In crisis situations, the science officer can be critical in ensuring that the crew reacts appropriately to natural and man-made threats. Generally, science officers observe projects, planetary surveys, interstellar medium, cultures, and other life forms. They also report this information back to StarFleet and other members of the scientific communities. At least one science officer is always required on away missions.

To keep things in line and the ship Officers and Crew on the same page, the science officer can present IC data or pertinent information to steer the plot in the direction desired by the GM.
