Liam observed that Neville spent twenty minutes at the engine mechanics display. Neville even asked the museum's AI assistant increasingly detailed questions about fuel efficiency and thrust ratios.
"I work for a starship company. It seems appropriate to learn more about it."
"Most employees aren't this interested in the technical specifications."
Neville paused, realizing he might have been showing a bit too much enthusiasm. Due to his time in the "black hell hole," he became used to craving all sorts of unnecessary knowledge.
"I just find it interesting," he said, deliberately casual. "And since I'm going on this trip, I figured I should understand what I'm getting into."
Liam just shrugged and led Neville to a quieter corner of the museum where a small café offered refreshments with a view of the central atrium.
"We should probably head out if we want to see everything. There's still a lot left to explore."
