<hr/><strong>Name:</strong>Roland Brandt<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Lounge<br/><strong>Time (if Needed):</strong>(Post-Timeskip)-Afternoon<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>All<br/><hr/><br/>The handshake is accepted firmly, his hand rough from work and training, grip measured and respectful. and he clears his throat on the matter of his habit of swearing like... Well, a Marine. He decides to tackle the matter of his misstatement regarding time and difficulty first. "Longest, yeah, might've been. Got some godda- pretty stiff competition there, too. Not much more boring than dropping into battle only to wind up punching through the planet's crust an' having to wait for rescue or capture. Wouldn't think you could get lonely for a trench fight, but there it is."<br/><br/>He offers a handshake to Eli as well, now the medical business is over and there's nothing pressing to delay it.<br/>"Honored to be aboard, Miss McKenzie, and dam- right pleased to have a competent sawbones on hand, Doctor Henkow. The swearin' thing's more of an attempt to be more respectable as a businessman than anythin'. If I don't stow that shi- mind my tongue in casual conversation, it's a lot harder to do it when barterin' with a client or station traffic controller who tests yer patience... And in my experience that's most of 'em."<br/><br/>"Like I say, you didn't have to stop to pick me up, and I'm in yer debt. Until we part ways, consider me at the service of the crew. Basic mechanical knowledge, enough medical trainin' to assist in triage, piloting, you name it. I can handle myself in a fight just fine, too, an' you've fucki-... damn we-... *absolutely* earned a fighting man by savin' his hide, you ask me, though with any luck that favor won't get called in."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Haven't got a character image yet, but...
