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: I did do a little bit of research when I had some spare time on the Astraeus… ::they let out a dry, slightly sad laugh:: The only downside is they all sound good.

Quentin grinned.

Beck: Spoiled for choice? If only everything was like that. ::shrugging a shoulder:: Still - there's gotta be some preference, right?

Shortrith: Maybe finessing my surgical skills?

He nodded and sat up straighter in his seat, letting his hand fall from his jaw.

Beck: Considering you've got two of Starfleets finest Surgeons on the Ronin right now, I think that's a great choice. Lieutenant Commander Kel knows what he's doing, and Thessalonia…

He sighed, shaking his head a little and rubbing his fingers into his eyes.

Beck: She's the lead surgeon for Division 14 for a reason. Anyway.

Standing, Quentin extended his hand, and the Klingon shook it firmly.

Shortrith: You've got me sold.

Beck: Excellente. I will see about arranging some time to work with one of them, and if you decide there's anything else you want to pursue, just let me know. There's lots of opportunities to learn on a ship like the Ronin.

Shortrith: Response

Alice, who had been sitting quietly on the corner of his desk, padded over to the Counselor and mewed a greeting, tail flicking side to side.

Beck: She likes you. That's pretty good, considering - she usually gives new people the cold shoulder until after they give her a treat.

Shortrith: Response

Beck: Frankly, I trust her judgment more than a lot of people out there. She can usually tell.

He reached out to carefully collect the ragamuffin kitty, tucking her into his arms and stroking the back of her head.

Beck: Go get some rest. We'll talk again later.

Shortrith: Response

[End scene for Beck!]
