Name: Raznek<br/>Species: Ichthoid<br/>Location:  Safe Room terminal<br/>Tagging:  Senna<br/><br/>...SPECIES IDENTIFIED...<br/><br/>...FILE INCOMPLETE...<br/><br/>Pebbled lips formed the approximation of a frown.  Fleshy, almost fin-like finger extended to tap the screen.  Aside from some very basic statistics, the monitor refused to display anything further about this newcomer.<br/><br/>"Recording five-oh-three-alpha," the creature rasped, then reclined in his seat to watch the small display.  His charge merely sat there, as uncomprehending this time as when the first message had been spun.<br/><br/>"List related dialects," he prompted the screen, but was discouraged almost immediately by flashing line of text.  ..NO RELATED DIALECTS FOUND..<br/><br/>"Fine," he sighed.  "Activate universal translator."<br/><br/>He waited for the initial greeting to play through, then leaned forward and cued another screen with a brush of loosely jointed digits.  "Run language adapter program."<br/><br/>It was always so challenging when something unknown, or close to it, passed through.  Reznek sighed again, adjusting the collar at his neck, which held in place small tanks fastened over his gills.  He'd have to take a few minutes here to discover some basic information, which probably changed very little over the years, just to record her native language.  Just so some linguist could analyze and attempt to reproduce it.<br/><br/>"Traveler, please state your name, age, and place of origin for the record."
