"And that's just talking about the races that everyone on this ship knows about," MacReady replied to Airik's referral to both the Romulans and the Ferengi.  The Ferengi.  He hadn't interacted with them too much, but the rumor that they'd sell their own grandmothers for two bars of gold-pressed latinum seemed to have credence.  "There are probably other minor races out there, who haven't joined the Federation, that would<em>love</em>to get their hands on the McNair."<br/><br/>The First Officer nodded at the Captain's suggestion.  "Of course, I'll see if I can discuss it with them at the next available opportunity."  He smiled, a little.  "Having a Klingon teaching self-defense...we're going to have science officers more capable of repelling boarders than some ships' security."<br/><br/>"Agreed," MacReady sounded to adding Medical to that list.  "I'll talk to Lieutenant Tir at the next chance."  He paused for a moment, as if considering.  "Captain, a thought.  When it comes down to training, perhaps we should go over the crew manifests to see who performed well in their personal defense classes at the Academy, as well as any possible prodigies in Engineering, Science, or Medical.  It'll give us an idea of who to train first."
