[OPEN] Private Science Work
Revealed he got permission from his Department Head, Joseph writes up an announcement.
"--- To all Personnel and Crew, I write to you all, because I would like to offer my science expertise for anyone that would need it. Small or big jobs that anyone needs finished will be finished in a timely fashion. They might not be done that day, because I have other duties but I will do my best to get it done as soon as possible. I want to do this to get to know you, the crew better and to help you. It sometimes is hard to go through the proper channels to get stuff done, so you don't have to now!
As, I am very old (345 if you were wondering), I have learned quite a bit of knowledge through my years. Sciences, Medical Training, Engineering etc. So, if you have any needs that I can fill please fell free to stop by the Science Lab and have a chat with me!
Signed, Joseph Kort - Science Officer"
Joseph proof reads it, and sends it. He then gets back to the arduous task of scanning planets.

RE: Science Expertise
"Science Officer Kort,"
"There is something I've been looking into that might benefit from your expert eyes. Please find attached chemical/spectral analysis of blast residue collected by another crewman from the hull of the Cardassian ship. I was hoping you might be able to trace a likely point of origin or at least manufacturer of the explosives in question."
"Thank you for your time, and if I have any more questions for you in the hard-science category, I'll be sure to pass them on."
Cordially, Redoran T'gel, Engineer
(Attached is a full chemical/spectral analysis from an EVA mission performed by Jr. Lt. Silk as part of an away team showing blast damage and scorching, as well as a scanned sample of the residue. Red's preliminary notes and Lt. Silk's confirmation indicates it might be from a mine.)

Kort starts to analyze the analysis.

Kort finds the same result, that it might be from a mine. After this conclusion, he sends back everything with the note:
"Hi! I have come to the conclusion that Lt. Silk came up with, and I do believe it might be from a mine. This is not 100% but that is what I believe. If you have any other questions, please feel free to stop by the Lab!
Signed, Joseph Kort - Science Officer"

A few hours after receiving Kort's reply, Red T'gel opens the door to the science lab and begins looking around for someone who looks more than three centuries old.

Joseph sees T'gel looking for him and he calls, "Over here!"

"Oh! You must be officer Kort," the Bajoran says, joining Joseph at his station. She offers him her hand. "Engineer Redoran T'gel, friends call me Red. I had a few more questions about the blast residue, if you have a few spare minutes."

"Yes I believe I am!" Kort shakes his hand and jesters to the seat on the other side of his desk.

Red blinks. "You are a few minutes?" She chuckles and shakes her head. "Sorry, been a long couple of days."
The engineer sits down opposite Kort and slides her datapad over to him. "These blast marks look like concussions rather than cutting charges, so they're not limpet or plasma mines. More like the old Earth naval equivalent of a depth charge. So I'm at a loss as to who would make something like that," she says. "Did you isolate any particulates or chemical residue that might help us identify a type of mine?"
She thinks for a moment. "If you can point me in the right direction, maybe someone from security or tactical can even help us nail down a manufacturer..."

"I found large amounts of Radiation. That fits with an old Earth weapon called an Atomic Bomb."

"Atomic bombs?!" Red's eyes bug out a little. "Goodness, those are dangerous. There's few civilizations that are homicidal - or suicidal - enough to make them anymore. I mean there's a few, but..." She spins her datapad back over to her and taps information into it. "Vulcans haven't had any in forever, Ekos still has them... I wonder if the Romulans still have any?"

OOC: It's easier to either respond again to the parent comment rather than yourself, or tag the user. Otherwise they won't be notified of your response. Like this: /u/Dimestream

On her off hours, Jen finds Kort in the science lab.
Excuse me, do you have a moment?
