Abel thought for a moment as he chewed and, washing down the bit of food, he said “Well, if I don’t I don’t know who my family would task with managing this… probably one of their - ” and he made air quotes with his fingers ” - ‘business associates’. And that would be either just as bad… or actually even worse… than if they were still in control. So from that aspect, I think I should. But I think the bigger question, and specifically what I need your help with, is… what do I do with this? Feed the hungry? Make sure children have clothes and education? Create a think tank for some task? I mean, this could be a huge benefit to people if it’s done right. And once I know where to direct this… structure… I can just let it do it’s thing and show up when I am on leave.” and he chuckled slightly.

“Well, doing something good is noble but, what do you want? I have a feeling no one ever asks you that. What is your interest? Passions? You need to be able to pick that and go with something you can have a love for. If you don’t then this becomes all just a burden, and not one you will want to keep up on.” Calin asked as he took a sip from his tea. This was a unique prospect, to be able to make something that reflects you.

Abel paused and thought long in silence. Finally speaking, he said “Honestly, Captain… I don’t know. All I have ever wanted was to help people. Medicine was the road to that goal. Thankfully I am also good at it.” and he chuckled. “But this… This is something all together different. I don’t… I don’t know much about passion… but I do know that I want to use this to help people. And… and…” and he took a deep breath and said “And I know I don’t know you all that well, sir… But I wanted to ask you what you think would be a good purpose? I trust you to at least have a broader perspective than I have. And I would appreciate your input in this.”

“Then we help, how about a medical foundation for colony planets that don’t have access as much to Starfleet medicine? You could aid other planets from the safety of the ship and still give the aid these people can’t always get. I know of a few worlds that could really use some, and even non Federation worlds that are not affiliated could also use the help. Federation tries to aid them too but that is something that could help there too. Lot of frontier worlds need that help.” Calin suggested, wondering what Abel would think of that.
“If not that, medical research is always needed as well, new diseases found all the time need cures.”

Abel sat and thought about the idea for a moment. “We could not only provide medical supplies, but we could build clinics, hire staff, provide training programs… Captain, that is a great idea! Thank you!”
Abel, CMO
“Anytime, name one of the facilities after me though. I like it to be a big one, something flashy maybe? Calin Institute of Higher Medicine?” Calin said smirking a bit as he had a bit of fun with Abel.

Abel smiled and then laughed. “Deal. I’ll make sure you get the best seat at the dedication gala, as well.”
