The first law of Bureaucracy is, show no curiosity outside your cubicle. It's like the first rule of every army that's ever bashed a square: never volunteer.
If you ask questions {or volunteer} it will be taken as a sign of inactivity, and the devil, in the person of your line manager {or your sergeant} will find a task for your idle hands. What's more, you'd better believe it'll be less appealing than whatever you were doing before {creatively idling, for instance}, because inactivity is a crime against organization and must be punished.
