She might not be familiar with the history of this reality but she knows that Jim and his ship had to be important. And that ship was well loved considering how he reacted to the Enterprise they had found themselves on. "Perhaps you can tell me about her sometime. Space travel was something only in science fiction novels in my time."

A time that she had expected to be seen as archaic not amazing. She was adapting - fairly well considering the situation - but most of the things around her seemed more like something Howard would have dreamed of instead of something that was part of daily life.

"Most people would think that I'm out of date." Her tone held a hint of teasing, pleased that Jim hadn't thought of her as a relic of the past best forgotten. "I've been told that no one even remembers the era I came from."

Which had led Peggy to hope that perhaps future generations hadn't lived through the sort of horrors that accompanied the war. "No one should have to suffer though that. But that was the past. Perhaps we can make things better in the future."
