He regards Captain Hunt with a small smile. "Steve."
Out here, there's no reason to stand on protocol. His rank is meaningless on this ship, as is the name "Captain America". Dylan seems like a decent guy, and even if Steve doesn't recognize any of the organizations he is talking about, there's an inborn camaraderie between servicemen.
"Tell me about it," he says. "Getting stuck in space wasn't exactly high priority for me. Assuming time is passing back home, my superior officers are not going to be happy with me. But at least I only have a couple hundred years to catch up on. I can't even get my head around 5168 as a year."
Or around the concept of Earth becoming some blip on the map of a larger commonwealth, when back where Steve just came from humans can't stop fighting over it long enough to push out into space. "Maybe you'd like to sit, sir."
