The Butler can't help but notice the significant amount of relief in the young sir's posture and breath. He can refrain from commenting on it. If this project is to the young man something of what Domesticon is to the Butler, a source of anxiety, best not to mention it.
The Butler wouldn't much care for being asked whether he intends to turn himself in for recycling.
Being from the relative future sounds exceedingly strange to the Butler, but manners call for a less combative response. "As you say, sir."
It might not be wrong. It is just a tremendously odd thought for which the Butler was not designed. He makes a note of the possibility in case he ever needs to offer it to equally puzzled kidnap victims.
"And is there any progress yet on discovering how it is we come to be on this station?" he inquires, since this human seems to take an interest in such questions. Probably not, but it's a safer topic than Domesticon or secret projects.
