And that was just why most people actually did more than learn names on a crew manifest. He wasn't human. Nice one. What could he do next? Insult a Klingon's mother? Suggest the Ferengi ensign had a mom who wore pants? So much for pulling off the official officer vibe. Instead he had just made the Security Chief want to use him as a human shield if the ship was ever boarded. Great. Makari shook his head and laughed quietly to himself. The Lieutenant had made a quick retreat, so at least he hadn't decided to take a phaser to his skull then and there for assuming he was human and joking about arrests.<br/><br/>But then the best security officers would get you when you least expected it.... Way to be paranoid. He was safe. He just had to turn the friendly up a few notches while turning the ignorant down a couple more. "Doctor, nice to meet you... do you prefer doctor or rank? I never know when it comes to you poke and prod medical types," Yep. He was all about the suave friendly and nothing at all about the ignorant comments.<br/><br/>"I actually got here before most everyone else, Second Officer duties, and making sure everything was up and running for all the other departments, the life of an Operations guy is never done..." Makari replied with a smile. "What about yourself? Enjoying the ship so far? Find your office and medical to be satisfactory? We can't really change them, so I hope so..." He laughed lightly, hoping this conversation was not going the way of the last, and making sure to not comment on her race and do be o for two in introductions.
