Now also home to several pieces of art from different sources. Some are originals, inspired by a musical pottery workshop run by Lieutenant [[Lazarus Davis]], while others have been procured from the various merchants on Starbase 104. Many are originals from Martian painters and heavily feature landscapes of the homeworld.

Edward Spears is a complicated man for a Martian. He takes his role as a healer extremely seriously, with a commitment to cultural understanding coming right after. He also possesses a talent for self-deprecating humour; his main defence mechanism when placed in unfamiliar or uncomfortable territory. Ed is a personable type who gets along well with almost everyone. His openness to learning about and sharing in other cultures ingratiates him with his non-human colleagues who are often eager to share parts of their own worlds and experiences with him. He's optimistic about the future in a way unique to Martians; something developed before Mars was terraformed. Almost a distinct cultural trait on its own many Martians, including Ed, can't help but see the future as filled with the promise and possibility of something better, even as they laugh about the unfortunate circumstances that always seem to push that future a few days further along. Ed is passionate about learning and discovery, like any good scientist. He works to further his understanding both inside his field, and also across other disciplines. He is known to socialize with people from every department while off duty so that he might learn something new, whether it's about a culture, ship's system, emerging research, music, or art.  
Edward Spears can no longer identify solely as a Martian. He takes his role as a healer extremely seriously, with a commitment to cultural understanding coming right after.

Because of this openness and eagerness to absorb the galaxy around him, Ed is unfortunately susceptible to being emotionally hurt by dishonesty, deception, or unkindness. He hates to see others in pain or suffering, and he cannot stand to see it inflicted on others. He fiercely believes that military action should only be taken as a last resort, and only in self-defence. The Federation's trend toward heavier armament and purpose-built warships is one that doesn't sit well with him at all, despite the recent events that led to those decisions being taken at the highest levels. He also has regular arguments about security orders that force him to carry a sidearm on away missions.
