"Earth is not my home, not anymore." It's said matter-of-factly but here's a small degree of sadness showing in Peter's eyes. The only thing left on Earth are memories of his family, his mother, and all of them are sad, broken ones. He sounds far more cheerful when he speaks again, nodding at Gen's assessment.

"The Galaxy is incredible, you're right. Plenty of places to see, people to meet, trouble to run away from...I wouldn't change for anything. And you don't need to know all that much to be a space traveler where I come from."

Earth has high standards for astronauts, of course, because their tech is centuries behind what's usual in most other places in the galaxy. But in reality, you only need a ship and a good crew to make your space dreams come true.

Peter's eyes light up with surprise and amusement, not only because of the card trick- which was very cool- but because of the word Gen used to describe himself.

"That's very interesting, I'd love to know more. You know...there's someone else here who told me about a friend his being a Mentalist. He also has a similar scar on his face. Two actually, in his forehead."
