Davies

technically proficient practical technically competent deferential under command pragmatic time-conscious deferential to command methodical

Davies functions as the Enterprise's hands-on geo-chemistry specialist, repeatedly handling scans, PADD readouts, and lab diagnostics related to planetary surveys. He favors practical, time-efficient judgments—routinely downplaying faint readings as false positives and arguing against multi‑hour Ico‑spectrograms—yet he follows command and carries out orders when authority is asserted. Davies provides technical explanations about Illium‑629 and crystal breakdowns, defers credit to junior officers when appropriate, and participates in engineering exchanges that pivot the mission from survey to crisis response.

Wesley's Leadership Lesson

Absent; his inferred seniority contributes to the interpersonal dilemma Wesley faces rather than being an active emotional participant.

Davies is mentioned as Wesley's preferred pick for geo-chemistry; although absent, his naming signals Wesley's effort to pair talent to task and also the hesitation Wesley feels about asking older …

Wesley's First Command, Quietly Undermined

Mildly amused and condescending, genuinely protective; he treats Wesley like a novice to be watched over rather than a peer to be trusted immediately.

Seated at a bench examining a rock sample and using a diagnostic 'black box,' he greets Wesley, responds with wry, paternal remarks about team composition, and offers to 'take over' …

Wesley's Quiet Rebellion — The Failed Ico Request

Calmly impatient and mildly condescending—he is certain the readings are false positives and impatient with what he perceives as needless caution.

Davies approaches with a PADD, delivers the scan results in an offhand, friendly manner, minimizes the faint tanker readings as likely echoes, quantifies the time cost, and uses pragmatic authority …

Wesley's Authority Undermined

Casually confident and mildly condescending; believes he's protecting mission time and imparting a reality check more than engaging in malice.

Davies brings the scan PADD to Wesley, frames the results as routine, downplays the faint tanker readings as likely false positives, argues against committing five hours to an Ico‑scan, and …

Ten-Forward Lesson: Wesley Chooses to Command

Implied defensiveness or professional stubbornness; confident in his own assessment of the survey results.

Not physically present in the scene but directly referenced by Wesley as the subordinate who refused to run an Ico‑spectrogram, making him the immediate subject of Wesley's forthcoming order.

Wesley Asserts Command: Orders the Ico‑Spectrogram

Relaxed and professional on the surface; obliging and ready to implement orders without resistance or commentary.

Davies is at a console studying test results when Wesley enters; he greets Wesley casually, acknowledges Wesley's order with a light 'You got it,' and immediately moves away to carry …

Lattice Revelation and the Prime Directive Compromise

Concerned and focused — prioritizing immediate understanding of hazards and the steps required to mitigate them.

Davies frames Wesley's contribution, explains the presence of Illium-629 as a forensic clue, and defers credit to Wesley while focusing on practical implications for remediation and hazard control.

Authorizing the Breach

Practical and focused: he trusts the data, credits the right people, and readies to convert diagnosis into hands-on remediation.

Davies frames Wesley's initiative (the Ico-gram) to the group, defers to his junior officer, summarizes forensic evidence (Illium-629), and prepares to undertake the practical lab and field work the team …
