Track 02 [04'41]1
The star was a supergiant and very old. Over billions of years the forces that had powered through its long life had finally exhausted themselves.Now it was falling in upon itself.
The karyoklastic gravitational collapse triggered the spectacular explosion known as the supernova.What was left at the core of the super giant was nitrogen star cold and dense and dead*. Everything else was blown outward,creating a brilliantly glowing shockwave travelling nearly at the speed of light that swept up everything in its path.For a day or two.The supernova remnant would shine more brightly than any other corner of the galaxy.
A star had died.
Elsewhere in the cosmos, in an unremarkable corner of one galactic arm, a child was born.Such is the balance of existence.Though its arrival was considerably less dramatic as the passing of the supergiant, it was in its own way no less remarkable.As some stars have unusual origins so too the squalling infant.At the moment, this was not the concern of the trio medical specialists who are attending the delivery.Reflecting as well as honoring their own ancient culture the actual birthing is a combination of traditional and ultramodern.The formal ensure the occasion will be memorable for the mother, while the latter precluded any possibility of miscarriage.Though they have overseen hundreds of births, the medical team's attendance has been especially focused on the one that took place this morning.It was not because the father happens to be of high status and have very important position in the goverment, it was because of the mother.
Different.
As she cling to the newborn the elder of the two specialist noted the infant's steady breathing as well as the force with which he kicked.His occasional squalling rose above the soft traditional music that filled the room.
"He is strong, this one." Carefully, she past it to the mother. As she took the offspring in her arms, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes and began to trickled down her smooth cheeks.
"Hello."She whipsered to her child.
Taking her superior's side, the younger specialist murmured softly as she studied the tender bonding and peculiar weeping."The baby is healthy,why do she cry?"
The elder woman replied as if explaining everything.
"She is human."
It did explain everything.
A distant buzz cause both of them to turn."Sarek arrives."The senior of the two specialist observed.His breathing was labored from haste with which he travelled, but Sarek remained completely under control. In other words, for a new vulcan father, he was normal.Though he regarded the exhausted mother of their child without smiling, the pride and affection he felt shone clearly on his face.Though they betrayed no emotion, all the attendants in the room strained from a better look**. Details of the pregnancy and subsequent delivery was hardly conventional and the attendats' curiosity was understandable.
As her aspiration returns to normal, Amanda Grayson regarded her newborn proudly.Though she was the only human in the delivery chamber, she did not feel isolated, or alone. It was a state of affairs to which she has grown accustom, and one that she had willingly embraced.Besides, she was hardly alone. Sarek was there, her husband was there, and about time too. Pushing back his hood, Sarek approached the bed and knelt besided it as the attendant past the child to its mother.Having completed her duties, the medical specialist stepped back to allow the parent their first moment together as a complete family.Like her companions, the specialist said nothing. It was not her job to comment on the singular circumstances of the birth, and certainly not the time to do so.Her task and those of her associates was to bring newborn safely into the world, this they had done, with skill and precision and caring. Any personal opinion that might hold can be entirely private***.To do otherwise would have been impolitic.
Sarek knelt beside the bed, beside his wife and child.
"Well done."
