The Great Queen HS2023

“They are nothing more than mere hairless apes that have a propensity to wage war and kill each other for any perceived insult or threat; they will be perfect for our plans,” was First Breeder's reply to his Royal Queen.

The Queen studied the information that had been gathered on this target species for her review and was satisfied that First Breeder was correct in his assessment of this galactic outer arm species.

“What will we call this race,” was her only question ?

“They call themselves Human,” Great Queen.

Her mandrills clacked as she tried to form the word “human” with he mouth parts. She finally succeeded in making a sound that came out as a hiss of Hue-Mon. Verbalization was never easy when trying to pronounce a different species language.

“Have we coded one of our translators to decipher their language,” the Great Queen asked?

First Breeder's antenna drooped from their normal erect posture in the Queen's presence as he said, “ Great Queen there is a problem as they do not have one universal language but instead have many home spun regional languages. We have managed to install only 7 of their many languages from intercepted radio transmissions but we do estimate we have achieved at least a 79% accuracy rate with two of their languages.”

“How Primitive they truly are,” was the Great Queens only reply.

Nice one, 727Sky.

I found the Queen's frustration with the language highly amusing.

To alien species trying to interpret our lingos... Good luck with that!

I think that is very much akin to how we might be judged by the "others" out there. We are primitive creatures with powerful toys. Good job!

Wonderful
