Who: Marhi Ohsi and YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Outside the Huntress...? Good luck.
When: Current.

[ When the video comes on, it shows a woman of blue skin and unusual garb: She's currently dressed in one of the space suits, tethered safely to the outside of the ship. It is not her first time in strange places, but never has she travelled so deep into the abyss of the sky that the very air is torn from one's lungs.

In her clumsy, gloved hands is a fishing rod. Well, technically a fishing rod. It is a child's plastic toy, bright neon pink with a thick grip, and the bait is nothing more than a chubby, smiling plastic fish. Not to be used under the age of two and beware the risk of swallowing,

Still, Marhi casts it into space with the eyes and the ease of a master fisher. Somehow she's even managed to catch some small, metal space junk and rocks, shoved into the makeshift bag of her coat. ]

... That's right, you have that weird language superpower. Hey, does that work both ways?

What do you mean?

I haven't started yet because I was trying to work around that problem. But if you can speak any language, can you write in any language as well?

Yes. I am blessed by the "weird language superpower", and with that all tongues become my mother tongue.

I see.

The augment did introduce a new language that I can read and write, so I was just going to use that, but there might be some interesting ways we can use that power of yours, too.

I would be most eager to make use of my talents before I die of sloth.

Well, first let's get this guide done in the Folkspeak thing. Then we can play with the limits of that power. If we could figure out a way to change that around, so you can send messages the Atroma don't get, that would be something huge.

So be it. But a guide of this magnitude must be taken from the knowledge of all.

That's the plan, yeah. I was going to ask around with our communicators for more information.

A list of common questions might serve as a worthy start. "Where am I?" "Why?" "Who shall I be with?"

'What implant' is kind of a distressingly common one, too.

"How?" "Why?" "When?" "Where?" "What?"

I'll start writing a draft sometime soon. Should I call you to take a look once I've made some progress?

I will fish until then. If there is aught of use, I will bring it home that we both might glance at it - After Margie's judgement.

"Margie"?

[guess who never met roe friend]

Margarine Detemps is wise in the ways of ore -- if not gil -- and is a friend of my home.

... Right. Including space metal?
