Sinclair cocked his head to the side slightly. “And how do you feel about having to take time away from your research to fill in an empty line of your personnel record, Doctor?” and he took a sip of his own and set the cup back down.

He started to place his glass back down, but stayed his hand, preferring something to occupy them “The Saracen has research facilities, small as they may be. There’s no reason I can’t continue some of my research here. I was in the same position on Starbase 91, just with a larger lab and an office that didn’t have a storied history as a broom closet. I understand, as my father never did, that in order to work with the best, you had to join the best. I don’t want to spend the rest of my career at the whim of the Federation Research Council. I want to make a difference, and that means Starfleet, which means rules and procedures. I’m happy to follow those, inconvenient as they may be. I have a lot of life ahead of me to get things done. A six-month detour aboard a starship is hardly life-altering.

Doctor Nathaniel Harrison (CMO)

Sinclair looked at him and a slight wry smile crossed his face. “I think you may be surprised at the effect even a short duration on board a star ship can have, Doctor. Most surprised, indeed.” and he took a sip of his tea. “May I ask what your research is about? And how you came to be interested in the subject?”

Sinclair, CNS

He shrugged sceptically, unconvinced that he would develop some improbable love of service aboard a starship. He became slightly more animated when discussing his research “my specialty is interspecies virology and immunology. I’ve made several breakthroughs over the years, but my ultimate goal is to develop standardized care and treatment protocols that work universally. There are a surprising number of genetic components that species we have discovered seem to share. In theory that provides for the possibility of universal treatments. I discovered the mechanism by which viruses jump between species some years ago and that was a first step to identifying the common genetic factors that can be manipulated for treatment”

Doctor Nathaniel Harrison (CMO)

Sinclair nodded in appreciation. “That is quite the lofty goal. But it seems that you have a solid basis for your work.” and he paused for moment and then said “So let me ask you this, Doctor. How do you see you time aboard the Saracen aiding your research? What are the positives you have found in your present assignment?”

Sinclair, CNS
