The Andorian was not much a person for having a specific plan, unless needbe. There was morals and basic procedures which she followed, however, she never boarded a ship thinking: ‘This is all I’m going to do with my life, here.’ If anything, she was open minded, despite that coldshoulder. “Have there been any particular experiments, which you have conducted or participated within, that had notable results?”

“Quite some time ago now, I fear,” Johnson said. “Ever since Starfleet decided to move me into Command, the scientific breakthroughs passed me by.

“I used to focus my work into stellar phenomena,” Johnson explained. “There’s a paper somehwhere about modelling the gravitional waves produced by colliding white dwarfs. What it doesn’t talk about was trying to replicate a scaled-down model in the ship’s holodeck… I still can’t quite recall who was angrier at me afterwards - my captain or the chief engineer. Let’s just say we made some… unexpected… breakthroughs on a previously unknown effect that certain gravitational waves had on warp fields.”

Amusement tinged the pale grey of the Scientist’s eyes. Perhaps it was the relatable nature of his attempts to scale this model down, in order to to replicate it in the holodeck. Of course, Engineers and opposing departments might not understand the madness that compelled the scientist to do such. However, it was no secret; Scientists were madmen dressed in pretty blues.

“What is this paper called, sir, if you don’t mind me asking?” Eshrallias was curious to the contents of this paper, and what discoveries the Captain had made, during his unbeknownst efforts to irritate his CO and the Chief Engineer.

Johnson’s brow creased as he thought for a moment, his prosthetic hand rubbing the bearded chin. “Hmmm.... it’s been a while now. Something uninspiring I recall, like ‘Effects of double degenerate Type 1A gravity on subspace fields’. If I recall, the replicating of the gravitational waves is in the paper - including a very stern warning not to repeat the experiment outside of a controlled environment.”

“Well, Lieutenant, I hope you keep me updated with whatever you come up with your science team. Possibly before mirroring my own youthful attempts at wrecking my assigned ships,” Johnson said with a grin.

(OOC: Might want to wrap things up with the thread as I’m about to declare an LOA.)
