Welll, I suppose it doesn't matter if I hide it or not anymore, since the RP changed drastically from the original draft.

The humans were the ancients.

Thay're just gone, and the relics left behind are their stuff. SO I guess the [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AliensSpeakingEnglish]aliens indeed do speak English[/url]. As far as some altered form goes... I suppose a couple of survivors might have made it but for all intents and purposes, their civilization would have been reduced to a stone age. So unless the alterations somehow allowed them to repopulate and rebuild in ten thousand years what took a couple hundred millenia on the first try, I'd be inclined to say no. But if you get a spark, run it by me in a PM or I'll try to pop up in #aftermath.
