"It's not a life for everyone but I'm proud of the crew I've got and their capabilities."
Though the excited look makes Jim grin outright, unable to contain his amusement at the question. He nods in reply quickly before he moves to explain.
"Well, yes. But we work and live alongside many non-human species in my time. Earth is under a centralized government and is part of a United Federation of Planets. Because of that, many of my crew are non-human Federation species. My first officer is half Vulcan. Starfleet, the scientific and peacekeeping organization I work for, is primarily staffed by humans, but part of that comes from its headquarters being based out of Earth. Many other stations will be more representative of whichever nearest planet exists to the Star Base."
Oraskis's enthusiasm makes Jim's smile wide. He's glad that even in this time people hold interest in the places beyond Earth.
"Though, by and large they don't look the way ancie--er, your contemporary idea of an aliens do."
