(USS Exeter - FO's Office - Fo Cmdr Alex Jones - 0925)





"My team will afford her all the assistance she needs. It may provide them
with some much needed stimulation. It's been a bit.. what's the word…
pedestrian the last few days."



“Pedestrian is indeed a good word, however, I’ve learned to be careful what
I wish for.” He smiled at his own joke, any number of occasions that this
had happened to him.





"There is something I would like to bring up on a personal note, Sir."





“Speak freely Lieutenant, please.” He shrugged.





"I've been thinking a lot this past month about something. Whilst I love my
position and my team, I want to look into the possibility of working with
another department to further my career. Something like field medical
training. During one of the last missions, I.. had to assist Commander
Bracken with some field surgery and it really made me think about doing
something similar. Not on every mission and I know my main duty is to my
department but it's just another feather to my bow…" Erin paused,  smiled
and continued, ".. sorry, Sir. I'm waffling."



Alex sat back in his chair, thinking for a moment, and sighed gently. “What
you’re talking about is working cross department, building up your skillset
so that on away missions you can act, if need be in a support capacity to
other team members?”

“I like your thinking; as much as we spend how long training to do mission
specific roles, sometimes there’s a situation that warrants someone that
can say…act as a back up pilot because all the others are tied up, and we
need two shuttles to the surface in a plasma storm?” He raised an eyebrow
as he looked at Lieutenant Cortez.



(Reply Cortez)



“Yes, don't be so surprised, I read most people’s files. Call me nosy.” He
shrugged. “I like it. Your first role is and always will be Science of
course, especially on away teams where you will always be expected to fill
the role as science specialist due to your position as CSO. Fail in that
more than once and we’ll have a conversation about dereliction of duty.” He
looked at her, raising his eyebrows. “Fair?”
