Give her a laugh in return for the poker comment...
"If I were you I wouldn't place any bets against me being a hell of a  
poker player. Just ask the crew on the Hidalgo how well I play  
checkers."

I'm trying to recall what the minister looks like.

Return to the stern and competent demeanor.
"Trust me Minister Khan. I can fully understand what it's like to be  
in your position. Unfortunately the only person that knows why I am  
here, besides myself and now you. Is my former C.O. And he's at least  
two weeks away by now. I don't know what has been going on around  
here. But there is most definitely something going on. And I  
certainly did not initially intend to interfere with your  
investigation. However. I have a thought... Perhaps it would be best  
to work together on this after all?"

Giver my best conspiratorial grin.
"I'm certain that together we can quickly get to the bottom of this  
entire mess... How well do you know Lt. Kerenikh?"
