ON: //--Promotion of Specialist Smith: Assignment to Head of Botany-// The team had gathered in the General science lab, amongst them were the heads of each of the science department dressed in formal attire. Running in the advanced holo lab, situated in the center of the General science lab was a depiction of a platform with an old wooden podium and a black board behind it. There beside it were chairs to which the sub-department heads were situated. Amongst them was Commander Darye, who held a plaque and PADD loaded with formal acknowledgement he was about to give. In addition there was a black box on his lap. In a few moments he would begin his announcement to the science assembly. Walking over to the podium the clatter in the background stopped. Arcos cleared his throat, looking over to the Botanist who would be honored at the assembly. She was looking as if she had nerves of steel despite the obvious pressure to hold appearances during the ceremony. Arcos thought to himself that his decision to extend her the duties of charge of the botany depart was well deserved. He looked around to the rest of the room to which the department personnel seemed to be focused upon himself. Taking a deep breath he opened his mouth and started, "Excellence to which we refer to in duty and devotion to studies of science as the reason and logical deduction through which the attainment of theory and law is granted is attributed to every good science officer or personnel aboard this ship. In regard to each and every dedicated science personnel there are some who go beyond excellence to reach a level of strength of character, choosing to take up the courage and devotion to command -That is to which we are here to cite or signify in pertains to the service of one of our science personnel in the field of botany." He paused and looked over at the specialist to whom would be receiving the award. Specialist Smith… Front and center!" Commander Darye ordered. "Yes Sir!" The specialist grinned and stood up taking place in front of the podium. "You have been granted charge of the botany program, to which the duties include but do not summarize in entirety, care and devotion to plant and fungi specimens, command of volunteer and assigned personnel, and cultivation of edible foods from the specimens mention there above." Arcos paused taking a breath. "In addition, because of our policy of such assignment, rank grade of petty officer third class is granted." The specialist stood at attention looking directly at the podium, grinning and a bit over come with satisfaction. Arcos handed her the plaque and the box with the new pip for petty officer. The Commander looked over to his team whom had stood up. "Science department, Applause is permissible." The team began to clap. "Petty officer Smith… you may return to ranks." "In addition there is one more thing I must address. The team will be admitting volunteers from other departments to fill the need for duties to which our compliment can not grant in entirety. You are to treat them in both command and service with character deserving of department personnel. That is all. Science ranks, you are dismissed.

Biology Officer in-charge: M. Blande |OFFICE HOURS: 1st shift CURRENT STUDY SUMMARY: Lab 1: Local Life Forms – threats, cautions and general study Lab 2: Edible plants identification (works with botany) Lab 3: Continuance of: "Extract of Gouranni Herb for toxic identification" Progress Update: Biology lab assignment #3 is completed for the most part. Additional labs for further sample extraction are being completed this week. Team will continue to research other edible plants of the nearby star systems and look for biological life forms that could pose a threat to away teams. The team will launch several planetary probes to accomplish this task, selecting the most likely planets for the ships destination and then account for research friendly. B) Chemistry: Chemistry studies the physical nature of life, the study of chemicals and elements how they react and work together with each other. Chemistry often works with biology and physics to come to a closer understanding of what we explore on the ship. Chemistry Officer in-Charge: T. Yin |OFFICE HOURS: 2nd Shift CURRENT STUDY SUMMARY: Lab 1: Toxins and Chemical benefactors of Local Area Lab 2: local medicinal secrets (joined with medical) Lab 3: Continuance of: "Extract of Ka'al root" Status update: The Extract from the Klingon root has nearly been completed. All that remains is to continue to mix the root with the Gouranni Herb for toxin neutralization. Once completed the Ka'al roots will be continued to extracted and placed on reserve for the ships chef should the need arise to visit the selected Gourrani planetoid where the conference is being held. C) Geo-sciences: The Geo Sciences department works with anthropology, Stellar Cartography, biology and other fields of science to grab a basis of the physical relationship of ecosystems, glaciations, gravitational pulls, tectonics, and seismic behavior of planets, moons, asteroids, and planetoids. Geo-Sciences Officer in-Charge: I. Castillo |OFFICE HOURS: 1st Shift CURRENT STUDY SUMMARY: Lab 1: Study of Ecosystems and Geological stability (localized area) Lab 2: Development of celestial objects (localized area) Status Update: Team will work with biology to gather planetary data through the launch of six recoverable probes to be designed by cybernetics. Team hopes to gather from a flyby… the ecosystems and geological stability of the six chosen planets. D) Physics: Physics assists in astrophysics, quantum physics, bio-physics, standard physics. The Physics team answers question in gravitational effects, trajectory, and other physics challenges. Often Physics will work with geology or stellar cartography. Physics Officer in-Charge: S. Ronsett|OFFICE HOURS: 2nd Shift SUMMATION OF CURRENT RESEARCH: Lab 1: Trajectory/masses/make up of celestial objects in sensor range Lab 2: Tri-Probe method Status Update: Tri-probe data is still being collected in a nebulous region of ionized gases. The nebula contains several asteroids. Although the largest of these is planetary like, it has no atmosphere and is not in rotation around any central star. The team will continue to collect data until probe no longer has uncharted area to cover. Although most of the probe will self destruct or act as a hazard beacon… the logic unit of the probe will be ejected and rendezvoused with at a later date. E) Stellar Cartography: Stellar Cartography works with Astro-metrics to provide maps of the galaxy and studies the stars themselves mapping inner corona and outer solar system alike. Stellar Cartography Officer in-Charge: Y. Beindocoff/B.
