Will be stepping back into these space shoes very soon · 4:22am Apr 10th, 2013
Had some major delays, mostly related to life. I've determined that guitar is my instrument, so there goes fifteen to thirty minutes of my day right there. (As well as a good part of my money, as I have Guitar Acquisition Syndrome.)
On the inclusion of humans: for my sci-fi setting, and it applies to these here as well, humans are notable for only two things. First is that they're the bureaucratic jobbers of the galaxy. One day a backwater planet with primate evolved sentients was discovered, and the next they're having to yell at this weird monkey thing for a refund with the monkey thing demanding that they fill out a Form 35.D to send the complaint to his manager. The second is that they have modernized stringed instruments, probably due to their higher than average dexterity and cultural affinity.
Another note is that a human document is likely to be translated like this. The unicorn translation spell ends up translating to common, easily understood words, which gets really awkward for specialized terms that are not easily explained.
