"I think there'd have to be more scholars about for us to have special names." He chuckled. So it seemed that Tsubaki was no scholar; pity, he'd just have to save his math discussions to fling at Peter and see if anything stuck. But that meant she'd also be much easier to wow with some very elementary concepts, if it ever came to that. Really, Tsubaki seemed the sort to come pre-wowed to most discussions. "As long as you think it's all right, I'll stick with Viking, then. Though I hope I don't disappoint too many people when I show up without a massive beard."

He nodded. "I have been warned that things get ugly at night, so I've taken steps to ensure that I'm at least not wandering about on my own. Hm, so we're being evaluated... interesting. That certainly puts a different spin on things." Soma had spoken of abilities as well. It seemed that it was fairly common here, for people to have some sort of extra-human ability. Though perhaps that was part of the design of the abductions. "I will hope that the regaining of abilities is the case, though it's still quite limited use when it comes to me since I'm more of a theory rather than execution sort." He grinned. "I suppose a weapon could at least let me appear marginally useful until I tried to actually do something with it."
