You would be right. I'm from the year 2260.

Well, I meant besides the whole kidnapping part.

[grandstanding]

[Much further than 2022. Too far to think about in any detail; he'd be long dead by then.]

I had, at least, seen DVD players and computers before coming here. More advanced ones. [He had refused to believe an entire computer could fit into the tiny laptop for a while. But he'd gotten used to the idea eventually.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Forty years shy of when Kirk knew in Earth History than mankind achieved warp travel, and thus drew the attention of the Vulcans. ]}

Heh, in my era, DVD players are considered vintage, at minimum. I don't know of anything that comes on a disc anymore.

_{[ He paused for a breath as he thought about it and shook his head. Nope. ]}

You guys would have just barely gotten to the moon in the seventies, right?

[grandstanding]

[The moon again. He sighs.]

Yes, and I hope you won't be as bewildered by that idea as the last person I told. [That starry-eyed Luke Skywalker and his careless amazement.] The moon landing was four years ago.

[universal_charm]

Bewildered? Why would I be bewildered? It's interesting that you are from a time period that's so close to the initial contact, but that event is part of my Earth's past too.

_{[ He cocked his head at him and he his mouth quirked a little at the corners. ]}

Are you one of those who thinks it didn't actually happen?

[grandstanding]

I have enough conspiracy theories in my life without adding a ridiculous one like that.

[universal_charm]

_{[ That gets his mouth to curl in his habitual grin and a soft laugh. ]}

And what might those be, if you don't mind my asking? Maybe I can shed some light on a few.

[grandstanding]

It's not your concern. [They all revolve around Kennedy, and his hand in the assassination. Not something he feels the need to discuss, especially with someone far removed from the event.]
