Zhane smiles at John "I am glad to hear it's going well for you. And I happy to hear that you have found someone as well, companionship is important."
He turns and takes up the glass he placed on the table and takes another sip
"It does sound like you keep yourself busy, with all those ships I mean. It's good to hear that you are doing some good out there, Creator knows Sirius needs good men"
He looks back as he asks and says after a few moments "You can inform them that we came from Outcast space, was hunted by the Phantoms and chased out, that the Zoner community took us in. We are a spiritual people, and our practices are somewhat.. Complicated and a bit odd to outsiders. We praise and believe in a Creator. A living machine that we had made contact with through a number of probes found in Sirius. We believe in technology and to advance ourselves and our ships. We have AI among us, living like any other citizen of our kind. We aren't warlike, we just defend ourselves and our allies. That we once helped with the construction of Gran Canaria, helped refugees there and also assisted the Zoner Alliance during some skirmishes. And that we aim to rebuild what we had, but as you said. We can always remain on our colony ships if no planet can be settled on. Just.. Need some time" he sighs and then shrugs
"You can tell them the truth, from what you remember of us. I trust you John, as did Jechaim" and draws a circle over his chest
