Kryus walked into the briefing room, squirming a little as he got used to his newly issued thermal armour - why in the name of sanity was it so difficult for them to leave space for his tail? He looked around, seeing the motley assortment of species, most of which he had never encountered before.
"Kryus", He said, bowing low to the other occupants of the briefing room, "Of the planet Kal'un. I'm informed that I am to be a member of Squad A - who would be my commander?"
Kryus was distinctly impressed by the number of individuals in the room, and wondered whether any more would be arriving. Kryus squirmed, as his sharp tail dug into his back. He was sorely tempted to put a hole in the armour to free it, though he knew this would defeat the point of the thermal protection. "Discomfort it is, then", he thought.
Looking behind him, Krus noticed a tall Relli entering the room, announcing his rank as he did so. Kryus fell silent, bowed to show his respect for the figure, and listened intently.
