however his memories are painfully sour harris eventually transferred to the pacifica and took up the position of chief science officer where he served during one of the pacifica pacifica's most challenging missions during the mission he earned the respect of all of the pacifica pacifica's crew and earned him self the nick name of jg a name which would eventually wear off and one which would be used to tease him from time to time when the pacifica returned to the alpha quadrant harris was offered a position on a team that was stationed on ds9 that was doing a study of the bajoran wormhole he took up the position and transferred to ds9 via the uss enterprise ncc-1701-e he served with the team on ds9 for a few months before reapplying for the a position on the pacifica as he missed his comrades on the ship and it it's way of life he returned to the pacifica and happily took up the position as the ship ship's astrometrics officer during the pacifica pacifica's mission to rescue the sunken starship uss noble harris acquired a lost cat whom has he grown very affectionate towards the cat now lives with harris aboard the pacifica sleeping in the replicator shelf for most of the time harris named the cat shakaar after his deep respect for the bajoran people and their way of life harris later returned to his beloved position of chief science officer which he held for a number of months harris eventually left the pacifica again along with ensign owen banks as both scientists joined the research team heading for the new typhon colony to catalogue the ruins found on the surface by the pacifica service record 2369-2373 starfleet academy cadet training 2373-2377 science officer starfleet starfleet's planetary science team 2377-2378 chief science officer uss venerable 2378 chief science officer uss pacifica 2378 research team member deep space 9 2378-2380 astrometrics officer chief science officer uss pacifica 2380-present research team member typhon colony mission participation total 13 r&r at starbase 565 beyond the gate parrelles a noble rescue shadows of evil r&r at ds12 departure shattering diplomacy excursions operation typhon the zone deck the halls something old and something new
