"The most important traits for a science officer is to quickly relay important information about the situation to whoever is in charge. Whether using the ships sensors or your own tricorder, the more information you can provide the better. Then you need to be able to work with a crew to help put plans of action into action. When you or another crewmember comes up with an idea, it is your job to handle the science behind it and help make it work out." -- Lieutenant Aquarius Trell, USS Lothlorien
