eli took a deep breath and exhaled. "I'll talk to Dr. Wydown and see what she wants to do..."
