Savel was walking through the corridors of Deck 8, looking at the different laboratories present. While being equipped with the classical lab, two of them were solely dedicated to Biology and Chemistry, a necessary add-on for a medical starship.
I’ll have the opportunity to visit them later, thought the Vulcan. For now, he had a meeting with his superior, Lieutenant Kane. His office was on the same deck as the lab, and it didn’t take long for Savel to find it.
As he arrived, the Vulcan activated the chime and waited for an answer.

The door slid open silently to reveal a wholly chaotic mess. It almost appeared as if someone had broken in trashed the office trying to find something, if it wasn’t for the man seated at the desk. With his feet kicked up on the table and a PaDD in his hand, the man did not look like a scientist. He barely looked like a member of Star Fleet. His uniform shirt was open at that top exposing his black undershirt. A mane of wild hair cascaded down his face on one side and fell almost to his shoulders, and the other side was shaved halfway up from his ear, the rest combed across his head to fall down the other side. Colored markings- tattoos- peeked out form under his t-shirt and partially up his neck. HIs hands, too, were completely covered in tattoos. The man’s face shifted and an almost feral look came across his features. “What? What do you want?” he almost growled at the new arrival.

Kane, CSO / R&D
Savel froze for exactly 10 seconds, and he knew for sure since he counted them while processing this unexpected situation. Curious, he thought, I was pretty sure it was the CSO office…

After a moment, he cleared his throat and says : “Pardon my intrusion, sir. I believe I have mistaken your closet for the Chief Science’s Office. If you could indicate it to me.” Not for a second, in all the possible situations he made in his head, Savel couldn’t suspect this man to be the CSO.

Lieutenant Savel

There was a long pause accompanied by a more than slightly hostile glare. “This is the CSO’s office. And I’m the CSO. So, for the second time, what do you want?” he asked coldly.

Kane, CSO
Savel raised his eyebrows, processing the impossible information. Never would I have believed it was possible to meet such a… particular officer. Fascinating… He took a better composure and says : “I’m Lieutenant Savel, reporting for duty, sir.” Looking around the mess that was in the room, he added: “Did I disturb you ?”

Lieutenant Savel

OOC: Sorry for the delay, RL has been hectic.

IC: “Not real quick on the uptake there, are ya?” Kane growled and then exhaled loudly before moving his feet off the desk, leaning forward, and glaring at the new arrival. “Okay, so you are reporting for duty. Great. What exactly do you think that duty is, Savel?”

Kane, CSO
Savel enters the room a bit further, careful not to walk on anything laying on the ground before he crossed his hands in the back.
The Vulcan spoke monotonously and continuously while delivering his summary : “As a crewmember of the Ogawa, I expect my duty to assist the medical department in delicate moments, such as molecular research or chemical synthesis, and dealing with more classical issues and all types of anomalies.”

Lieutenant Savel

Kane stared at Savel for a long moment and then laughed… once… and very loudly. “HA!” and he slapped the desk hard. “Spoken like a true automaton. Why, if I didn’t know better, I’d say you were som kinda advanced synthetic that they hadn’t figured out how to program a personality into.” The CSO leaned back and put his feet back up on the desk, hands interlaced on his chest. “Your job is to figure s#!t out and make stuff that’ll help the medical teams. Do you know how you go about doing that? Or do you need some direction?” Kane asked sharply.

Kane, CSO
Savel frowned almost imperceptibly at Kane’s remark. How strange, thought the Vulcan. Humans normally insult people when they feel threatened, yet I haven’t done anything that would compromise his position or his life.
“Thank you for consideration, Sir”, said Savel. “However I must remind you that every Starfleet officer has been trained to act and to respond in any situation given.* Giving him a little smile, he added : “Perhaps you have missed some of the courses needed to be granted the status of officer, which would explain your lack of knowledge on the matter. I must vividly recommend you to take the said course again and to pass it.”

Lieutenant Savel

Kane grinned slightly, but it wasn’t playful. “Oh, I can pretty much guarantee I’ve had more training in that arena than you think. And academic prowess doesn’t really mean… well… anything here. I don’t care if you graduated first in your class or dead last. I care that you can do your job. So… dazzle me. Tell what your first experiment is gonna be. And how it will positively impact the care the patients get. Go.”

Kane, CSO / R&D
Savel nodded and said : “The next experiment I want to run is an upgrade of the dermal regenerator, not only to boost his normal capacities but also to let him heal a new region : the eyes.”
“It is a project I wanted to present to you in a few days, but since you asked, I will present it here and now. As you know, the dermal regenerator is, as his name indicates, limited to epidermal regeneration. However, when an injury happened to the eyes, the need for a heavy surgical operation is present 76% of the time. If the researches were to be successful, the dermal regenerator would be able to regenerate the eye retina, cornea, and lens easily. Which is why I think my research would help the medical department and the care to the patient.”

Lieutenant Savel

Kane was quiet a moment and then said “How will your device diffentiate between the sclera, iris, cornea, lens, conjunctiva, and aqueous humor? Not to mention the cilary muscle and body. All of those aren’t structurally similar, and they don’t provide the same function. That’s why the dermal regenerator works: its one thing. Now you’re talking about simultaneously regenerating not only multiple separate anatomical structures, but using a device meant to handle and focus only on one. And it also has to be less invasive, safer, and more efficient than an ocular implant.” and he leaned forward, curious.

“So how you gonna do it?”
