Tyrone reached his hand out to shake with the Officer, he could tell that the initial intimidation tactics were a test of some kind, and he had passed. He smirked at the outrageous comment in spite of himself. The guy definitely had a strong personality, in a strange way, a break from the typical clean-cut officers he had encountered was somewhat refreshing.

He once again gestured with the sniper, he wouldn't want to get mixed up right in the face of the action with a long range weapon.

"But I'll give you cover... that is of course if you'll even need it."

He once again smirked, a little more deliberately this time. He did want to stick with this guy, but of course he didn't seem the type that would like the implication that he would even need help from a lowly private. 

Either way it was becoming quite clear between the music and action movie-esque Officer he'd be following that this wasn't an ordinary ship
