But also, it was a tired one. “Presumptive, much?” She sighed. “Look, I get curiosity and I get that people who are told ‘don’t look at a thing’ then have even more reason to want to find out. But I am asking you as a fellow officer to back off. What you feel is curiosity could very well hurt people. There are reasons that situation is the way it is. And you know what? Us low rankers get absolutely no say in it, if we’re told we don’t get a say in it. That’s the deal we made when we joined Starfleet and donned these uniforms. We don’t have to like it some days, but we do have to abide by it.”
