It was obvious Doc was unsure. Perhaps he got ahead of himself. With the way things were going with the government of Liberty, he saw Cryer as a way to possibly help work through that but it was way to soon for that. He didn't trust the house governments and wanted to tread lightly where their corporations were concerned so he back peddled a bit.
"Dr. Bucksworth, Dr. Felcher, perhaps I got ahead of myself. We do want to work with Cryer." He hesitated in thought. "Might I suggest we start a bit simpler. An ambassadorial exchange I think would be a better start, someone appointed who is medically qualified." He pointed back and forth between himself and Bucksworth. "Our people need to earn each others trust and these are trying times for Zoners so I just think smaller numbers of people would be more beneficial. Those ambassadors will get to see how the other operates, learn the others Standard Operating Procedures and get some hands on with their work. Neither of us has a lot of facilities so an ambassador to each I think may be a good start."
He sipped his water. "Also, a channel between our people as you proposed. Things are quiet for us right now but that can change rather quickly. Perhaps in the interim we can plan some joint projects to break the ice."
He paused again in thought. "Does this make sense?"
As he wanted to continue in thought, his com chimed. He looked at it real quick. A light smile cracked on his face as he looked over at Doctor Xi. For the moment, he said nothing. It was obvious that the timing of the com was off. She didn't want him to find out while they were in meeting. For the moment, he said nothing keeping his focus on the subject at hand. He made a brief text message to her. "Congratulations. We will talk about it later."
