The last thing she wanted was more trouble, which seems to be everywhere these days. Nevertheless, the young technician was relieved, and thankful she was right. Lazarus could always use more man-power, or in this case, woman-power, and a pretty one at that. All she was hoping now was her being able to contribute and meet expectations, but judging by her first impression, she seemed to be capable of delivering.<strong>"A-And I'm Hoshi Maki. It's such a pleasure to meet you, Terasu-sama. Please, make yourself at home,"</strong>she said in a welcoming matter, bowing out of courtesy. She was able to volunteer in aiding the newcomer, but Eric had beat her to it. Oh well. Him being the only american in the group, it might give him an opportunity to gain her trust anyway. Maki had no ill-well towards Eric, but known how judgmental some people can be, if anything, she'd wish him the better.<strong>"I'm also one of the technicians so if you need any farther assistance, don't hesitate to ask."</strong><br/><br/>She gave Takashi a form nodded as he confirmed the situation. The dangers of being ambushed by US units is real. All the more reason for Maki to expand her expertise and become a pilot. Besides being her main interest growing up, she wanted the desire to become more useful, becoming more than just a nerd-girl who likes machina. God knows Maki isn't a natural fighter, but damned if she'll be entirely defenseless. She had been wanting to become a full-fledged pilot, but with the support of Kumiko as well as others, the goal doesn't seem so far. Maki was patient. She was willing to wait a little longer...<br/><br/>Speaking of Kumiko, she turned to her senpai and said,<strong>"Geez, You sure enjoy exciting others with your 'announcements,' don't you?"</strong>She let out a light grin.
