Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Bashir's parents were constantly changing jobs, so it is unlikely they would have been able to accrue enough finances to afford the expense of such intensive therapy. The therapy took place on Adigeon Prime, a planet outside the Federation, and therefore the technicians performing the operation would have required monetary compensation, not the credits that are only good within the Federation. It has been established that the ad-hoc currency between space-faring economies is gold-pressed latinum, something the average Federation citizen doesn't usually have or need, and it is unlikely the Bashirs would have access to, at least in large amounts. However, an organization as powerful and most likely as well-funded as Section 31 would be able to afford such an operation. It had also been stated by Sloan in "Inquisition" that they had been observing Bashir for a long while. Section 31 approached the Bashirs with the offer of the operations, with the agreement that they would raise their son in such a way to be amenable to joining Section 31 when they felt he was ready. Throughout the series, Bashir mentions that his parents strongly disapproved of his considering a career in tennis and their encouragement in his decision to join Starfleet (most of their recruits are from Starfleet). His interest in spy literature may have been introduced by his parents, wanting him to have a certain romanticism towards the profession. His assignment to Deep Space Nine, a post that would seem too important for someone fresh out of school, could have been made possible by Section 31, wanting to test his skills in setting where espionage and political intrigue would flourish, especially with someone like Garak on board (and remember, they didn't know about the wormhole, and so thought this was a 'starter' position). Richard and Amsha didn't accidentally reveal his enhancements to his collegues and Zimmerman, but were ordered by Section 31 so that Bashir would be isolated and would have no one to turn to but S31. However, Richard finally came through for his kid and made that prison deal so Julian could live his life on his own terms, at least until Sloan came for him. |
