Daniel listened intently to Shor'Gen's explanation, nodding all the while. The Yug'Lonian were pretty interesting, he made a metal note to himself to try some new project ideas, could perhaps prototype new sensors by imitating the tendrils. Still in the middle of their conversation a Korrvain came bounding in, yet another race for Daniel to get used to. To be honest he hasn't heard too much about Korrvains other then they remind him of dwarfs from earthing fiction, on the subject he figured that calling Gurros a dwarf would be pretty insensitive so may be best to keep that thought to himself. 

Daniel's first impression of Gurros is he's very friendly, something that is more then welcomed on a the long voyage they were about to go on, still perhaps Gurros had very little awareness about personal boundaries mainly about how he talked to Shor'Gen and even proceeded to poke his carapace. Could be a cultural thing, whatever the case is Daniel was sure he liked Gurros already.

"Sure I'm Engineering Officer Daniel Althor, and as you know Shor'Gen here is our lead physician." Daniel replied with a smile "Although running up to a stranger then poking them might not be the best way to make introductions even if we all are crewmates."
