Wormhole science? He won't be able to build a trans-light engine from scratch, no, but he does know some of the basics, what they covered in basic, what he's learned from speaking to engineers on ships he's been assigned to. Slipspace jumps create tears, also known as wormholes depending on who you talk to.

"I know what wormholes are," he says, with a slight frown. "So what, a wormhole is what dumped us here?"

Like a badly calculated slipspace jump. Except last time he checked a person can't really do that, but maybe he'd gotten here in a ship and was thrown out in the cold, who knows.
