Despite the eerily dramatic reveal of a cryopod on the ship from the time that they knew, the name Nate Hummer means nothing to most of them.

They were expecting something cliche, like Oliver Lancaster, who they had seen dead twice now. The ginger haired scientist was a nightmare, and the fact that he had found a way back to life enough to near fatally injure Felix, was enough to make all of them paranoid.

Equally distressing was the fact that it hadn't been Lightning Storm. The boy who had grown up without a sister, and who negated powers with a thought. (And was probably traumatized because his power had been the thing that had killed MDO captain Zara Woods once and for all)

The way Cooper spoke suggested that cryopods weren't necessarily uncommon in this day and age (which happened to be nearly 2000 years ahead of the life they remembered). He tilted his head after the conversation, paused long enough to answer Ash (whom of all he seemed to adore the most but only because he believe she was the dates PeaceMaker who was destined to bring down this very ship), and then he was gone leaving them alone in the ship's brig mostly incapacitated.

The candle flickered. The ship creaked. The distant yells of pirates and and the crash of waves against the boat were almost calming.

But there was a sudden wave of inexplicable shock that washed over the group that made it impossible to sit still. The name Nate Hummer meant nothing to eight of them.

However Ash jumped like she had been electrically shocked. Her face was pale, her shoulders shook. Her mouth opened to make words but it seemed that for a second nothing would come to her mind.

It seemed the name Nate Hummer meant something to her.
