    I bet they’d be rather surprised at what humanity has become in the intervening years; I wonder how humans would adapt to an underground lifestyle in 6,000 years.

      They call themselves Belters and are uncannily tall and lanky and speak in kind of a Creole mash-up accent and language

        Er, I suspect you’ve got that exactly backwards.

        They call themselves Dverger and are uncannily squat and heavily built and speak in a kind of German/Mongol mash-up accent and language.
