Riker's been standing listening to this conversation with a great deal of amusement, and he almost makes a move when he thinks they are calling him a woman. Apparently in some universe the women wore beards. He swiftly realised they are not talking about him and he could almost be called a little disappointed, he might have had some brief fun with that one.
"You can try and call dibs on a woman, but I am warning you they bite." He strolls towards the pair of them. "We are as real as the two of you are. I am Commander William Riker, First Officer of the Starship Enterprise, the ship you are currently visiting." Visiting is a pretty broad term for it, but he's being diplomatic about it. "Your visit may be a pretty long one, we don't have the means to send you home just yet."
