"Well for medical research I would like to use Dr. Brennan, and a
few researchers fo his choosing. Perhaps even Serana D'amondra. Dr.
Brennan is highly respected and has a knack for pulling a team together and
keeping the together. In fact I was hoping to have two research groups for
the medical side. There is more oppertunity for flexibility there, but that
is of course up to you. For tactical research into the Borg, I was thinking
about Markus Garibaldi. He does have a reasonable reputation amoung your
people, at least that what I am told. What are your initial thoughts on
those?"

"Thank you, very much Ambassador. I know that more must be done to
improve relations between our two peoples, and this is just a start. But
every journey is started with a few small steps, and those tend to be the
hardest to make."
