Listen up people of Earth, this is Cayde-6 speaking. First point of order: I have been informed that I'm your new Gun Safety Campaign Spokesman and I am very happy to keep your guns safe. Safe with me because my gun didn't make the trip and I'm feeling so very, very, very naked without it. If anyone can give me a loaner I'll owe ya big time.

Point number two: Just ... think of this as one of those ice-breaking exercises. You know the ones where everybody's awkward and doesn't wanna talk but you gotta answer some stupid question? One of those. Just. Just out of idle curiosity: what is your favorite thing about Earth? It can be anything, doesn't matter how small. In fact, it might be the small things that are the most important. Asking for a friend who isn't used to seeing it so ... intact.

[He counts out his fingers to four, thinks again, and subtracts one.]

Aaand number three: gimme the skinny on good places to eat around Maurita Falls? Extra points for good ramen joints. And I mean the real stuff, none of that instant business.

[ Pidge just blinks at that last bit. Everyone and everything being killed or destroyed would definitely put a damper on any fact finding missions. ]

"The Darkness"? Is that seriously what you call it? [ Not the point Pidge, not the point ]

But I can see how everyone dying would prevent information from being preserved.

It fits the theme, what with us serving the Light and all that. We're not going to call its ancient enemy, like, Steven. Although it would be kinda funny.

'Serving the Light'? This isn't some religious thing is it?

[ A beat passes and then she chuckles ]

Calling Zarkon Steven would have been hilarious.

For some folks it is. I can't say that I lean too far in that direction.

[ Cool, cool, cool.

Subject change time! Since she just doesn't want to get into any sort of religious debate. ]

So you used to be human. You don't remember anything?

[There's no danger of that; he's not particularly invested any given religious school of thought.]

There are flashes of it here and there. Nothing solid, though.

[pidgewidgeon]

And that’s true of all Exos?

[lootsnshoots]

As far as I can tell, it's a random draw on what we can remember. I'm using the word "remember" loosely, now, what's there isn't that strong.

So your memories start when you became an Exo?

I know that sounds like a straightforward question, but askin' an Exo Guardian when his memories start is real complicated.
