Makari said with a nod of his head. If he was kidding or not? Well he wasn't about to say. But on Risa stranger things had been known to happen than aliens with odd names, and the sheer volume of visitors his home planet received meant he had likely run into more strangers and alien species than some starship captains off in the depths of space. Plus it was darn funny to leave the idea hanging in the air, and as far as first impressions go, a funny one always tended to be remembered just a notch or two above a bad one.<br/><br/>Makari nodded again. "Yes sir, I'm the second officer, in case you and the captain become unfit for duty this ship is all mine, so Doctor, want to declare them unfit for me?" Makari laughed lightly as he acknowledged his position on the ship. And apparently moved to improve it with medical unfitness reviews. "But seriously, I'm second officer, and Ops Chief and general expert on all things Risian, I think my resume says I am good with juggling too..."<br/><br/>As the doctor announced she better get going because of the meeting, Makari stood from the table as well. "I think that's my cue to go as well, I can't be late for our very first meeting and expect to keep all my pips in tact can I?" Makari laughed lightly before he finished off the last of his drink. "It was a pleasure meeting you both and I will see you... well shortly at the meeting." And with that, Makari headed out of the lounge and down the halls.<br/>
