This child had simply appeared in their room. All they could do was be quick about figuring out where he went.

When the baby started to cry again Blake turned the child around, his back to Blake's stomach, so he could look at the other people in the room. While the baby continued to scream, he jiggled it lightly, and tried to think straight. It was hard to do above the screeching.

"We should go to the other departments first, make sure no one here has gone missing or anything. If this is a child from the past, someone who works here they'll have vanished right?" He inquired uncertainly. But if he did that should he leave the baby in the time room? "The three of us can split up floors. I'll take ten, nine, and eight. While I check I'll make sure he doesn't case any problems down here. I've already started touching him. So at least we can keep him from getting attached to you two. You two can take seven to one. If it's someone that works in the ministry that would be easiest. We can figure out where the baby goes and put him back in place." He suggested, then glanced at Hunter for approval of the idea.

Hunter was very pleased. Very pleased indeed. Blake's idea was brilliant. "Perhaps you should have been running this department", he said half-jokingly, as he ran through Blake's idea in his head. "I think we'll also need to look for changes in people's appearances and demeanor. The fabric of time is of such frailty that a single event like this, even though the child will consciously forget the event, could have such a massive ripple effect that their whole future is forever changed. And the person doesn't necessarily need to be missing. They may just become duplicated, as normally happens. I think it would be best to assume, at least for now, that we have a time-turner that functioned as it was supposed to, though involuntarily so. If it looks like we're wrong, we can decide on other theories then. Oh, and it might help if we took a picture of him and ask if anyone recognizes him. And I think I'll take 1,2,3, and 4."

Baby calmed down as he was bounced. This is how mommy used to bounce him. It was nice. Feeling safe, he looked around at the other persons. They were big too. And one of them looked like mommy. He stretched his two chubby little hands out and reached towards Addie. "Bwah". For some reason, he couldn't get there. He looked up at the person who was holding him and smiled and then reached back out to Addie. "Bwah!"

Hunter dug around in his desk until he found it. His camera. It was old and he loved it because it took Polaroids. The best way to get a fast picture. He walked over to the infant. "Alright. Can you smile for us? C'mon. Who's a smiley boy", he cooed softly. And perfect. He quickly snapped the picture and turned to the group. "Eh, Baby talk is more effective than regular speech in getting an infant's attention. Studies have shown that infants actually prefer to listen to this type of speech, making it far more probable that they'll understand and respond correctly to what you're asking them to do", he said by way of explanation. He loved kids, but it was embarrassing to do that in front of his team. Now they'd probably respect him even less. Ah well. Immediate concerns shall be dealt with first. He quickly cast Geminio on the photo until he had three copies. "All right, so here is the picture. Let's get started before anything else happens."
