Shui's eyebrow, one of the consistant tell-tales on her face (one of the only tell-tales much of the time) rises at the sight of the myriad of exclamation points, but she forbears comment. Instead, she greets Miles with a smile, and nods to him. "My thanks, Mr. Janur. And thank you," she says to the children, giving them a small bow. "We have been looking for this particular boarder for some time. Well seized."
The doctor efficiently prepares a quick transfer between bottles. The creature does not look healthy in the slightest, and she needs to know why. Also, she feels terrible for it - the arthropod looks downright miserable. Taking great care, the doctor urges it into the second, sealable container, then takes primary container, book, and sealed insect with her when she leaves. "I shall return this," she states, from the door, "when I have finished an examination of the stowaway."
Her smile fades as she paces the hall, on the way to her quarters. This brings her through the lounge once again. "Captain Lanza, we have the arthropod in question - whether or not it has laid more eggs is open to anyone's guess. However..." She holds up the container. "It appears injured. Perhaps ill. I need to examine it, determine if it holds an infection of some kind...and what that might do to us."
The woman gives the room a quick smile. "Likely nothing. But it never hurts to study these things."
