Major Foxnor couldn't understand what Khan was saying. Actually, all the people in the room were confused. The concept of a living element was too foreign for humans, and Khan didn't add much to his explanation.
Nevertheless, Khan ignored the general confusion and approached one of the soldiers to seize some booze. Afterward, he looked at the interactive table, sipping from his glass. His mind was a mystery to the audience, and he didn't fare any better.
Khan was no scientist. The Thilku had acknowledged him as a Shaman, but that title didn't have an exact meaning, especially to him. Khan didn't complete any specific training for the role nor follow the instructions of a proper expert in the field. He lacked theory, mainly using his heightened senses to understand what humans were blind to.
