"But does that mean you have not built close ties with Mr.
Knucklebiter. My experience that workmates often become friends because of
common interest and time spent together. It just evolves naturally
to friendship."
{That is so, I have no reference point to claim knowledge either way. I am concerned at his absence, many may misunderstand his sardonic remarks as insubordination, but his people are 'wiseackers' as described sometimes.} Celine smiled. Considering how the department had received it's new chief, it was ironic that Shevab was talking that way about his assistant. "I am sure that he is doing all right. His species is not the only one in Starfleet that is not quite diplomatic in its interpersonal skills." {My people also, we have a natural revulsion of organic things, so to speak. To us, organic intelligent life is as amazing as we were to yours. Some of our people and other inorganics severely dislike organics, there is even a secret trinary pulse/word they use that roughly translates to 'ugly bags of mostly water', much like the Ferengi word for humans meaning 'bank accounts without brains'.} "I do believe that you have proved my point, Commander," she responded with
a friendly smile. "All the member races of the Federation are unique and
it takes time to get used to those different from ourselves, but our differences
do not mean we cannot work and live together. We just have to get used to
each other's quirks."
{Our thinking processes, as all life forms, vastly differ. What is say, funny, to one people is not to others. Such as my interpretation of Fleet codes, such as when I severely had to call down the shipping officer, when Engineering materials we needed which was marked priority, and he held them till his shift next day, when he should have had them delivered by following shift as this is a three shift station. Regulations say they must be delivered as soon as possible.} "The question you should ask yourself is were the materials held or were
there things that had to be done before they could be transferred. Just
the way you have phrased the sentence shows that you are assuming that he was
purposefully negligent."
