[@Blue Demon], I had an idea in case Catherine is ruled out as CMO. Since we'll be having a Klingon ambassador on board, the Federation is keen on not angering their guest. To send a clear signal of good will, tolerance, and stern condemnation of any illegal actions, they have a panel of Judge Advocates on board to conduct a Court Martial. My character either heads them or is under the head Judge Advocate's command. Does it sound interesting and plausible?
