"Yes, the Natha... like Darma?" Atsushi doubts himself the moment the words leave his mouth. Maybe the Natha haven't actually been talking to the newly awoken, the way they did before. "The gods - or whatever you want to call them - that brought us here."

He wouldn't have called them gods, before; he's less sure now, and the fact that Olympian temples worship Thesa makes it a little easier to think of the Natha as gods in the space station's stead.

"I think you can stay? I don't know if I'd recommend it, though... There's not much here; down on the planet, you can build a new life." The advice comes out easily enough, but the question in Atsushi's head doesn't go away - and it's prying, but he's just too curious. "Can I ask why you'd want to stay?" There have been people more used to outer space than a planet for living; he supposes it could just be that.
