I'd be happy to tag along if you'd like. Maybe collect some for our stores as well.

[That has her grinning.] He's going to be making some common Ragnan cuisine. That's the planet we're settled on back home.

Sure, as long as it's all right with whoever runs the garden. [It is, he knows, important not to take more than their fair share.]

Ragnan food, huh? Guess I'll see what it's like soon enough. Back where I'm from, humans are really only on Earth anymore.

Last I heard it was community run, so as long as we leave a good supply, it shouldn't be a problem. [A nod!] Ragna's mainly a water planet, so a lot of what we had was sea food. This should be a more adaptive sort of meal.

[Oh. She blinks.] Where I'm from, humans are spreading out far from Earth. I've never been there personally.

A water planet? Nice! Last ocean world I was on was a moon, and you wouldn't want to eat what was in the water.

[He nods, knowing his timeline is a little...different.] They colonized the whole solar system back in the Golden Age, but that was centuries ago. Before my people were even born.

[She huffs a little in amusement.] There are no weird moon ocean creatures that I've seen around yet.

[Huh. She looks interested now.] Humanity's been spreading across the galaxy. for the last sixty years or so. Earth is still the home planet in a way, but I know more humans who haven't been than have. That's not counting the other humanoid species as well.

[Probably just as well. He's got a sneaking suspicion it's a worm god, and those things are not fun.]

[He nods.] That was their goal. Problem is, they got found by hostiles who wanted what they had. Nowadays there's only one city left, out of the thousands there used to be.

[#YIKES]

One city of humanity? There was a time when humanity was in danger, but... it was never that dire.

[video]

[twosoul]

Well. One city of humans. "Humanity" includes my people, and the Reef has a few cities. Total population of everyone is still under a hundred thousand, and that includes Exos--robotic people.

[The Golden Age had had billions of people spread out all over the system, and if he hadn't seen the ruins with his own eyes he'd fine it impossible to believe.]

That's why something like this Fleet is important to me. We tried to escape and failed. If this is a descendant of people who tried to escape and succeeded--

[Then humanity has a future.]

[video]

[axi]

[Oh. That's... very sad, really. While she highly doubts the Fleet is what he hopes, she'll do her best not to take that away.

Kaname's lip press together a little, and she gives just the slightest nod.]

I hope you're able to find what you're looking for, Lorden. [She pauses, then smiles slightly.] I'd like to hear more over dinner, too.

[video]

[twosoul]

[It is sad. But it makes fighting for what's left all the more important. Besides, it's not like he's really known anything else.]

I appreciate it. See you at dinner!
