Maybe this would all make perfect sense if Kyeo didn't have a head injury.

He is going to lie there and experience pain.

After a few minutes a woman - with fur and a long squirrel tail? - calls out to him in some unfamiliar language from the top of one of the nearby trees.

Definitely another thing that would make sense without a head injury. Or that he wouldn't be seeing at all without the head injury. He produces a confused grunting noise.

She nimbly drops to the railing, then to the path, and says something else then reaches down to poke an available extremity with her hand, slowly enough to let him object if he wants.

Object? Why? What possible objection could he have to a hallucinatory squirrel-woman touching his hand?

...Feeling it out a bit with a touch of green... Yeah, that's a concussion or something.

She raises a glass pendant to her mouth and talks for a while, then sits on the railing and waits.

At length, a grumpy-looking man with shiny white hair and a - large man with some kind of pig's face - come out. They gently place a stone disk on his chest and suddenly he can understand what they're saying.

"-Seems calm and stable, but I didn't want to risk making anything worse."

"Probably a good call," the grumpy man grouses. "Stranger, I'm a doctor. Can you understand me now?"

"Yes doctor," mumbles Kyeo.

"Good, good. You have a head injury. It doesn't seem life-threatening, but let's be careful and not agitate it. Nice and calm, yes? What's your name? Do you know how you got hurt or where you are?"

"Kyeo Sebe Luk. Ship to ship combat. No idea."

"-Okay, that's bad news. I haven't heard about any ship combat recently, but luckily you're almost certainly going to be fine. It'll just be a while healing up, brains are delicate."

The three carefully load him onto a cloth stretcher and then carry him while the doctor keeps up a gentle patter of questions and reassuring mumbles. What kind of ship? Any comrades or wreckage they should look for? Anywhere they should send the news of his survival?

They load him into a wood-frame wagon. The doctor stays with him and gives him a green-colored chalky pill and something faintly sweet to drink, the other two stay behind. The wagon's rolling is remarkably smooth and his pain should be receding slowly.

"The ship is the Five Virtues, it's a patrol cruiser. I didn't think we were even near a planet... tell Ibyabek if you can tell Ibyabek..."

...Well, they're on the planet for sure. He must be confused. 

They take him from the wagon into a wooden building and settle him into a hospital bed. Though... Without much recognizable equipment. There's things that might be hospital equipment around, but they're all very weird.

They'll send the news if they can. He should just rest for now, and he'll feel much better in the morning.

This will all make so much more sense when he has less brain damage probably. He sleeps.

In the morning his head no longer hurts, but the room is still very weird. He still has the stone disk from yesterday.

He's gonna... keep lying there... and look at the stone disk, see what the heck that's about.

There's a bright blue material embedded in it in complicated patterns. Might be some sort of circuit? It definitely looks more like metal than plastic.

Oh, and the squiggles at the top definitely mean 'disk of understanding - Kelosian'.

Squiggles, you say.

They're characters in a language, but they're not Ibyabekian characters. And yet he can understand them.

Are they Kularan? He can read Kularan.

They're not Kularan either. This part looks kind of like something from Kularan, but not really, and it's definitely part of the compound character for 'understand'.

That is incredibly fucking mysterious but he is still pretty injured so he is going to just lie there about it.

The moon is visible through his window. It's brown.

In the morning there is a knock on the door and a pause of a few seconds before a woman wearing green-colored scrubs enters. She is completely bald, and has dark skin and bright green eyes.

"Good morning, I'm a nurse here - Sessa. You're Kyeo Sebe Luk, right? Is there a short name you'd prefer? And how are you feeling this morning?"

"Kyeo. The pain is much better. Where am I?"

"Oh, good! This town is called Gale Rocks, and the nation is known as White Forest. We split off from Kelos a few years back. I saw a note saying you're from 'Ibyabek'- It looks like we don't have records of such a place unfortunately, and we haven't found any wreckage or other sign of your ship either. It doesn't help that 'five virtues' is just about the most generic name possible, unfortunately."

"What planet?"
