Adam's worries of the quality of medical attention would not become reality, at least as far as Adrian were concerned.  An equipment upgrade would be nice, but he was confident enough in his skills that he could save the lives of crew members should any of them be put in a life threatening condition.  Adrian nodded at the mention of an upgrade.  It was true for every section of the ship, but they were doing the best with what they currently had; there was not much more that could be asked other than that.<br/><br/>The doctor did not mind at all being on a first name basis by any member of the crew.  In fact, the title of doctor was reserved only for collegiate presentations and those that pissed him off.  He listened intently to Adam's explanation of his current research.  While it wasn't within his area of study, he enjoyed the spirit of the discussion and offered clever questions or intriguing remarks when he found something to be either confusing or especially interesting about his work.  Adam seemed dedicated to his work much as Adrian was.  Their intellectual chats were quite stimulating to him, and he found himself actually thanking his contact that got him on this vessel.<br/><br/>"That would be quite an achievement and generally more efficient overall.  My samples have not progressed to that stage yet, however.  I hope that by analyzing each of the crew's DNA structures, I can establish a baseline for comparison which will aid in both medical and experimental means.  It would not be hard to develop a chemical compound which would increase energy and sharpness.  Think of it as a supplement, but tailored to the specific needs of the DNA's owner."
