Enter the Euleri

Euleri... Euler... Get it? Like the mathematician, Leonhard Euler...

Since rank is mostly earned through time spent in service, Astrofleet has bestowed the rank of Captain on officers that show great leadership expertise in order to maintain a formal chain of command in situations where multiple high ranking science officers battle for dominance.

That being said, a captain of the tactical division will almost always maintain overall command due to his or her combat training.

Captain Delvok, the captain of science approached the science team.

"It appears as though everyone is here. We shall board the shuttle to the Massachusetts and delay it no further." He said in a monotone, emotionless voice.

The Euleri were usually insanely beautiful compared to humans due to their elf-like appearance. Their facial features were somewhat longer and sharper and their long pointed ear made them stick out like a soar thumb. They'd also put your average basketball team to shame since the tallest humans were only just above the average height of a Euleri.

The shuttle was all set and ready for takeoff and Captain Delvok hasn't spoken a word since ordering us on board earlier. In your experience with Euleri, this was the norm. They didn't care for idle conversation. The only confusing part was that everyone, but him had a duffel bag for their spare clothes. His only luggage - if you could call it that - was a datapad that occupied his attention for almost all of the pre-flight.
