He's a nerd, so of course there are going to be questions. Questions that Mick answers easily, drawing on lifetimes lived at the Vanishing Point.

"They jumped away in the time ship, just before the explosion, before the overload caused a cascade failure and destroyed the Oculus entirely. The explosion that took him."
Mick holds up a hand. "Ask how I know all that another time. Not now." And it's a profound show of growing trust that Mick even considers telling Ramon about his life as Chronos.
