I hope no one minds answering this: What languages did you speak or write back in your world/galaxy/universe/etc? If you have the time, could you also write out the alphabet of the languages you know and attach a picture of them in your reply?

I recently found out that a language I know matches up with someone else's, and we aren't even from the same galaxy. It could be interesting to see if any others are the same. I don't know if this information will be useful later on, but I'm going to keep a record of it all just in case.

I'll send a copy of the file to anyone who wants it later. Thanks.

[ A curious project. She might want that file, so she'll contribute. ]

English. Farsi. German. Spanish.

How many languages have you collected?
indigo5a: (windblown)

It's also called Persian. Mostly spoken in Iran or Afghanistan. If those places mean anything to you.

[ And look, she'll helpfully attach the alphabet for you. ]

Sure, send them my way.

I take it you're from Earth, then? Or a version of it.
indigo5a: (pretty)

no worries!

Maybe no odder than spaceships and anomalies.

[ Oddness is a relative thing, she finds. Up until she arrived here, the strangest thing to happen to her was calling an all-seeing artificial intelligence her boss.

She examines the file with interest, particularly the languages that are clearly alien. ]


Thanks.
indigo5a: (nope)

Nope. Or aliens. Earth had enough of its own issues already.

Are you a linguist or something?

[ Shaw is good at languages. She mostly picked them up out of necessity, for the job. She might have to do it again, out here. ]

I don't know. First time in space. We haven't imploded yet, which I guess is good. I'd like to know more about where we're headed.

No idea.

[ Not for lack of trying, though.

But if there's one thing she knows, it's that people don't act out of pure benevolence. There are some exceptions, like Finch. But those are rare. And even he was a sneaky bastard sometimes. ]


Everyone's gotta want something.

[ She has a feeling even private communications aren't totally private, but Shaw's from a place where everyone was watched. She doesn't bother to voice this opinion, though. ]

You mean aside from the amazing jobs they give us?

[ Perhaps you can hear her sarcasm through text? But more to the point: ]

Who knows. Makes more sense that they'd have some aim than floating around the universe for no apparent reason.

No.

[ And just because he's the public face of this ship, it doesn't mean he actually exists. Shaw intends to find out, one way or the other. ]

The bridge is off limits, at least for now. I assume if there is a captain, he's there.

[ Which only means she has to try harder to break in. This might be a tech issue. Root might have some ideas. ]
