Keir listened intently to both the Doctor; whose opinion was well presented and framed from a purely and appropriately 'Medical" perspective as well as the Commander whose focus was on maintaining the Ambassador's symbiont in such a way to enable the successful completion of the peace talks.
Nothing about this was covered in any Star Fleet protocol that Keir had read, but there was no doubt that as s/he understood the Commander's inferences.
Drawing a breath Keir turned to the others. "It would appear that we do what we can to keep him entertained and distracted for the time being. Clearly as a young man he has had certain physiological differences from a centuries old host and he is trying to explore that; but we do need to keep the focus on saving lives which his mission has the potential to do.
The mission is, in the greater scope of things a relatively a short term one, so if we are able to clearly show him the possible consequences of a failure, then maybe we can give him an incentive to focus on that life saving purpose and then get back to his life. "
The young Hermat shrugged "I do appreciate his actions in a way. I am only about two decades old; and have had to learn how to focus on more than just what is going on around me: and step back to see the bigger picture. A war between these cultures is a very big picture."
S/he turned to face the CO. "I am aware that was not exactly what you wanted from me, but physiologically I do understand his behavior."
