Even with his awakened brain, he couldn't understand a thing they were saying so he just quit while he was ahead.

Alex had already instructed the ship's AI to do such a thing, so he wasn't surprised.
"While we are here, twiddling our thumbs while waiting for the others to arrive, I may as well make use of this time to explain some key things."
He cleared his throat before beginning to speak again.
