What job do you try to get?

I think I’d go for some kind of science officer. I’m watching a scene right now where one is melting stuff and then holding the fumes under glass for whatever reason. Seems up my alley

And ma’am you specifically requested that the dinosaur balls be of suitable diameter. Please define “suitable” in cubic centimeters.

I’d like to research alien animals. A xenobiologist or whatever it’s called.

If it’s a plant then that falls under botany for whatever reason.

Xenoarchaeology would be fun getting to study alien cultures that could even have been more advanced then the federation. Always a chance of getting vaporised though.

They just call it archaeology, Picard would be proud though.

Data: “Commander, perhaps we should consult the ship’s xenolinguist on this matter before there is a tragic misunderstanding.”

Riker: “Hell no, that guy is a nerd”

Riker didn’t give a shit about communication with the Tamarians cause they didn’t look fuckable.

Might not have taken the better part of the episode to just google the phrases though.

It’s a machine learning thing along with an archive of every known language in full working in tandem. there’s actually a DS9 episode where they meet a race from the Gamma quadrant early on and the translator takes a while to work fully

Having watched zero episodes of star trek I’m going to say cafeteria dishwasher.

The cafeteria and dishwasher were both replaced by machines a long time ago. You just pop your food into the replicator and it breaks it all down to base elements to use for other shit later

Yeah that’s still a thing. It falls under engineering weirdly enough.
