learning new words about old concepts

It happens. There's all sorts of different people and cultures here so you never know what words translate or that exist at all.

done this before ?

All the time! Back home we ran into all sorts of aliens and it was our duty to help bridge the gap between human and not-human.

aliens are from 'space'

did you make many journeys to space ? is it far ?

[ They have only a vague understanding of what 'space' is, but by god, they are trying. It's a faraway place that's not the sky, the sea, or the land! Which is, to their credit...technically true. ]

[thegoofball]

I lived in space. On a ship, really, but out there in the stars. It was pretty far from here, and I don't know what space would be like here, if there's even a way to explore it.
