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. | 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.

Since coming aboard the USS Constitution, Ed has formed close bonds with many members of the crew. His first mission included grave peril and some of those colleagues' lives had been placed in immediate danger. Ed learned a lot about the potential risks involved in being a Starfleet officer and it caused him to reflect on his humoured approach to many aspects of life. In the end, he realized that there would always be hard times no matter where he served, and that a doctor's role is to heal in whatever capacity he's capable of. Sometimes that requires physical treatment, but sometimes it simply takes a quick joke or smile to help a patient feel more at ease. | |||

Fully immersed in his medical studies, Ed found himself forming firm friendships with the other medical students, but especially those who weren’t from Earth. His openness and enthusiasm towards different cultures ingratiated him to his non-human peers and propelled him toward a focus in xeno-physiology. In the end, Doctor Edward Spears finished the rigorous training at Starfleet Medical and took his oath. | Fully immersed in his medical studies, Ed found himself forming firm friendships with the other medical students, but especially those who weren’t from Earth.

Ed's first posting was to the USS Constitution-B, and he was immediately thrown into the fire. Only a few hours aboard ship and he found himself embroiled in a classified mission for Starfleet along with his new crewmates. It was on that mission that Ed learned the depths of evil that exist out in the galaxy, but also what lengths he was willing to go to in order to save the lives of the crew. There come times in most officers' lives that a true choice must be made between personal safety and the saving of a life, but most officers don't experience such a test until much later in their careers. Ed left the experience with a more complete sense of self, and found himself fully integrated into the Constitution family. | |||
