" Yeah, that's the risk we run with making friends or getting too close to
people, but she can always go with you. No offense but they have holograms
who can do her job, maybe not as good. Too be honest a hologram can teach ,
but you're being presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity. If she
wanted to, she could relocate and take a posting near you. Starfleet
medical has tons of openings on earth and Mars,  hell even the Utopia
Planitia fleet yards have openings all the time. Engineers tear their
bodies apart working there." Ethan suggested.

"I don't think a hologram could really replace a physical therapist. I
think it could approximate things, sure, but there is a certain special
touch that only flesh and blood hands can muster. But then again I am old
school. I don't even like EMHs. Give me a real doctor any day. But
regardless, I need to tell Cerise, but I just...don't want to spook her."

Ethan placed a hand on Brightwood's shoulder.

" The best advice is to talk to her about it as soon as possible. Give her
time to think and prepare. If things don't work out I'm sure she can
request a transfer back. The captain let me have a damn robot." Ethan
laughed. " So having a member of his crew come back should be nothing. "

"Its a lot easier to give someone a pet robot than facilitate personnel
transfers. Even if I left and tried to come back, there is still a chance
that some other ship might get first pick, so to speak. So, I may never
make my way back."

(reply Ethan)

"There is another issue. When I went to the Academy instead of Oxford, when
I decided to be an engineer instead of an academic my mother stopped
speaking to me, other than the bare minimum pleasantries. Even though I
double majored in Engineering and Philosophy, my mother still looked at me
like I had broken her heart by not going into academia.  I know that this
move could repare my relationship with my mum."

(reply Ethan)

"But I shouldn't take a position just so my mum will love me again, right?"
