Not hearing of the UEG is -- maybe not entirely unthinkable, maybe, but more than bizarre. Then again he's never heard of Cetaganda and they're apparently an entire empire out here, and then when Duv goes on to explain the term Nexus, well, ah. Talking about how far Chorus is from the entirety of space would be a pretty nonsensical question.
Wash shakes his head, manages a bit of a laugh, but it's clear from his tone and his expression that he's -- wary, uncertain. He likes to think he's relatively well-informed, but the people here are using words he's never even heard of. Just how far is this place from Chorus? From any system he knows of?
"This is the first I've heard of the term," he says finally. "It's just space, where I come from -- and apparently, I come from somewhere more exotic than I thought."
A pause. Maybe there's a chance Duv might recognize Earth, at least, though the chance seems slim at this point. "The UEG stands for the United Earth Government."
i thought i'd already tagged this sob im the worst
