"It was, I think. Full story's kinda long; the short version is we were attacked by something that knocked us all the way into a Dark Age. Came inside a nanometer of rendering humanity extinct. It's been more than a thousand years, though. We're fighting our way back."
The last is meant as reassurance: this is a grim turn of conversation, and while grim subjects don't bother her, this is a party and he looks so concerned. If he looks too worried she'll be compelled to pat his shoulder. She's a tactile kind of Exo.
