Important to note, there are no bumpy head aliens. We've met sentient mold colonies, Factors. We've found remnants of something spider-like on some of the Exoplanets. Xenolinguistics is a tough field.
ARGONAUT Scientific progress can be a two-edged sword. The fact that the argonauts embrace both the wonder and the dangers of new technologies and work towards their responsible use is one of the reasons you joined up.

I'm using my gift with languages to serve as a jumped-up tourist guide for scientists, politicians, and businessmen visiting Argonaut installations from points distant.
I've studied enough chemistry that they'll let me near things which shouldn't be jostled vigorously, but otherwise--I'm still making it easier for important people to travel where and how they want.
I'm aggressively Service Industry material. Extrovert, remember?
Okay, I need three more packages to make up my PP quota.
Extropian: "You are an anarchistic supporter of the free market and private property. You oppose government and favor a system where security and legal matters are handled by private competitors. Whether you consider yourself an anarch-capitalist or a mutualist (a difference only other Extropians can figure out), you occupy a middle-ground between the hypercorps and autonomists, dealing with both yet trusted by neither.
You serve on 1d10 missions and pick up some new skills. Replace a 1 PP Focus, Faction, or Customization package you acquired in Step 10 with the Explorer package at 1 PP (p. 32).
You step through a gate and arrive somewhere other than you expected. Your jaunt is adventurous, but you make it back safe. Gain +10 Profession: Gatecrashing skill.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PERSON.
You KILLED YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY WITH A CUSTOMS ERROR.
> Hi, I'm an independently wealthy anarchist scientist with a kinky sex satellite orbiting Venus. I killed my entire family with a customs error when I was 16, and sometimes I brood about that. Recently I gave up escorting when I fell in love with one of my clients, who turns out to be a super-spy and now she wants me to help her secret organisation fight space zombies!
