Brennan listened to his commanding officer with both excitement and humility. He was right; he had focused a great amount on his martial aspects within the academy, and with good reason as well.
"Before I ask any question, perhaps it would be best to answer yours first. You inquired about my desire to work with tactical systems rather than security. In my mind, the best security comes from denying access to anyone who would seek to cause us harm in the first place. What is tactical but long-range security, sir?"
His face changed slightly as he continued answering the Lieutenant's questions.
"I simply wish to learn the ship's every weakness and strength so I can best assist in a trying situation. At the moment, it seems best to know the weapons systems as you suggest and to become intimately familiar. To perform the best of my abilities, I need to know its blind spots, best attack angles, and areas where the shield just doesn't act the same. All of this information will help me develop to my absolute best and one day to help in those situations where I may be needed the most. Every ship will have its quirks."
He shifted his stance to a more comfortable position as he was assigned to his station. He indeed was very eager to learn just what this ship could do, especially given the aforementioned upcoming mission.
Don't try to impress; simply think and speak logically, and you should get along just fine with him. There is no reason to worry. Obviously, he will think logically in a tactical situation. Perhaps he will see your point of view.
"The only other thing I need to say, sir, is thank you for the opportunity. My ma wouldn't allow me to perform otherwise." He felt the slight southern talking pattern escape his mouth at the last second in a form of informality. "If there is nothing else, I am ready to work."
He gestured over to the weapons control panel, almost asking permission for the conversation to be complete so he could master the interface.
