For Dre, meeting the team was similar to every other time introductions had been made.  There was the surprise as the knowledge of an alien being a member.  Many of the mercy hadn't encountered an alien before and had only heard rumors about them.  Questions ranged from how old are you to what color blood do you have and many in between.  Of course, most were too nervous to ask about the shapeshifting abilities except for how quickly it occurred, how often it happened and what the sensation was like.  In the end, Dre gave a demonstration and changed into male form before their eyes, making a number stare aided eyed at how easily it happened.<br/><br/>Finally, after several minutes he was shown his space and Dre began unpacking. He didn't have much for clothes, only three sets he could wear on ship.  The rest of his items consisted of his operational gear; two sniper rifles, 1 Gaussian, 1 laser, one assault rifle, two slug pistols, one combat axe, one fibro sword, a combat dagger and finally, one suit of combat armor.  This last item, however, didn't seem to appear like any common variant anyone had ever seen.  Although it had the makings of a lighter version commonly used by scout teams, it had some features nobody could make out and Dre wasn't willing to answer every question asked.<br/><br/>Once settled, which happened relatively quickly, Dre found a place in the common area to sit.  Extracting his data pad he began time type quickly, writing notes in the names of the team members as well as useful information about the ship.  There were even notes about the Captain;<em>perhaps using a facade to impress personnel.  May actually prefer having someone else in charge.  Something to consider for future.  Team trusts her and are willing to follow her.  There is no reason to think otherwise in my part.  Seems capable and knowledgeable.</em>
