It would again be in the Morale block, but perhaps viewed as a less critical position than some others, which also suggest a bit less scrutiny than other positions.

Relevant skills would be Diagnosis and Physician (both bought with Optional specialty: Physiotherapy), Physiology, and Professional Skill (Masseuse). Thoughts on this plan?

For psi-powers, I'm looking at the advantages in your Traitor Maker package, although with a stronger emphasis on Mental Surgery (level 4 or 5).

A physical therapist or a physical fitness trainer could work. The Masseuse is a little odd, and I'm not sure if you'd get one aboard a navy ship, but it could probably be worked in.



You'll want not only the skills needed to work this job, but some area knowledge to be able to talk about where you were trained, what it was like, and so forth. We may also increase the frequency of appearance on your duty to reflect in increased exposure.
