Wow, she's...perky. It's actually pretty refreshing. And hey, this is probably going to make him sound like a big damn hero, even if he hasn't actually been on that many worlds before. Church leans back, folding his hands behind his head. "Weeeellllll, there are a lotta variable involved, but yeah, lot of planets out there we go to in ships, and they're pretty different. Some totally inhospitable, some just like Earth." Wait. Hm. This probably isn't Earth, now that he thinks about it. "Which is like, the home planet, where humans evolved before populating other planets.

"Anyway, my favorite place?" He could make something up, because he's damn sure there's a perfect planet out there, with nothing but white sandy beaches and crystal waters. He knows it. But hey, gotta stick with the classics. Even if it's kind of schmoopy. Not like any of the others are here to make fun of him about it. "I was stationed in this one base in a valley, a gulch. High reddish-brown cliffs with some cave systems, dirt paths, grassy though, a little hilly. The sun never set, at least not while I was there. It really didn't look alien there, aside from the perpetual sun, but that place was pretty close to home."

He snaps his fingers and makes a motion around them. "Oh, but this one place was just, like, perpetual blizzard. Everything covered in snow and ice and almost nothing but white, mountains and glaciers and cliffs everywhere. I hated that place." Didn't help that literally everyone there also got murdered, and it also doesn't help that he's not entirely sure how accurate that memory is, or if he made it up. "So, not big on snow, so I guess I'll just have to suck it up."
