The two doctors didn’t seem pleased with the observation that Mika had presented mere moments ago. Perhaps that should’ve been anticipated, especially as those who were masters of their field weren’t too keen on potentially being ‘corrected’ by someone on the outside. Mika would just as easily feel the same if a layman were sticking their nose in her labs. Regardless, it didn’t make her suggestion any less valid.
Doctors also get more touchy-feely with people. It’s usually much simpler with inanimate objects, as they can’t object, or be insulted, when you poke with such vigor. With people you have to be considerate with the outside world, less helpful.
“Looking forward to you joining us in the lab, Bowman. You can call me Qi. I had a peek at your file. It looks like you had no problem with the science courses at the academy. Is there a particular field that interests you most?”
From this brief welcoming, Mika believed that he was one who’d rather focus more on the scientific aspects, rather than strictly adhering to rank and title. While he was the Chief Science Officer, which probably afforded him some leeway, the scientific truth was all that should realistically matter. Which was what she tried her hardest to focus on.
“If you’d like, you can call me Mika. Or, if you really want, Bowman will do just fine. Only my middle has to be ‘earned’.”
She spoke quite friendly, and took a sip of her wine immediately afterwards. Even when some people saw her middle name of ‘Savanna’, some believed it was okay to also call her that. It wasn’t that she hated her middle name, it was just something she reserved for individuals that were close with her, and even then in a personal time. Whenever she was in public, or working, she wouldn’t even accept those close knits to call her anything but her first or last names. Couldn’t let other people think it was okay.
“I’ve always tended to be more well-rounded in my fields. The unknown was what’s always fascinated me, and it’s not quite as fun sitting in a lab, on Earth, getting the scraps from what’s already been discovered.”
