Narrative:
I was working a few aircraft inbound. An air carrier flight said he lost hydraulics and was declaring an emergency. I immediately turned out the front aircraft so they would be out of the way. I slowed the traffic over the arrival path then went back to the flight to get more information and notify my supervisor of what I knew at the time. The supervisor plugged in with me; and I passed as much information as I could to the approach controller. I also had the other aircraft to deal with; and a VFR aircraft looking for an IFR clearance.
