Captain Brooks had responded with a simple and to the point, "Thank you Ensign, you can help with our Science department for now, I'm sure Commander Talion will have no objections."
Ris gave a brief, professional nod, and moved to the station Lieutenant Young had indicated a few moments ago. Moving with a purpose and focus, he settled in at the station, deftly configuring the LCARS layout how he preferred, even taking a moment to save the configuration in the database for easy reference later. As he was going through that process he turned his head slightly in the direction of Lieutenant Young.
"I appreciate your warm welcome, Lieutenant. I don't know that I would classify the journey here as 'pleasant', but, it was necessary. I'm just glad Captain Braggins entrusted me with it, although it's not like she had a lot of young, superfluous officers fresh out of the Academy to choose from." He tried his best to not sound bitter about it. Logically, it completely made sense. A slow inhale helped him re-center his emotional state, even as he murmured a Vulcan meditation mantra under his breath.
"If there's any information that can be of assistance to you or the crew, I'm happy to share it. There's no point in being miserly with information."
His attention was drawn away mere seconds later when the hail from the USS Inaieu came through. Very few Andorians that served in Starfleet didn't know of Rear Admiral zh'Ollan. To call discussions about his style of command "lively" would be a gross understatement. The odds of the participants in said discussion requiring some degree of medical attention afterwards was always non-zero.
As soon as the order was given to follow the Admiral's ship in, Ris reconfigured his console for a more tactical scientific function. Whether that would be scanning of weak points, keeping an eye out for anomalies that could be helpful or harmful - there were many possibilities. Though he had seen the monster of a vessel before, this was the first time Ris witnessed it unleash its torrent of firepower.
This was like facing a huge gap in the glaciers back home on Andoria, and knowing you couldn't go back, yet forward was also certainly death. His antennae stood nearly vertical in alarm as he watched the Admiral's ship get reduced to its component atoms.
You arrogant fool...
