There was the nticipated scramble to ask as many questions as
possible, in hopes that one or two woudl get answered. The corwd seemed not
to care much for the statement that was made, but rather to grab at anything
to feed their need for information.
The crowd did disperse, somewhat, but not exactly how renaud had wanted
it to. Sickbay was not impeeded or blocked in any way, but it was not the
best of working arrangements.
