Beck: If you're interested, I would be happy to offer some cross-training for you. You've already proven you can manage things when necessary, so I figure it wouldn't hurt to let you put in some hours in Sickbay when you're done with your day. ::raising a hand:: But I don't need an answer right away - just floating the idea.
Their eyes widened before they smiled. That seemed like a positive reaction.
Shortrith: May I ask what you mean by cross-training?
Quentin slid his hand across the headrest of the chair before settling into it, crossing one leg over the other, and propping his elbows on the armrests.
Beck: Exactly what it sounds like. I know you already put in a lot of hours in Sickbay on the Astraeus before swapping hats to become Counselor, so I don't need to worry about teaching you the basics. But I can provide a lot of opportunity to handle things you probably never got the chance to before, and then some. There's a lot more to being a Medical officer than just healing the sick when they wander into Sickbay.
There was a brief moment of silence as they considered. He wasn't worried about it, though - he could already tell they had taken the bait, hook, line, and sinker. They wouldn't be Syrex… but it wasn't fair to Syrex or Shortrith to expect that, either. The Klingon nodded.
Shortrith: I'm interested.
Beck: Excellent. Consider yourself hired.
Shortrith: Any chance you could elaborate?
Chuckling a little, he nodded and leaned back in his seat, steepling his fingers together beneath his chin and studying them intently.
Beck: Well, that depends greatly on what exactly you would be interested in learning. There are a lot of different avenues. You could stay focused on just patient diagnosis and treatment, or you could expand to something more complex like surgery.
Shortrith: Response
One hand dropped into his lap, the other holding up his chin.
Beck: Optionally, you could focus on a specific part of the anatomy and try to become something of a specialist - like me, my primary focus has always been neuro, but my skills cover a wider range than that. Being a Counselor, though, that might end up taking more of your time than you want. Still worth considering.
Shortrith: Response
Beck: There's also always the research track. That leans a little more towards Science in some cases, depending on what it is you're wanting to research, but the work can be good and fulfilling. That's some of what I've been doing with Division 14. ::a beat:: Anything sound good?
Shortrith: Response
