I understand. Good luck!

Also, if you don't mind, I would like to interact with the Namilee rather early on in the RP, mainly because they are my favorite race thus far and I think I like them almost as much as my own

@Hael

Hael is picking favorites I see, just like my mother.

It's a string isn't it?

It's always a damn string.

@Hael

How the hell did you know?

Well, that isn't something the Namilee would have prepared yet, though it probably WILL become a part of their stealth technology eventually. But they haven't been hunted by bloodhounds or anything like that, though they certainly know there are predators that rely on their sense of smell...

Also, I should make it clear that this stealth technology only applies to them on a personal level. Their ships can't just POOF. At least, I don't think I wrote it that way, and if I did I'll change it so their ships can't just go invisible.

Their camouflage exists solely to help their people survive on the surface of planets/moons/asteroids.

@Shorticus

You know what else they hadn't prepared for? Being invaded by the X'Cor

Well at least you aren't a good enough stalker to realize LAUDER IS MALE.

<Snipped quote by Shorticus>

You might want to make sure the camouflaging tech masks scent as well since the Mabronnans have noses to rival bloodhounds.

The Mabronnans would certainly be startled by a sudden appearance. However, it would increase their curiosity greatly and lower the predatory instincts. It is highly unlikely the Mabronnans would be immediately hostile unless somehow angered.

@Mardox

Stop spreading false facts. Chaegonian scum.

xD She told me she was in highschool! It's not my fault @Lauder can't keep her mouth shut about personal details

@Hael

You know less about me than you know Hael.

You're younger than I am, Lauder.

@Hael

You don't know that...

I think you may have missed the post I just tagged you in.

Universal translators are allowed, just not fast ones that can translate automatically. The machine should take days or weeks to learn the new language, and can only translate it after it has been learned.

@Hael

Damn you kids and your fast typing!

@Hael

I can agree with you on OP and such, but unrealistic is something I do happen to disagree with. While it may not be a perfect universal translator, with one language blueberries is a noun and the other may be a verb, I believe it could be developed in the end. Regardless, you are the GM and I must obey, though there will be some sort of translations system going through my empire to help communications between slaves and their X'Cor masters. Plus body language is a valid thing, little differences here and there, yet all mean just about the same things.

Back to the olden forms of communication to a foreign species I suppose, shoot the shit out of it until it dies

Are universal translators a thing, then?

If they are, and if the Namilee were invaded by the X'Cor, wouldn't that have exposed them to the concept? And then they might actually possess universal translators themselves.

@Shorticus

Hael has not said anything, or noticed, it in my form so I assumed that it was fine.

It could have, but I believe the Namilee had more pressing issues to worry, such as the X'Cor military fleet going after them hardcore. However, your face did communicate, even uplifted, civilizations so it could very well be a thing for your people.

True, the respect part might have to suffice first. The Mabronnans would be understanding of a cultural difference regarding the symbolic gift. Communication barriers would be tricky though. Unless Haelamera is giving us all a common language, then we have to find a way to make the Mabronnans' first impression of the Namilee is not just "They smell delicious."

@Mardox

<Snipped quote by Mardox>

Noted, but the Namilee won't know about that at first. They won't understand they're expected to present a gift, and they'll have to breach the communication barriers between themselves and your species.

@Shorticus

I so happen to have universal translators

It makes sense for my Empire since I have to communicate with the slaves on a day-to-day basis and some of them may not have the ability to speak like a X'Cor
