Mission: Short Treks
Location: Science Labs

Cyrus walked along the corridors of the great ship he was on, getting the lay of the land as it were. There was so much to see. He was though rather curious as to what the science area looked like. He stepped inside looking and started to peer into the various labs there were. Who would he meet or would there be someone there.

There was a massive argument happening in the largest Lab in the area. Several Scientists where shouting at each other, and they had onlookers. Some looked as they where awaiting their turn to start shouting.

Snow nearly appeared at the man's elbow as he watched to screaming match. "They really are passionate today." She stated as she was watching also. Her white hair was back in a proper bun, and she wore the blue lab coat jacket, and a long ankle length black skirt. Then she turned her turquoise eyes upon the man.

"What are they arguing about?" jumping slightly not expecting the attractive woman to appear near him. "Hello, I'm Lieutenant Marner." giving a warm smile once his surprise was gone.

"I have no idea." She said. "It allows then to burn out the built up aggression." She added. "You would be surprised how much work they get done after a hearty screaming match." She stated. "I'm Lieutenant Commander Snow. So what bring our Chief Medical Officer down here?" She asked as the shouting matched ended, and then within moments another heated argument started. The two that where shouting left the room, and they where civil to each other and talking about something in bio-engineering.

"Just wanted to get familiar with the ship and also had the strong desire to see the Science section. I used to work alongside the science department where I last served.to come up with a cure for a race. They had a disease that nothing seemed to work. Never came up with a name for the disease but, i what we came up with worked." Cyrus shrugging, he gave another look towards the once battling scientists then turned his attention back to Snow. "Anyway, are you in good health?"

"In perfect health." Snow stated with a cocked eyebrow. "I do have several specialist that work well with Medical." She added. "Trust me it does work." She said as the two scientist looked more relaxed.

"I have to ask about your health, you know, the cursory details of a doctor. Especially since I'm actually newly transferred. Well sort of, anyway I'm just looking to get to know the crew besides just checking on their health." giving a warm smile.

"I'm most likely the healthiest person upon this ship." Snow said. "But feel free to ask your questions."

"Well, honestly I think that if I want some questions answered it would probably be better in a more, private place. Like in the medical office. Just for official notations. Here I will just ask how are you feeling as just a part of a conversation. " Marner giving a smile.

"We can go to your office to speak about my medical record." Snow said with a hint of her icy tone.

Marner raised an eyebrow at hearing some coldness in her tone. "Now just a moment, Dr. Snow. Don't be getting your back up. I was not saying we have to go to medical right away." his voice had a tone of warmth in it. "I was just remarking that if we were going to be talking about more personal medical records it would be done in the office. Right now I would rather just get to know you, as in, what you like to do when you are not at work."

Snow simply nodded and sighed. "I like reading, cooking, and playing my musical instruments." She said with her rich British accent. "I'm sure you will enjoy my scones when there is a Senior Staff meeting." She said.

"Sounds delightful, to be honest. And what sort of books do you like to read?" I love to read, and also love to go fishing." Cyrus responded. "Did a lot of fishing back home." his southern drawl becoming more prevalent as he thought of back home.

"Anything dealing with science, medical, and cooking." Snow said. "I haven't gone fishing before." She said.

"Well I can put in a program that I have, which shows my favorite areas I fish at." Cyrus offered. "Some may consider fishing to be boring, some consider it relaxing some even consider it exciting if they go after the big fish. I just like the simpler ways of fishing, sometimes in a boat in the middle of a lake, hearing the sounds of nature around, whilst waiting for a fish to bite the lure."

"Sorry to say that doesn't really catch my interest." Snow said.

Cyrus gave a quiet nod, "Like I said, not everyone's sort of thing." giving a bit of a shrug. "I also like looking for different cures for diseases and creating inoculations for specific races. Not all races here in the galaxy can be covered with a general vaccination. This is due to their biophysical make up. Medical and Science is your forte I see, as well as cooking. Not bad at all. How are you in herbology?" he asked.

"I do hold doctrines in Biology, Xeno-Biology, Botany, Xeno-Botany, Toxicology, and Infectious Diseases." Snow stated. "I also have a PhD in Genetics. So I can lend a hand when needed." She said.

"I am grateful to hear that and thank you." Cyrus responded. "I think I have taken up enough of your time, I will see you later on though if you'd like." giving a pleasant smile.

"Until then." Snow said.

Giving a wave, Cyrus turned and headed out of Science. It was time to get back to medical.
