Kyeo's head hurts very badly. He doesn't remember how he got that way but he can guess that he's taken a blow to the head. That doesn't explain why he's not on a spaceship any more but he should probably not expect to figure that out right now. He looks confusedly at the non-spaceship around him for a minute before closing his eyes.

The public housing environs have a similar combination of very short houses and shops with occasionally confusing purposes.
And then the moon rises.

Yep. That is Earth's famous moon. Without any stuff on it. Just plain, unmistakeable Luna.
He looks at it for a while.
He walks back to where he's been staying and sleeps there. And in the morning he tries to figure out how to phone Lev without making it seem like he is in distress and requires urgent rescue.

"I am at a public housing suite but I did tell the person I might not stay long. I got a look at the moon and it... definitely looks like this is the past."
stargazer
"Earth's moon is very recognizable, and in my time it has some things on it that would be visible from here. I don't have to worry about classified information if there is no Ibyabek to betray."

He sounds slightly confused when he says, "Sure. --So we don't actually have government buildings, do you want to meet in the office of my house until your house is sorted out?"
stargazer
"All right. I'll be there soon."
He goes out and gets a "breakfast burrito" and calls a car.
And the car deposits him at a large house. The door is opened by a small child.
"Daddy says you're an alien from the future."
