	::I was wondering the same, having just watched Razor. It wasn't so much his uniform that made me wonder it, but more the question of why Cain would have assigned someone of such a low rank as Lieutenant to perform what is presumably thought of as a very important task. One would assume that he either has a reputation for brutality / sourcing information as an "extra vocational skill", or he is in some sort of appropriate role. Marines would seem appropriate.		::I was wondering the same, having just watched Razor. It wasn't so much his uniform that made me wonder it (nb.

	::Another thought I had was that he's quite, well, old to be a Lieutenant, really. Either he isn't very good at his job, and didn't earn the promotions - unlikely, given the respect he earned from the crew, and the responsibility Cain places in him - or he was "Mustanged" from Enlisted service. --[[User:Captain Untouchable\|Captain Untouchable]] 02:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC)		::Another thought I had was that he's quite, well, old to be a Lieutenant, really.

	His query of "Do you want my guards to come in with you?", his uniform arrangement, and his general demeanor hint that this cat isn't typical "fleet". My estimation is that he ''might'' be a Marine officer, and in fact, the one with the most amount of command seniority on ''Pegasus''.

== A Marine? ==
After watching [[Pegasus]] for the third time, something jumped out at me. I reviewed the scenes several times, and ''maybe'' it was a difference in lighting. Or, maybe, this might be one of those times where a question can/should be posted to Mr. Moore or Mr. Eick regarding clarification (minor importance of course)... but, could Lt. Alistair Thorne ''possibly'' be a Marine officer?
