Tony is very impressive. We don't have much space travel, either, but there's some. It's not commonplace, though. For us - there are aliens around, though. I think that's not common where a lot of other people here are from, though.
I think it's the secrecy that's working against them most of all. But I could be biased. I've been burned by agencies who kept things so secret, that included the rot festering right inside them. The right hand didn't know what the left was doing, so to speak. I'm not saying that's happening here, but I think you're right - those of us who aren't from this world could do to keep our own counsel.
But it can be hard to make friends. Especially when you don't know who to trust.
[Steve trusts Tony's judgement, though. So he already trusts this man, because Tony clearly does.]
