Liam couldn't help being cocky from time to time. Even today, he still remembers his youthful, boastful days back in academy, and Matthew was to blame for bringing them back up. They were good times, and now he was reunited with him, he couldn't wait to begin their mission of exploration. With him in charge of Security, not only will his foes be afraid, but his team aswell. Fear earns obediance, obediance means no trouble due to fear, so all worked out...though that was more of the Klingon approach than him. He wasn't as mean as he looked mind you, but was actually in fact a pretty well-rounded guy, who you could have a laugh with. He simply couldn't help himself but chuckle when Gelbia turned, and said, "No, I do not mind such a moniker", in which he then responded, "Then Gelbi it is!". It seemed Gelbi would be alright afterall, Liam thought to himself, seeing as he could take humour, though he wondered what nickname he could give the Commander, he already had a short name, so it was a little harder....maybe do the opposite and come with a longer name. S'Krellian. The thought made him smile.
Gelbi then responded to how he felt to the assignment, how he was honored to be aboard the Yeager and be able to prove himself and his race. From Earth's past, the Vulcans did not see the Humans as capable until they...stuck their neck out and shown what mettle they were made of. This was exactly what the Adellian was doing now, and they sure had quite the neck compared to them, so simply by that illustration, it shown that they could easily stick their neck out and accomplish great things, and soon, Gelbi would be able to demonstrate his abilities, as they awaited Captain Connor and Commander S'Krel to enter before they took off. [b]"So where did you learn how to fly then Gelbi?", he then asked, wondering how they were able to develop their piloting skills, seeing as the only way they could, was if you were a test pilot, or learnt off a pilot while living aboard a starship, holodeck programs, and the most notable way was in academy, for both shuttles and fighters. He himself wished he could do the Vulcan pinch, but what he did have, was the Liam O'Reilly fistacuffs. Now who could complain about them.
Outside, Matthew listened as S'Krel commented on the Yeager, of how it would function well, before ushering him to the shuttle, and the unwillingness to delay their arrival any furthur. "There is a difference between being tardy and admiring a view, but if you insist", he commented, as he followed him into the shuttle, "It is just a shame that those outside get to see the ship yet we can't once we board", before turning to Gelbia, "Lieutenant, when you take us up to the Yeager, I'd like you to fly around it at all angles so we can see what she's got", while at the same, it would give Gelbia more of a chance to demonstrate his skills, and maybe some show-off moves like the young pilots that just finish Academy. "I hope my seat at the helm of the illustrious Yeager is far better suited for my form. I guess they didn't have Adellians in mind when they designed this shuttle seat", Gelbia remarked, as Matthew smiled, "Perhaps Starfleet Corps of Engineering can work on something, but they'd only commit to such a project if it is worthwhile. You don't need me to tell you what burden you have on your shoulders, but what I am sure of, is that the helm on the Yeager would be alot more roomy", he answered, before taking his seat. "Alright then Lieutenant, take us out".
