Well. We're going for something of a carrot-and-stick approach: penalties for those who sneak off without training and supplies. Of course, we won't be able to catch everyone, so it's more a threat than an inevitability, but...

People have an itch to go out and explore. All the warnings in the world won't stop them; that's becoming clear. But only the truly stupid among them are going to decide that even though they could potentially end up in detainment for it, and even though their probability of survival drops exponentially without supplies and someone to watch their back, they're going to go out alone regardless.

I can't send a medical officer out with each party. The most I can do is train the people who do want to go in basic field medicine.

[jurisimpudent]

Indeed. That's...what I'm asking.

[doc_pompous]

Just...making sure. Who's going to announce this to the ship at large?

[jurisimpudent]

I will, with Tyke. Possibly Kirk as well. Might I count on you to be on hand to answer questions about training?

Again, do forgive me; I know your burden of work is heavy, and I don't want to tie you up with something as petty as public affairs. But at the same time, I know no one on the medical team steadier or more level-headed than you are.

[doc_pompous]

Uh, yes. Yes, I can answer questions if you need me to.

It's not a problem.

[jurisimpudent]

You have my thanks, sir, and I am in your debt.
