Recognising the Captain immediately from his profile picture, Alexi nodded in companionable acknowledgment of the welcome.  While phrased as a request, Alexi recognised a dismissal and also knew that meeting with the Captain would be something that he would have to do as a priority.  Casting a brief glance at Renn, Alexi chose to respond succinctly.<br/><br/>=/\= "Thank you Captain.  Ahh, that would be Chief Dyar but ah, yes, I think we're both settling in well.  I'll make my way to the bridge presently, Sir." =/\=<br/><br/>As soon as the connection dropped, Alexi quickly assessed the man, impressed at how professionally the man had corrected his gross error as well as explaining and teaching him something in the process.   Despite being impressed, he could feel the nervousness increase in the other man and knew that a forthright and personal approach was needed.  Standing up, he walked around the desk to approach the other man, holding his hand out.  Looking the other man directly in the eye, he let an honest yet casual smile appear with a slight hint of apology obvious.<br/><br/>"Hello and welcome Chief Dyar.  My name is Alexi, Alexi Rei.  I've heard that you have had some significant success in boosting morale and I really admire your positivity.  I suspect we'll work together very well.  I do apologise however for my error in introducing you - I should have known that fact already."<br/><br/>Pausing slightly, he ran his hand through his hair, fingers brushing through the white spot on the side of his head.  Looking across at the blank viewscreen, he looked back at the man in front of him.<br/><br/>"Now, I think I've been called to make a personal appearance so we may have to cut this first meeting short even though we only got a bare second to talk.  Perhaps after I have talked to the Captain, I could meet you in your lounge and we could look at what we have to work with together?"<br/><br/>
