Welcome to Sandy Bum Canyon![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |

|
xs05050100_MSG0001_1 |
Aka Oblivia.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 3 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_2 |
Huh? \"Olivia?\" Friends really name it that?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 4 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_3 |
You know I said Oblivia.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 5 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_4 |
Linly, listen to Tatsu.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 6 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_5 |
This place always have sandstorms.[ST:n ]Sands get everywhere! Therefore:[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 7 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_6 |
Sandy Bum Canyon.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 8 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_7 |
Nopon ancestors name it just fine ages ago![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 9 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_8 |
Or does Linly think she better namer[ST:n ]than native Miran peoples?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 10 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_9 |
What? I...no.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 11 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_10 |
Good. Tatsu accept Linly apology and forgive.[ST:n ]...This time.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 12 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_11 |
|
| 13 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0001_12 |
Strange.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 14 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0002 |
There's nothing here.[ST:n ]It was hard to tell the scale of it from the grainy images,[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 15 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0003 |
but that ship should've at least been[ST:n ]big enough to spot from here.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 16 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0004 |
Hmm... Yeah...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 17 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0005 |
Huh? Elma, look—[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 18 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0006 |
Another new xeno species.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 19 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0007 |
Hang on, maybe I can pick up what they're saying.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 20 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0008 |
Impossible! I'm telling you, just us is impossible, okay?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 21 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0009 |
Stop talking like that, would you?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 22 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0010 |
We have to do this, right? For everyone back on the ship![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 23 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0011 |
But but but how are we supposed to destroy the turrets?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 24 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0012 |
The place is likely crawling with Ganglion, no?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 25 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0013 |
So they're not Ganglion, at least.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 26 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0014 |
Yeah. It sounded like they're fighting against them, to me.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 27 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0015 |
Friends, friends—Tatsu knows. Those are Ma-non.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 28 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0016 |
Ma-non appeared on Mira maybe...year before friends.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 29 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0017 |
|
| 30 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0018 |
I know that sound... What is it, Elma?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 31 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0019 |
Just...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 32 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0020 |
Tatsu, the Ganglion, and now these Ma-non...[ST:page p1=60 ]Don't you find it a little odd that[ST:n ]we can understand these alien languages?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 33 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0021 |
Huh...good point.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 34 |
|
xs05050100_JNK0010 |
Guess |
| 35 |
|
xs05050100_SEL0011 |
Suggest they learned our language. |
| 36 |
|
xs05050100_JNK0020 |
Hypothesize |
| 37 |
|
xs05050100_SEL0021 |
Suggest some device must be translating. |
| 38 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0022 |
I doubt it... Tatsu, did you study our language?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 39 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0023 |
Right? Must be something like that.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 40 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0024 |
But we haven't been using our comm devices[ST:n ]when we've been talking with Tatsu...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 41 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0025 |
Well, Tatsu is fluent...more or less.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 42 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0026 |
Tatsu, did you study our language?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 43 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0027 |
Friends' language?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 44 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0028 |
...What language are we speaking right now?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 45 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0029 |
What language? Nopon, of course![ST:n ]Friends' Nopon very good, by the way.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 46 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0030 |
See?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 47 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0031 |
Xenoforms have different anatomy, physiology—[ST:n ]different vocal setups in general.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 48 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0032 |
It seems likely they would struggle with our pronunciations.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 49 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0033 |
And yet, here we are, conversing.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 50 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0034 |
But if they can't even produce the sounds...[ST:n ]this shouldn't be possible.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 51 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0035 |
No, it shouldn't be.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 52 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0036 |
Unless...our words aren't being perceived as sounds at all.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 53 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0037 |
Maybe our intent is getting across some other way...[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 54 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0038 |
But how? ...Could it be something about this planet?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 55 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0039 |
Heh. Someone sounds pretty intrigued, huh.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 56 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0040 |
Well, what if it IS some kind of new phenomenon?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 57 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0041 |
Aren't you curious to learn more?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 58 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0042 |
All right, now you're starting to sound just like L.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 59 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0043 |
Okay, already! Friends talk less, help Ma-non more![ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 60 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0044 |
After all, Tatsu have reputation as heropon to uphold here! [ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 61 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0045 |
Suuure...right after a quick...snack.[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
| 62 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0046 |
[ST:wait ] |
| 63 |
|
xs05050100_MSG0047 |
I'm not sure how much we can help,[ST:n ]but we should at least make contact. Agreed?[ST:wait ][ST:n ] |
