One tip: Just a suggestion. If you did want to go deeper-level on the psychology/sociology of this, this meta post states that you would be able to tag it hard-science. If you wanted to do biological stuff, I'm sure that would get good answers too. Either way I'd recommend using the Sandbox.

"I pull back and wait, my bodies across the galaxy all going towards a new destination. A new purpose. The final goal.
Time to destroy Terra. They might recover their force, but they will never recover their spirit.
Humans. So sentimental.
So heartless.
So unpredictable.
Am I predictable?
Will they guess? See me coming?
I hope not.
I descend from every corner of the universe."

I'm only about 1/3-1/2 of the way done with the first draft of Harmony 3, but I did figure out a good blurb, so here it is.

@MonicaCellio No problem, thanks for getting it up. I updated it with a cover image and then added the link to the first story (and vice versa.)

@Andy The papa/papá thing that's starred->

@Andy another thing. Apply-er does work, but so does applier. So you could be an "applier of sarcasm."

Also. Carné=ID, carne=meat
FoxElemental

So, um . . be careful

But Papá can also refer to the Pope

Therefore: My father has 47 years (is forty-seven years old.) vs My potato has 47 anuses

papa=potato papá=father

I'm sure there's more.

And, um . . "Como éstas" means "[I] eat these." "¿Como estás?" means "How are [you]?"
FoxElemental
Sep 11, 2018 13:50
@AndyD273 Well, be careful. This might not apply to German, but in Spanish you can make some grave mistakes: "Mi papá tiene cuarenta y siete años" is a regular statements. But "Mi papa tiene cuarenta y siete anos" will get you some strange looks . . .

Aaaa. Do I need more feedback on my sandbox draft (the language one), or am I just obsessive/paranoid/perfectionist?

Who'd have thought that a Stradivari-era Cremona violin would be of such interest to a chemist?

@AzorAhai I see your point; thanks for the feedback. It's no problem for me to edit it out.
FoxElemental
Sep 6, 2018 12:39
@AzorAhai I did have a longer list as to why it was hard to learn (in the Sandbox) but edited it out for length. I'll add that back in when I can
FoxElemental
Sep 6, 2018 12:39
@RonJohn I agree. Sadly, I felt that the full background was necessary so as to explain constraints, make the situation seem a little more realistic, and give detail as to the languages. But I'll work on a TL;DR for some of the individual sections when I can.

@Ummdustry Yes. Old BC's people had a single language, and lost most of its knowledge of other languages after journeying to the place where New BC and LC are.
