[Connor raises his eyebrows at that - he sort of expected that aliens would be living their lives far beyond their solar system while humanity lived in total obliviousness. But apparently not by this Tannor's reckoning. People just...visit from other planets.

He's glad that future's waiting for them.]

Nice to meet you, Tannor.

[And then he remembers himself - and can't help being amused about it. He couldn't have imagined only a month or two ago ever just losing track of his job.]

I gotta go, I'm still on duty. And, uh... I don't how much I can help yet, but if you need anything, I'm around.

[Not that he's already working on a list of weird and stupid questions about space and other planets to work into future conversations or anything like that.]
