== The following day 10.00 hrs - Chief Medical Officer's Office, Deck 12 Main Sickbay ==
== Assuming all the invites have arrived. ==
"Thank you all for coming to this meeting," said LCdr Lim as she closed and locked the door to ensure privacy and that they were not disturbed, "and my apologies to you Ens Mala, if I have caused any discomfort or embarrassment to you by call members of the senior staff to discuss your medical condition... So, let's get started."
"As you all know, Ens Mala is pregnant. The Father is not here and as per Ens Mala expresses wishes and will not be involved. I might add, this is against my advice but I bow to the Ensign's wishes in this matter."
"The procedure is relatively quite simple and I've discussed this with Ens Mala earlier this morning. To bring all of us up to speed, we have the medical equipment and expertise to go ahead with the procedure Ens Mala has requested, to place the embryo into cryostasis until such time as Jes is ready to give birth. I will do the procedure and Dr Langston will assist me. Without going into the technical jargon basically we will perform a site-to-site medical transport transfer of the embryo to the cryostasis chamber. The chamber is quite small and compact. The procedure is not painful, or harmful to the mother or child. The child can be kept in cryostasis for ... well, eternity, as long as there is a power supply, which is minimal, and the chamber is maintained correctly and the state of the embryo is monitored regularly for any changes."
"So, I have recommended to Jez that we find a suitable facility off the ship where the protection for the child and the chamber are at a premium."
"I'll open up this for discussion now, and I'll ask you, Captain, is my recommendation possible at this time? And I'd just remind everyone we are here to discuss the placement of the cryochamber with the child and how that may be achieved, given we are on a Federation Starship about to go on a mission."
I fear this will not go down well, but I'll see how it goes. Lois nervously waited for the captain's answer and for the discussion to begin.
== Tag Captain Books and anyone else who wants to chime in, Ens Mala, LCdr Kurasa, Cdr Talion. ==
