I've put some thought into what my tng self insert's job on enterprise would be and having had no luck finding a role that explicitly exists in canon I'm having to make something up. my two current strongest ideas (though I haven't decided on a job title for either of them) are records officer or archivist... but I do tell a slight lie because records officer is a real thing that exists in star trek (TOS: Court Martial has Ben finney serving as the enterprises records officer). it's a command division position "responsible for compiling and managing information regarding a ship's mission and assignments". presumably this has a high security clearance and is a lot of responsibility. maybe if there was like junior records officer where you do fuck all.

my other idea which I'm kind of taken with is archivist (perhaps subordinate to a head archivist but perhaps not). this for real does not exist in star trek universe as far as I'm aware, and I'm not sure what division it would fall under¹. I feel like it's something that could logically exist though. duties would be along the lines of like, digitization of records (e.g. ensuring accurate computer transcription²/formatting of handwritten logs, etc), cataloging artifacts with all relevant and accurate information attached, that kind of thing. would probably work closely with linguistics/archeology/etc departments. has an approximate knowledge of many things. basically these are some of the guys that feed information into the computers and then double check and file it to make sure that when you ask the computer to tell you about vulcan ceramics it can not only show you the most ancient intact pottery but it can also show you just the ones made with a specific glaze and it can also recite to you the handwritten findings of a vulcan some reverently call "the surak of ceramics", even though all their talent lay in ceramics and none of it was left for calligraphy. because some poor son of a bitch is logging every pottery shard like #vulcan #ceramic #sherd #purple #theres a sehlat drawn on it. and that son of a bitch also gets to go through scans of ancient journals and excruciatingly determine if the author has written a ĺ or a İ (but the alien language equivalent of such a dilemma).

¹ in star trek insurrection there was a deleted scene with a librarian serving aboard the enterprise-E, and she was a science division lieutenant. and in the draft script for a tos episode there was a librarian serving aboard there as well, but with an unspecified division. I think that if i could justify the ship having a librarian I would totally give my s/i that role, but it just seems odd to have in such a digital age as the star trek universe, where physical books are usually personal items rather than the primary storage method of written information. but thats beside the point my point is that a librarian is not dissimilar to an archivist and there is evidence pointing to librarian being a science division role. and an archivist is not wholly dissimilar from an archeologist (science division as well) because they both seek to preserve information about the past. but im just not sure because like the question remains is a filing clerk a scientist

²I know star trek technology is super advanced we've got the universal translators and we've got the highly sophisticated computer but i just can't believe that even in the 24th century they would be able to scan the most difficult handwriting especially from languages that don't have a huge database yet and have the computer make sense of it faultlessly every single time.

dont mean this in any disrespectful way when you posted that i did go through your account and saw you had posted about gaza back in oct 13, i think in the current climate where so many zionist weaponize anti-semitism to silence people trying to stop the genocide i was also worried when you posted that and had seen no posts about palestine on your twt i did go down farther and saw that that was not the case and its just not easily apparent i do feel like you are aware of this though and it feels a little exploitative to post that knowing people would be sensitive to the language you used and your lack of public sentiment around palestine and unfollow you thinking you were a zionist i dont think your a zionist but your immediate outrage at people unfollowing you for that post is ignoring the context in which your posting in. please remember people are dying before our eyes everyday from people who use the language of anti-semitism to fuel that death i implore that you act with compassion towards people and not bad intentions

(for reference to others, this is about this post I then shared on my twitter as well.) Me commenting about people unfollowing me for sharing support for my community is not outrage, it's an observation on how I can't support fellow Jews without it being connected to Zionism. I said a very positive message to support others who have been dealing with things IN DIASPORA like I have and get messages like yours and this.

It is not exploitative for me to express love for MY COMMUNITY (NOT ISRAEL) after experiencing multiple actually antisemitic incidents IRL recently and saying the words I needed to hear for others. I need to hear that people care. My synagogue got bomb threats and I've been called a kike and harassed in real life multiple times. I didn't even post about most of the stuff I've dealt with to be sensitive to others and the online environment lately. Yet here I am being called exploitative and that I should be more sensitive to others for supporting my community. I have never once called anyone on here or anywhere else an antisemite or weaponized antisemitism so please don't project on me.

Also, I this is an unrendered version, the finished version will be posted within about a week's time (hopefully) since I don't have access to digital drawing at the moment YuY
