Makoto nodded his head to Baxter's words. "Yes I think the same thing as well." he said before looking at how to choose his next words. "I'll be honest with you Baxter this is my first actual command. I know it's not the best thing I could say but I wanted it stated anyway so that nothing his held back so to speak. Also truth be told I'm a little nervous about this assignment considering the things that happened a few weeks ago with William and all. I want to know what your opinions are and where you stand as far us is concerned?" he said to him. Makoto knew that Baxter wasn't a die hard like himself that he had his movtivations for what he did but he wanted to know that despite what the federation did Makoto would support him so long as he held true thier friendship. Or at least if they could get that far.
