He takes in her confused expression, also cocking his head. ] Huh. See, they're kind of a big deal where I'm from. I'm just trying to figure out, if we're both from Earth and all, if it's just that we're from different times or... I guess if the difference is bigger.

[ He scratches his head. How to explain. ] Okay so Conduits... are basically people who have special abilities. There's a bunch of different kinds, and apparently it's genetic, so it's not like some disease you can catch.
