For one who took a keen interest in genetics and sociology, among so many other wonderful avenues of knowledge, the crew's composition offered ripe opportunities for study. Curiosity was the one vice permitted to his kind, enthusiasm for new knowledge was never a taboo. Almost as though by serendipity, though he had no belief in coincidences, he was presented with a fascinating opportunity to observe a confrontation amongst his subjects. He had no prejudices, but he did have a dislike of Klingon warrior attitudes, a species that held brutality as a form of honour had a long ways to go in order to attain a more enlightened civilisation. Much like Terrans.<br/><br/>"Consumption of psychoactive chemicals outside of personal quarters and designated recreational areas aboard a Starfleet vessel is a breach of conduct. Any officer found under the influence of such substances on duty or on call for duty is an insult to the honour of Starfleet." The Commander spoke softly, yet he made sure that he was heard. An insubordinate subordinate was not something with which he was unfamiliar, he had encountered enough Maquis in the years gone by to know that no single method of command was absolute. "I would suggest that you forgive the half-breed, Lieutenant Commander. Exaggerated behaviour is a common trait in Klingons who lack the appropriate cultural ties and are forced to mimic what they believe a Klingon to be, often poorly, as is the case." Prejudice, spite, bitterness, all things he was immune to, but he certainly understood how best to manipulate them in others. He had spent enough time in PsyOps to know best how to provoke a reaction. Failing that, broken bones usually got the point across.
