“And I’m supposed to just believe you because—”
“Kate—” he says
“Asshole—” I reply.
“There’s more of a pressing issue, if I may cut back into this conversation, General? Female?” Jex growls out.

I soften my words, “2136 is definitely not the year you came to my world.”
His face drains of all color and his eyes flash toward Jex.
“If what she says is true,” Jex says, “we somehow traveled back in time.”
“How far back?” Rune asks.
“Over thirty years before our people first left the planet,” Jex replies.
