[public video;]

[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.

[she’s not worried about it being hacked, but she’s not interested in attempting to publicly ping someone for a one-on-one conversation either.] Favrielle, I’d like to commission you once more. Would you prefer discussion in person?

[And then text;]

[written in German, because testing the feature:] If you can understand this, please respond.

[It's good practice aw yeah. Continued German, unless otherwise noted!]

It would be easier if we could one hundred percent trust in the kedan, too. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't seem to resemble any languages that anyone is familiar with from their own worlds.

Why wouldn't we trust them? They don't seem to have any reasons to lie to us about their language. And if they do lie to us it should be easier to notice the translations don't add up in the long run.

There's people coming from plenty of different worlds and some like you and I know more than one language. Maybe it isn't like anything we've encountered but we'll manage. I'm sure.

It's wise to be cautious. There are a lot of things they don't want to share, and language that cannot be read may help that.

I do think that pooling resources and sharing what we might learn is useful, though. People learn in different ways, and thus may pick up on different facets of the grammar before someone else.

I guess it would make sense if we assume they have something they want to hide from us. And seeing how little we have been told ever since we appeared it's obvious they do.

[He feels really bad about being so distrustful.]

All we can do is translate as much as we can and try to understand the basics. I know a couple of languages so if you need someone to help you with this project I'll be happy to.

When most gets classified as the 'Emperor's business' and then the Emperor doesn't even answer, it leaves that impression. I've even heard certain information in the Emperor's library is lost, after a point.

[Peggy is used to it.]

I know a few myself, but I would still appreciate all help that could be given.

I have learned many language over the years and traveling around. I'd like to help as much as possible.

Thank you. I'm sure that will be useful.

What others do you know, if I may ask?

[For her own curiosity of the variety and how it may impact the learning.]

[Oh dear. He tries to be as vague as possible.]

I know a few Germanic languages, some Romance ones, a few Arabic and a couple of Asian ones, mainly mandarin and Japanese. I'm guessing the later ones will be the most useful ones right now.

That's quite impressive. I haven't had the opportunity or need to learn any Asian languages, which probably isn't helping me here.

Thanks. I travel aboard quite a bit, languages were a necessity.

Never late to learn, if you wish to.

Necessity has been my primary motivation as well, though in a bit more than simple traveling.

No, it's not. I might one day.

I might not be the best teacher but if you do ever feel like learning, my door is open.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind, thank you. Though I imagine a name might help should I decide upon that.

Oh, that was rude of me. My apologies.

I'm Clark Kent.

It's quite all right. And it's a pleasure; I'm Peggy Carter.

[He finally switches to English.]

That's a pretty name. I look forward to talking with you again, Miss Carter.

[She'll do the same!]

Thank you; I'm rather fond of it myself. And likewise, Mr. Kent.
