Julian is truly more interested in the medical scan than he is anything else. He's seen his own, of course, and that of Jack, Patrick, Lauren, and Sarina. All five of them could pass for a completely normal human, were it not for their little...quirks. Julian indeed had for many years. The comparisons between himself and Dylan are fascinating to him.
"We usually warn people before we go jabbing them with things," Julian says genially. He's amused by it, though. And grateful his Captain isn't so difficult.
And as for Dylan's question:
"Some people may be a bit uncomfortable with the idea. Earth doesn't have a fantastic history with genetic manipulation in this universe, I'm afraid. But a Starfleet officer should be rather more open-minded about it."
Julian's friends had been. Then again, they'd also known him for years before his secret came out.
"It shouldn't make for much more than awkward conversation should the topic come up. Your Nietzchean crewman might actually find this applies less to him because of the obvious physical differences. If you do encounter any such problems though, anyone making you feel unwelcome, please don't hesitate to come to me."
