Even as Oraka nodded approvingly at the Patriarch's words, Augurius was quick to respond, his gums flapping as rapidly as they were moments ago.  "Quite the opposite!  Observing Warp transit always exciting, hum of ship systems soothing."  He took a deep breath before grimacing sheepishly.  "Galley probably needs to restock on caf..."

"Augurius, my friend, leave that to the ship's quartermasters," Venatius smiled serenely as always as he pat the fidgety priest's shoulder.  "Regardless, the Patriarch speaks truthfully.  There is much to discuss, and still others more to arrive.  What inquiries do you have of us?"  The blue-scaled Shalyan turned his smile to the assembled humans.
