[Captain's Log - Date: June 8th, 823 A.S.] [Commander Matthew Hemlock]
Seems as of recent, Ms. Cross has had a decently exciting life. Unusually frightening given her current circumstances, but still exciting. She's been admitted into a hospital on Denver: Wright-Patterson Memorial. I spoke with the doctor who brought her in, and she explained to me that Ms. Cross has what she called 'Koleg's Syndrome'.
Supposed to be a female-only condition (It can't effect males due to us being... males), it effects the way a pregnant woman develops the child. She explained that it was causing all of Ms. Cross' motor functions to cease, and that she subsequently fell into a coma. It's impressive what nature can throw at science to make you think 'What the hell kind of universe do I live in?'
I'm told that she'll survive it, but the child will be delivered within the next few weeks. She made it out for the end of the month, which doesn't seem possible. Again, it is impressive what nature can throw our way. I do hope Mr. Roarke can live without his partner for the duration. They seemed so close.
I have a feeling Ms. Cortez will be racked by this, though. Her closeness to Ms. Cross will cause some undo concern, and I'm afraid Santiago won't be able to help her get past it. I've told her what I could, that she would be fine, but she wouldn't have it.
After all of that, though, I did receive a comm from the last person I'd expect to get anything from: 'Reaper'. While it was full of the expected 'I was following orders' bit, his rather rude AI informed me that he was feeling guilt for the while thing. Maybe 'Reaper' isn't as ruthless as I though he was...
