Most of what SecUnit tells him is completely lost on Edward, although he tries to visualise it. A shattered moon, deserted settlements, altered local species? It's too much for him, and the muddy wasteland image spreads out from him again, although with slight changes; this time, dark, tangled plants sporting wicked thorns grow in the churned mud, and shadowy creatures with yellow eyes flit back and forth in the gloom.

When SecUnit tells him it's not human, Edward pauses for a moment. He has no idea how to process that, but he also has no reason to disbelieve it. Why would someone say it's not human if it is? SecUnit also doesn't seem keen to talk about it, so Edward tilts his head to the side and addresses the major issue that he envisions cropping up between them.

"If we go anywhere together, I'm afraid I may ask you to take my arm and guide me. I," and he gestures at his eyes, "can't see, and have difficulty navigating on my own. I would, of course, let you initiate contact, if it's necessary."

And then he smiles faintly. "Or we can stay right here and keep talking. You said settlements... does that mean it appears that people, or other things, were here at some point?"
