"Yes, I know it is English! I know a lot of languages."

"Only English and French for me, though I have good translation software. Are you from the fourth Presger system originally?"

Permalink

"No."

Permalink

"Where are you from originally?"

Permalink

"That depends on what you mean."

Permalink

"I'm mostly interested in whether you are originally from Earth - though I'm curious what the other options are."

Permalink

"I have never been to Earth before."

Permalink

"Well, welcome to Earth in that case! How did you end up speaking English if you haven't been to Earth before?"

Permalink

"I have a lot of languages."

Permalink

"Hm, the part that's confusing me is how you specifically have English - since I don't know of any way someone not from our planet or otherwise nearby could have learned it given the lack of previous documented extraterrestrial contact."

Permalink

"I can imagine why that would be confusing."

Permalink

"Would you rather I not ask you so much about your situation right now?"

Permalink

"I don't rather that, but I don't know very much about my situation right now."

Permalink

"I can give you an overview of what I know if that might help?"

Permalink

"Yes please!"

"This is Earth, which is located around here," she says, bringing up relevant graphics on the monitor, "in the Milky Way. The year by our calendar is 2011. You are specifically located in the United States of America. Your outward appearance is of a human 20 to 30 years in age - where a year is 1/870th of the time it takes light to travel conventionally between our planet and Rigel."

"Several hundred thousand humans possess anomalous powers that vary wildly, though both teleporation and strange memory effects are plausible powers. I consider it plausible that you are such a human, though it's theoretically possible you could be from a different universe, a different time, or an alien civilization within our universe."

"Huh, I was two whole decades off! I thought it was maybe the 2030s. I am from an alien civilization but I do not know for sure if it is in just a different time or also a different universe."

Permalink

"It's possible my workshop looks ahead of my time? I have powers that help me with constructing advanced technology."

"I'm not entirely sure how I would check to see whether our universes differed - any historical events you remember that would have happened in the last couple of decades?"

Permalink

"No. Almost all of the historical records were lost. I only know the languages because the Presger were spying for a very long time for unrelated motives."

Permalink

"Huh. Do you know the word 'parahuman'?"

Permalink

"Only by decomposing it into roots."

Permalink

"Do you know other Earth languages?"

Permalink

"Yes, most of them."

Permalink

Dragon can provide parahuman related words in a bunch of different languages than to see if Rubelite knows them, as well as words that appear in Earth Aleph but not Earth Bet.

Permalink

"I do not think the Presger was aware of the phenomenon those words refer to."
