He turned to the officer, and popped to attention, and threw a picture perfect salute. "Sergeant Murphy, recently dimensionally translocated here from my homeworld, and glad to find a civilized nation among these savages, sir."<br/><br/>He didn't smirk at the soldier, his self control was too good to allow for that pettiness, but there was a sense of relief about him that he hadn't had before, despite being at picture perfect attention. He waited for the officer to return the salute and then drop it before popping back to parade rest, and letting the officer 'control' the situation.
