Maze nodded. "Yes, sir. At his convenience, of course. I understand he's planetside at the moment, and I'd not want to interrupt his R&R."<br/><br/>He had looked up Commander Osiel before coming on board, of course. He wanted to know everything he could about the man that would be heading up his department. He was a little surprised to find that he was Risian, but on reflection, he felt a little ashamed at that. Obviously not everyone from that planet was only interested in leisure - that was just stereotyping. And he had certainly had enough of stereotyping of his own. There were more times than he cared to remember during his time at the academy when people had assumed he was joined and asked him all kinds of questions about his symbiont.<br/><br/>But the Risian Lieutenant Commander had a solid reputation, and Maze looked forward to working with him and getting to know him better. He was Chief Science Officer, after all, so he must know what he's doing.
