Cayde laughs, and he hasn't laughed and meant it since he got here. It feels like it's been a year.

"Of course. I'd say at the rate that kid's going places I'm gonna be shown up in no time flat, but I also know when I'm already beat. I'm gonna see if 'Heropants' sticks and keep it simple."

He's off and chattering while processing that this... hasn't happened yet. Time travel's hardly a new concept, what with all the Vex crap they wrangle. They're already in the wrong place, why not wrong times too?

"But anyway..."

It's complicated and messy, so he'll hop for something that isn't. Cayde fishes a folded piece of paper out of his pocket, unwrinkling an already rather creased printout of some guy with a conveniently human face smiling.

"Got me a key here, watch this," he says as he holds it up to the scanner.
