[He frowns at the guy's back as they run. "Brainiac" certainly sounds right, at least. Is that a name or a title or a descriptor or what?]
I'm from Vertumna. It's about twenty years plus a wormhole jaunt away from Earth, if you're ever heard of that one.
[Would even Earth be known to aliens at all? Vertumna is probably pretty backwater, and as far as he'd heard Earth hadn't made contact with alien life or sent out any other colony ships or anything. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise him if Earth was known and all the other sentient life had just avoided it deliberately. Humans kinda suck, and it sounded like the ones back on Earth were even worse somehow.]
