Nijix noticed the change in his posture, his tone shifted slightly and eagerness to latch onto the new subject. It seemed her instinct was right to change the subject. She listened to him list the areas he focused on while she typed notes, mentally determining the best role for him onboard the ship and adding to her personal logs.

“ It’s always best to have experience beyond your field in the event of an emergency,” Nijix praised, as she stopped typing.

Her fingers folded up in front of her while she considered something.

“Do you have any duties you prefer to avoid or have lacking experience in?”

Simon thought for a moment, back to his academy classes. “I mean, when it comes from telling a dimensional seal accelerator from a electrostatic flux calibrator, I am pretty hopeless, so I guess that’s why I never did well in my Engineering classes, but anything in the relation to Security I’m pretty much open to do, and I’m still looking to learn in other fields. After all, that is what I’m here to do,” he smiled again.

“As to things I wish to avoid, nobody enjoys the more routine tasks, but they still need to be done. After all, the less admirable duties are sometimes the more important. Someone has to watch the brig, even when it’s empty, after all. They might be tedious tasks, but it’s part of the job. After all, the ship doesn’t get boarded by hostiles every day,” he added

Nijix nodded. She agreed a lot with the statement. In her years on a ship, she recalled doing numerous tasks she viewed to be mindless, but they were still life savers in the end. Without them, things would’ve gotten a lot worse.

She glanced at her PADD once more, then asked another question.

“I fully agree with you there. Any injuries I should be aware of?” Nijix narrowed her eyes slightly in order to detect any lacking truths.

Simon remembered back to his physical examination that he had when he first boarded the challenger. “Actually, something that would be treatable, but sickbay said I would need to clear it with you first. I sometimes get a tingling sensation in my left hand.” He informed her of what the cadet mentioned to him and remembered that he was told to speak to his Chief about it. That was while Casen was still on board, though he hadn’t had the opportunity to ask him before he transferred off the ship.

“It’s nothing major, I mean my right hand is the dominant one, but I have recently developed an aneurysm there, according to the sickbay. It’s nothing major, just the odd tingling sensation, but if you want me to go to sickbay and get that sorted, well - I can consider that as position” Starr answered, more as an offhand comment than something of serious note.
