I took a day off.
I needed to think through a problem with the script (there are many) so instead of writing I hit the manuals.
I unearthed a gem. It didn't help me solve the problem but it is a great warning about trying to say too much.
The multi-talented Albert Brooks did a series of skits in the seventies for Saturday Night Live.
One of these was a trailer for a movie-of-the-week called Black Vet.
It showed a black actor messing around with animals in the clinic - but, he also had past in the army:
Black Vet: He's a veteran and a veterinarian!
There goes one of my characters.
