Any questions I can answer?"</em><br/><br/>Shaking the second officers hand firmly then releasing it, Kavash took a moment to size up the man standing in front of him.  "Do not worry about it Commander, I'm quite sure the comings and goings of a new Lieutenant to the ship are not the highest priority right now."  He offered a hand pointed in the direction of the door suggesting that Makari might lead the way into the corridor.  "I am eager to meet them too, but in due time.  If you could tell me where my quarters are so I can make sure that Chief Drennen didn't forget something when he transported my effects over"  He smile slyly at the comment, the Chief was a good man if not a bit of a prankster.  "I would like to drop my bags off and report to the bridge so I can begin assessing the McNair's capabilities."  Following Makari into the corridor, presumably towards a turbo lift, Kavash marveled that the McNair still had that new smell to the corridors.  "Can you tell me how far we are from the Neutral Zone?"
