There would have been something funny in the situation that was happening around them had it NOT been happening around them. In fact Makari was sure he had seen a half dozen or so comedies from various planets which played along a similar plot. Someone either grew older or younger to hilarious consequences. Be it old Earth movies or modern Klingon opera, it was a theme that connected the cosmos in laughter. Or so it should have. When not actually happening at any rate. With it happening? Not exactly the funniest times to be had by all. Aging endlessly, getting younger and younger, neither were a fun way to spend life. And both invariably ended the same way. Death. By old age or... by being unborn?<br/><br/>Makari shook his head and then nodded at the CMO. She was relying on his expertise in the current situation. Another funny situation. He was temporarily assigned to sciences. He was just settling into a job that wasn't even his. But he was going to have the lead here. It would have been funny... again... if not so serious. He wanted to sigh and laugh all at once. All that would have led to was a medical discharge due to perceived senility though. Instead he just nodded. Again. Because nodding didn't make him look elderly and doddering around at all. Nope.<br/><br/>Did he think he couldn't handle the task? Of course not. Did he think it would be easy? Of course not. Did he think he was stalling now? Of course. A small smile and a bit of a laugh and he pulled up some new data onto the screen. "We could use fresh scans of someone aging and someone getting younger, seems we have examples of both on hand, so if you would like to handle the scanning while I dig through the transporter logs we might make some headway in this little problem?" Makari suggested to the doctor. "I could use access to the medical directories and databases as well, medical access not just my overriding 2nd officer access, would make things much easier,"
