they can chat a lil before DUV GETS KIDNAPPED

That recognition is somewhat relieving, at least. That means they're in the same galaxy ( as absurd as going outside it would be, but who knows at this point ), probably still within the Orion arm. Earth as a place full of embassies for different empires, though, that's news to Wash, and of course Duv hasn't heard of the UEG if that's what Earth is in his -- memory? In his reality?

He shouldn't get ahead of himself, but he's pretty sure Duv has to be thinking along the same lines, here.

"I've never been to Earth," he says, after a while. "But that doesn't sound like the one I know. We're talking about the same one, aren't we? Sol system, one moon."

It's a bit of a rhetorical question, just from his tone, from the way he looks at Duv. He's pretty sure they are in fact talking about the same Earth, and maybe what's happening here is a whole lot stranger than he'd initially thought.
