There is a moment's pause before Elidibus extends his hand to accept the gesture of a handshake.
"I am Elidibus. It is good to meet you, Commander." He seems to give the title due respect, though there is no sense of a military air about him. Briefly his gaze drifts back to the makeshift armory before going to the firing range itself. It's interest but definitely not confusion.
"I'm familiar with a great deal of martial weapons and their use. Though I have rarely had the occasion or need to use firearms in particular." He might not look the part but he doesn't appear to be lying either. In a place such as this it's probably not surprising though.
"I was curious about the breadth of the technology on display however. Does this represent what one may find on this star or is this selection another benefit of the nature of Horizon?"
Elidibus was - and still is - under the impression that the sophistication of technology was not such a wide range. And whereever he's from, he seems to have the ability to recognize the difference between crossbow, flintlock, rifle and space-age weaponry as very anachronistic.
But with the Summoned coming from myriad worlds and times; possibly able to bring their technologies to life on Abraxas? This was something to pay heed to, in case someone took advantage of it. No matter how many of those displayed weapons were actually present in the world now.
