Ah, Alice! I'd forgotten you were residing here. So, where did we land on the me-turning-you-into-a-kumquat idea?
"We drink water, like most other carbon-based life forms. Drinking liquid ammonia would not likely kill an Armiistaan, but it would certainly be unpleasant."
I didn't mean to offend you by saying Cassia looked better as a kumquat, I just like kumquats. Anyway I can make it up to you?
"That would be unwise. I can dismiss the first as innocent banter. To do it again would be an intentional insult."
Hmm. What if I were to turn Cassia back into a kumquat, then say she looked better as an Alternian Troll? Would that be acceptable?
"While I can do 'cool flips' quite easily, I try to avoid going underwater. Armiistaans cannot swim."
"The Matriarch is an intergalactic warship of uncommon size and incredible power. To pilot her while intoxicated would be incredibly irresponsible. ... Okay, once. But it was an emergency!"
"The Matriarch, as is the case with most Armiistaan vessels, is powered by a small star contained within a pocket dimension aboard the ship. The living space that I share with Cassia is located near the bridge, for the sake of convenience"
On politics. Your stance on the current power struggle between the Artronians and the Torrinians? Or has it been resolved, or is it yet to begin? I don't know, time travel is confusing.
"It is foolhardy. Neither side has the resources or technology necessary to become an important player in galactic politics, and while they fight a war of attrition, it is only their own people who suffer."
