There he is, the man I have heard oh so much about.

[The way he talks, it's about a fifty-fifty chance he's being genuine, or sarcastic. It's really hard to tell.]

Worry not, I had no designs to take this organization any more seriously than what was truly necessary, but your counsel is duly noted. It does my heart good to know that, in the face of our indifferent masters of sorts, that one among us truly cares about his fellow transplants, ready and willing to take the reins of leadership. Yours is a soul most compelling, and thus I can see why the others flock to your stalwart guidance.

But, I do suppose you have the right of it, folly of me to ask the others of their own expertise while withholding mine own. I am a man of science and knowledge, an engineer of sorts. I have experience with—and even invented—technologies that far exceed the paltry standard of this star. I do suppose it is worth mentioning that from whence I have been spirited away, I served as Emperor to my people, bringing about their technological revolution, as well as their rise to power in our most uncaring star.

Of course, that is but the start of my lengthy résumé.
