“The finer graphemes would’ve been visible only to individuals with a fully developed eye—i.e., not the peasant class, given nutritional deficiencies. Hell of a way to keep your general population illiterate.”
To translate an alien language is to know something of that alien’s mind. This premise has fascinated you for all of your academic life. As a xenolinguistics consultant with a rep among the argonauts, multiple gatecrashing expeditions have only strengthened the fascination. Almost all of the alien languages so far discovered are dead, so you’ve also trained as a xenoarcheologist. Much of your time is spent with inscriptions, decaying alien written material, and the rare sample of actual recorded media. As a field scientist, you prefer small, nimble morphs—the better to explore hard-to-reach places in ruins and evade native megafauna.
