[ Jim returns the smile, happy that the subject wasn't an awful one in the end - and he's glad X'rhun was comfortable sharing. ]
It's my job, [ he says. Still not able to let go of that present tense, but he's more stubborn than in denial. ] The Earth I'm from doesn't seem to be a whole like like the Earth that most other humans here know. We're united under a single government, and allied with dozens of other planets in a wider collective called the Federation. I'm a part of Starfleet, which operates mostly from starships out in space. Exploring, offering aid, defending the Federation if a situation devolves to that point.
[ Blah blah. Jim's smile goes a little lopsided, self-aware. ] I can go on about it forever. It's completely crazy out there, but the things you see are all just ... incredible.
