[For a moment there's no response, Cayde is far too stunned by the response. Then slowly but surely he sits a little straighter, his mouth-lights flashing dimly at first until they reach an intensity that's almost bright enough to light up a small area of the car around them. He may not be able to grin, but it's the closest approximation.]
That was a joke. [It totally was.] You made a joke.
[This feels like a remarkable moment in history, and he looks around to see if anyone else has noticed. Unfortunately it seems as though this monumental breakthrough has passed everyone else by.] You made. A joke.
[Forgive him, it's going to take a moment for him to get over this. And then when the initial shock wears off, there's laughter. Well played, Connor, well played.] You sly dog, didn't think you had it in you.
[But Connor has asked a question, so when he's able to get himself back under control, lights dimmed back to an acceptable level, he only offers a shrug in return.] Honestly? Your guess is as good as anyone else's. And before you go on about how it isn't, yes it is because nobody really knows. It's just...a big floaty ball. Used to travel around from planet to planet, something about terraforming and something about heralding technological revolution. That's really it though.
It's a big ball [He uses both hands to draw a circle in the air.] and it's damaged and it sits right about the Last City. Sucker has been dormant for...hell, for as long as I can remember until really recently.
[Holding up a hand to ward off the inevitable question that he knows is coming, he continues on.] Long story short, lots of bad guys want it or something, and it got damaged and conscripted people like me to defend it.
