Cadet Schweitzer replied, “My family has a legacy of service. I am just continuing it.” Schweitzer wondered if this line of questioning would lead back to the work. However, he knew better than to ask a question of a superior before being asked for one.

“I see,” Tija replied and leaving it at that. Instead she asked, “Have you specialised in a certain field yet? And what areas do you think you’re lacking in?” Her green eyes were still fixed on him, trying to take in as much as possible about him. While know one would consider her to be someone with great social skills, she did have an eye for taking in details and found that you could learn things about people as much by listening to them as by watching them.

Cadet Schweitzer replied, “I specialize in alien disease process and specifically on pathogens that can spread from one species to another. I lack experience in working with colleagues as most of my research in medical school and during my residency was independent. I look forward to being a part of your team.” Schweitzer took a deep breath and steadied his gaze at the Lieutenant. He hoped that was a satisfactory answer because it was the truth. He was a solitary person by nature and had little experience working and living with others.

Tija nodded here and there while she listened intently. Leaning slightly forwards, with her crossed arms resting on the desk, she said, “It is always a good start to acknowledge one’s shortcomings. And trust me, serving on any Starfleet vessel means that you will get ample training in working in a team. And even those of us who initially struggle with that, do get better at it over time.” She gave Schweitzer a hint of a knowing smile as if to say, ‘I’ve been there myself.’
