The Alien introduced itself as Condo — an abbreviation of Condere. During its long tenure under the ice, it has become enamoured of human history: warriors, myths, and legends.
‘Condere is a given name in Irish. We know of this warrior from the Ulster Cycle. Earthlings call it Irish mythology. We were there.
‘Lauded for his eloquent songs and fighting in the days of Queen Medb, the people of Ulaid gave their name to the province of Ulster,’ it explained.
Mentally transmitting images, words, and songs by a warrior from almost two thousand years ago, Condo left Percival and Jethro reeling.
