The other night

Me trying to understand the video game Wade has been playing lately where he's trying to save the universe from mass takeover or something:

(All the characters on the game are wearing space battle type suits and the set looks like a very techie spaceship type of place. There are also weird looking characters that are various types of aliens apparently. Wade's character dates an alien girl, and she is trying to decide whether to get routine gene therapy to prevent a heart defect in the baby she's carrying from her dead husband.)

Me: So what year is this supposed to be taking place?
Wade: About 100 or 200 years from now - not that long.
Me: So are you on Earth?
Wade: No, I'm on another planet in a different galaxy.
Me: Are you from Earth though?
Wade: (with a slight twinge of frustration) YES, Kim, all humans are from Earth!

Duh.

Kim!!! ugh... can you get anything right? My character is dating a female soldier from Eden Prime. The girl getting gene therapy for her baby was located at the Presidium on the Citadel (the galaxy's largest space station).
