[ god damnit, captain. he sort of jerks back because he's trying to think -- what did he notice? oh god, oh god, oh god. reviewing his mind over. ]

Ah... it seems the convention is being hosted by the same company that brought us to this place. This... CERES? But it has little to do with what the company's about which... I haven't figured out yet either... There doesn't seem to be a theme to the convention other than it being a lively gathering full of obnoxious-- Uh. Energetic people trying to enjoy themselves? Though I've seen a few people with striking similarities to people back home and I think it might be intentional but they get a lot of details wrong and don't seem to know anything about us beyond our likeness. No knowledge of the Orochi or the Vessel or even Japan, it looks like. Overall, it's a harmless gathering of people who live here and people who just arrived with barely any substance underneath that. Not a threat.

[ a pause and then he tilts his head forward a little ]

Captain.

[ and he won't insult him by telling him anything about the powerpoint either. of course sousei's already figured out that much. ]
