@everyone | dated to when the creatures started showing up

Hey, so - head's up. Not sure what's going on here, but if anyone sees a weird looking animal, four legs, two little arms coming out of the chest?

Watch your wallet.

I'm serious. Those things steal your credits - or whatever you're using as currency here. No clue how they do it. I mean, they're not dangerous, they're just irritating.

They're from our neck of the universe. I think humans call them "shifty-looking cows".

That's it. PSA from the milky way.

I cannot be only one who read "shifty-looking cows" as something different.

[Shitty-looking cows? Perhaps if he wasn't reading this at 1am.]

Something crude and unflattering.

[A human curse? This guy sounds anything but human.]

Yes it is. But according to you, that word sounds like an apt description of their behaviour.

Dollars. Do they still have those in your neck of the woods?

Ah, I figured as much.

If mankind learned to collaborate and travel the outer reaches of space, a separate currency would be a barrier to trade. Dare I presume they use credits these days?


[Your days. Not his days. What is this future nonsense?]

[Four different species. Four different cultures. Four mindsets to pick apart.]

I imagine that took some effort. Not to mention humility. There is no shortage of conflict on my world when it comes to national currency.

People identify more with a face on a coin than each other. Strange but not unexpected.

[They're all just pathetic men aliens covered in blood.]

Well, it's not mine: but I imagine humanity is still a young species in your history. And elders are often frustrated when a youngster expects a seat at the table.

[Uh.]

I hope you realise I understood nothing of that.

Not that I am unwilling to learn but it's all new to me.

Yes it does.

For one, it offers plenty of food for thought. Space exploration is a dream back in my world. But mankind is loathe to explore what hides in his own shadow let alone the vast expanse of space.

Now, I won't bore you with questions again for a while. You know how it goes. I can only imagine how many have asked you to explain this a hundred times before.

Figuratively speaking.

But thank you for writing it so succicently.

Dr. Crane.

They have psychiatrists there, I hope? You'd be surprised how many people ask "What does that mean" more than "What do you do?"

Or even "Are you a doctor?"


[One can only imagine the sass and snark.]

Fascinating. Your experience of medicine must be different in all sorts of ways. If you're willing to answer questions I would love to hear your experiences.

Not right now perhaps but sometime soon?

Well, that's a pleasant surprise. I'm in the same place.

What a small world, indeed.

One of three places as I recall?

You were bound to meet someone else in Cadens eventually.
