The M.R.S. Genesis

[Jetthebinturong]

I know that xeno means "race" more or less, what would a Xenosociologist do?

[Rusvul]

A xenosociologist would study the social and psychological structure of other races, should we come across any. You might even shorten it to 'Xenologist' or something of the like, and study any kind of alien life or culture in all its detail. (-Xeno as a prefix means 'alien,' or 'outside.')

[Jetthebinturong]

Sorry to argue but no it doesn't unless by alien you meant foreign in general rather than just foreign from space
    relating to a foreigner or foreigners.
    "xenophobia"
        other; different in origin.
        "xenograft"
But yes, that's what I thought and that is what I shall be, I'll make my app tomorrow, I have to leave now

[Rusvul]

I mean foreign in general, yes.

   You could be the Doctor, or the Ops officer (Monitors sensors, accepts hails, basically is the computers guy) I don't think we have a Tactical/Security officer either (not sure what we're calling it) but if you did that you'd be the guy to lead security teams (if someone boards the ship or something,) you'd probably lead away missions, and you'd be the one to monitor weapons and fix them when they break.


   Also, if we were to break away from standard Star Trek ranks and positions a little, you might be in charge of some other thing. Crew's mental health, routine maintenance, you could be a xenobiologist, xenosociologist, xenoarchaeologist, xeno- anything standard.... You might be in charge of fabricating parts to repair, or food to eat, or you could do any number of things that might make sense on a starship.

We do have a security officer:

[Delthion]

And therefore LT is the Tactical officer.

[Izeroth]

 Since we don't have a doctor...

Name: Joseph Riggurt

Accessories (Earrings, necklaces, masks, etc): An electronic med-tool that he uses for medical work; an eyepiece that allows him to see an x-ray view of other beasts

Other: N/A

[Delthion]

Maybe not a hare, usually the doctors are calm, rational things, they are the ones that clash most with the captains, with the exception of the government delegations.

[Rusvul]

I'm not sure I'd call Phlox the calmest of doctors...

[Delthion]

Phlox? Is that from ENT? That's the only series that I haven't seen at least part of...

[Rusvul]

You should watch it. It's different but it's actually pretty good.

[Delthion]

Meh, first I need to get through DS9.

[Izeroth]

 I was thinking Joseph would be the sort of "old long patrol captain" type of beast.

[Delthion]

Yes, good point. OK, but he will have to argue with the captain as to the welfare the captain's health.

[Søren]

Like the McCoy of old.
