"This is not like building a ship, Admiral. It is research.
Sometimes we get answers to questions and we make break throughs. Other
times we are only left with more questions to ask. If you take that
combined with requests and demands from the various departments in Starfleet
and the Federation Council, it is a miracle that we can get anything done.
But to answer your question directly, we do not have any specific hot
priorities. All projects are given the same weight- make progress. While
several projects share resources- labs and researchers, we are making
progress steadily. Now, I am not saying that what progress we are making is
necessarily adequite for some, but we are working the best we can."
