signment going forward? Or do you see yourself as more planet or station based?”

Korczak, CNS

“I’m an astronomer, only so much can be done on a station.” Douglas chuckled.

(Cadet. Douglas. Science)

“Mmmm… possibly. So is your desire for knowledge and scientific exploration greater than your disdain for working in a group setting?”

Korczak, CNS

Douglas gave a loud audible chuckle, “Aye, I’d do anything for an opportunity for scientific exploration, no matter what I consider as a maj- minor inconvenience”

(Cadet. Douglas. Science)

Bump

Korczak watched him intently for a moment, and then said “So how do you feel your disdain for working with others will effect those you work with? Those that will need to rely on you for support and assistance?”

Korczak, CNS

Douglas gave a small sigh before closing his eyes. “Guess not too much, may raise my voice a bit, but otherwise, just a drop on my performance”

(Cadet. Douglas. Science)

Korczak pushed the glasses up and then shook his head. “Perhaps I phrased the question oddly. What I meant is how do you think your behaviour will effect them. How do you expect your desire to work alone to benefit… or hamper… the success and failures of what ever Science section you find yourself assigned to? Because, please remember this… we succeed or fail as a crew, not just individuals.”

Korczak, CNS

Douglas opened his eyes giving himself a moment to think. “I may rush them, or demoralise them. I’ve, well almost learned to control it. As a crew I understand the importance of success, at that point I just hamper myself.”

(Cadet. Douglas. Science)

Korczak replied “A crew is not judged solely on their successes, Cadet. Working in a cohesive manner even if they fail is an important factor in a ship’s health.” and he paused and looked intently at the young man. “Tell me, did you have many friends at the Academy? What were they like?”

Korczak, CNS

Douglas stared up at a moment thinking, “no, he didn’t like me, wait: yes. I had one friend, well you could say friend, or you could not. No, the answer is no.”

(Cadet. Douglas. Science)

Bump

Korczak cocked an eyebrow and grinned slightly. “You… um… are aware that your answer is both contradictory and somewhat… convoluted? Perhaps you would care to expand on this friend who wasn’t a friend who you may or may not have had.” and he looked at the Cadet with peaked interest.

Korczak, CNS

Douglas gave a sigh before admitting, “I didn’t have any friends, I was left to my own devices, I usually just kept in contact with family.”

(Cadet. Douglas. Science)

Korczak didn’t judge or react. He simply said “And why was that, Cadet? By choice? Or by circumstance?”

Korczak, CNS

Douglas gave a limp response. “Partly by choice and my attitude.”

(Cadet. Douglas. Science)

“Hm. I see. Was your attitude choice, or was there… is there… something contributing to that?”

Korczak, CNS

“Not exactly sure” As if he were repeating the question to himself.
