Captain: It must be hard work getting useful information. How do you start communicating with people who are so different?
Jaiva: But that's exactly what surpises me! They aren't!...That is, they are. Obviously. But not as different as they should be! Even taking into account that our worlds are connected. These people have travelled Circle knows how far, and yet speak with them and what do I find? Similarities! Common ground! Even familiar words! We're obsessed with how strange the outworlders are, but what interests me is how strange they aren't!

You have new friends!"
