Who was he...? Shouldn't that be obvious?
But then... this place was bad for him, hard on him. Maybe it wasn't so inconceivable that he was starting to forget.
"You're Admiral ZEX." He paused, then expanded, "A VUX from Beta Luyten, who later lived in Alpha Cerenkov, and us interstellarly known for his brilliance. Currently experiencing the setback of being stuck in a crazy place where people lie to him and tell him he's crazy." He half-smiled at ZEX, lightly holding him with that one arm around the waist. "I hope that sounds familiar?"
