[This is...a lot to process. Extinction event? The Emperor Undying? Thanergetic energy? Nine Houses? It would make anyone's head spin. But Douman just bows their head, letting out a chuckle.]
Ah, so that's to be the fate of Earth? How interesting. [A pause.] Mm, but that is quite the history. I have never heard of this thalergy...I guess it will be some time before it comes to light in some timeline of the world I come from.

The brilliant historian - how thrilled she would be at the opportunity to learn more of the period predating the Resurrection. But Pent is dead, so - there's no real reason to inquire.]

[Of course. If its in space, on dead planets...would "blue" be a color even possible to see?]
Ahaha. I guess that explains why you didn't know what a potato was.
