Day 3
Quinn. That was its name, apparently. I was aware that other species and cultures sometimes gave their people individual titles (some after maturing, some at birth or hatching), which they were called by by others. "Humans" seemed to be no exception. It differed from my own species, which called each other by their titles, usually relating to their profession. Younglings were called by their parents‘ title added to "Young". I was simply "mechanic", both to my crew and to my own species.
When I arrived in the meal hall, there was no sign of the "human". I decided against questioning it, and instead focused on finding out more about "humans". I concluded asking my fellow crewmates could not be the worst idea. And I was, once again, correct.
None of them were able to tell me much about the Terrans, as I had expected, but I could gather some information. Dorag told me that they were omnivores, and could even eat an amount of plants that were poisonous to most of the other species populating their planet, without further complications. But he also reported to me that their stomach acids were strong enough to dissolve metals, so I have decided that his account can not be trusted until there is actual proof to support it.
Kaxzlang told me that he had heard that they had more than one set of teeth, one pair during their youth that falls out and grow back stronger upon maturing. This was a more credible report, since a lot of species that undergo a similar process exist. Wrin informed me that they thought they had heard "a while back" that human bites can be lethal to most species and even their own, but I must add that Wrin is not the most credible source there is, since they spend most of the time intoxicated.
Although the most interesting report was from Uhngfjôd. Hoj reported that "humans" were not disabled by the removal of a limb and would continue moving and fighting if necessary. If you wanted to fatally incapacitate a "human", you should always aim for the head. Obviously, this is an astounding information, and I do carry a fair amount of doubt regarding it, but hoj swore by han honour, that hoj had seen it with han own eyes, and it is well known across the galaxy that for hoj species, the Fanglavads, maintaining their honour and keeping their word is of highest priority.
I have made it my mission to investigate all of these claims to see if there is any truth behind them. Furthermore, I will continue observing the human to the best of my ability.
I did not come across the human during the remaining cycle, but I will make my best efforts to seek out contact with it. All new acquired information will be reported and documented here.

oh so i finished watching the 2016 gold medal game today [i watched the first half like 3 weeks ago or something]
tell me why their outfits were paper thin? also they were drenched in a way that they weren't in 2021 or 2024
they weren't wrong when talking about the loose bun on the live
there were ... a lot of turnovers
it's funny that 2016 was dubbed both the "uconn bias" team and "the best team ever" [by different people] ... coincidentally it was the one geno coached
the usa basically shot a 58/58/58 game [techincally it was 58.6 fg / 60 3fg / 58.8 ft]
29 assists on 41 field goals

Hi!! The first time I read Let Me Try, I had a lil moment of culture shock after reading that Nathan's hometown was both across the country AND four hours away. I actually went hunting through the chapters to make sure I had read it right before realising like, I'm Australian, I'm the outlier here. And now it makes me smile every time I reread, like its an inside joke between me and the story. It's a bit silly, but I thought you might enjoy it too 😅
Yeahh I mean, it's a bit wild when thinking about it. It takes four hours for Nat to cross the whole country to his home town, but in four hours he could also be all the way across europe depending on where he starts off lmao, just europe things! :')
I'm having a culture shock thinking about driving four hours just to still basically be in the same city/area hahaha xx

i just think it’s targeted & malicious that mitch lost his record point streak against the rangers and they prevented his 100th point all in the same season. what do the rangers have against pretty girls with kind smiles?
