It was all too much, too fast. Charles was struggling to keep up with even the basics as he dusted off his knees, vaguely listening to Jack but more intent on trying to look at everything at once. Aliens. He was looking at aliens (who were staring at him, or he thought they were)! His fingers shook enough that he ended up gripping them at his sides, only then taking his first proper steps on alien soil.

Thankfully, he didn't immediately try to read any minds, but that was mostly due to trying to absorb everything else through his other senses, first. What he was witnessing through the main five was more than enough to keep his mind occupied for the moment, that childish wonder still on his face as he tried to take it in.

"What.. what year is this?" he asked quietly as he came up from behind on Jack, trying to imagine Earth having any technology like this. Was this what was on Mars? It hadn't been long since they had been to the moon!
