[Say hello to Peggy, sitting at a console with what looks like the designs of a Fire Sector suite in the background. For the tech savvy, the console address is traceable to Steve Rogers.]
I hope those displaced from the Earth Sector fire have found a place to stay until the suites can be rebuilt or new homes. Fortunately, it looks as if the damage was contained before it spread too far. I think this situation is exactly the sort of thing a council for us ‘foreigners’ would be good for, and I mean in the sense of checking the damages, injuries, and helping people find temporary lodgings.
[Not necessarily hunting down perpetrators. And she has her suspicions on what might have started it, but that is not going out publicly. So on a different note!]
Though we can all understand the spoken word and each other here, I’ve found that’s not the case with the written. I’ve started making efforts to crack the kedan language, as it were, but there’s very little to help along these lines. Picking up words on signs is one thing, but a grasp of the grammar and structure is another.
Has anyone else been trying to do the same? I’m not sure much more will be possible unless we find the kedan version of a Rosetta Stone, to be honest.

I've been trying to decipher the kedan language, but I'm afraid I haven't made much progress. Maybe if we could find a kedan willing to write down specific phrases, make our own Rosetta Stone... Of course, that would require trusting them to write down exactly what we ask them to.

Yes, that's been a concern of mine as well. I'm sure some of the kedan are willing, but there's still a chance whomever asked might lie. And a mistake early on would ruin the entire understanding of the written language. I'm not sure I'm willing to risk that with the effort.

A computer might have more luck cracking the translation than us anyway. If I can talk the right people into writing a program, assuming the technology here can even run that sort of thing... [ By which she means: if I can persuade and/or bully Tony Stark into actually being helpful... ]

That technology is a bit more than I'm familiar with, but if you think it'd have better luck, I'd say go for it. What sort of people do you have in mind?
