We had gathered around a simulated fire in our holochamber. There were a number of us sharing traditional campfire songs from our various worlds, a trend so common among the galaxy you could almost compare it to eating. A lot of them were, upon reflection, the sort of things sung to children but we felt they were special to us. When it was the human's turn, a man named Sam, I was most curious what he would play. To my surprise it was a war song.
"In May of Nineteen Forty-one the war had just begun.
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns.
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the seas.
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees."
Bare in mind the forest around the nine of us shifted to a simulacrum of an earth forest for his song. We had a good sense of an Earth tree's size.
I don't recall all the rest of the song but I do recall Chikal asking where Sam had learned it and the resulting answer. His father. His own spawner taught him how to play and sing a song about maritime warfare. I now understand the ways humans frighten a number of other inductee species.
