[A smirk, and his tone suggests the question that follows is mostly rhetorical:] What's 'the Alliance'?

But encryption I can do. Other ships in the Fleet might be able to decode it, and I'm not going to bet against the Atroma either, but it's not our fellow captives we're guarding against anyway, and it's probably just best to assume the Atroma know everything we do until proven otherwise. [A slight grimace.] No one mentioned any attacks to me. ...Then again, I suppose I didn't think to ask. Space travel isn't exactly...common enough for that, where I'm from.

[Kaidan answers with a vaguely rueful smile] That's the reason anyone brought it up at all. The fact that the fleet has people like you, who haven't developed spaceflight yet or barely even understand what it is. As well as civilians and people who wouldn't know how to defend themselves. It's not just my job here, it's been my job for a long time...

[And that seems like a natural segue point, so his pause is brief] The Alliance...is who I work for. Earth still has it's own terrestrial militaries, but the Alliance protects the Earth's galactic interests and borders. So if there's any chance I can reach them...

[He looks a little injured at that.] Hey now, give me some credit - I've spent half my life living in orbit. It's interplanetary travel that's new. [Sort of. Traveling between alternate dimensions doesn't really count.]

[But then it's back to business.] A space-traveling military faction certainly sounds like something useful to have on our side. I'm assuming you know what kind of encoding they'd be looking for - I should be able to set up a signal if you can give me parameters for it.

Sorry. I got used to the 'space is new to me' answer a little too quick. Was it a space-station? [Seems like a reasonable explanation.]

It'll take me a little longer to remember the proper coding without my omni-tool, but I think I can replicate it.

[cloakand_danger]

A city on a tethered comet. ...It's a long story.

Excellent. I'll get to work on the parts that I can do without that to start with, then.

[bi_otic]

Sure. Though...I don't think I'm going anywhere for awhile if you felt like telling that story.

[He has questions, ok, but he's also not a scientist]
