Sebastian was amazed at how much progress they were making. He still felt odd at not having found a proper name for these aliens. When the Captain came in, Sebastian was surprised when the Captain announced they had eight hours to make progress. Then an idea hit him: these people were classified as warriors or apex predators within their society. Sebastian remembered his xenobiology class that size mattered in the animal kingdom.
Sebastian instructed the computer to narrow the search for more common words, words like Hot, Cold, Left, Right, Good, Bad. As every culture had those words in common, the house on the right, the door on the left. Be careful it’s hot, dress warm, it's cold outside, the collaboration between his musical theory and A'kilees's algorithmic filtering unlocked the secondary data drives within the black box, answering Amila and Gath's questions about the civilization's history and their ship's capabilities, but he wasn’t sure if that took into account things like stellar drift, did the ship sling shot around planets, worm holes and other subspace anomalies. There were so many unanswered questions about these people and so little time to answer them
“Captain, if we are going to utilize the holodeck to gain more information, May I suggest that we exaggerate your image, project that you are bigger more imposing than you are, They are warriors so they would expect an imposing figure, we could alter your image to a larger more muscular physique, maybe add a few scars As I’m sure you know Captain, Many mammals—including bears, lions, and great apes—use physical and behavioral posturing to inflate their perceived size and intimidate threats. Instead of physically filling with air like a pufferfish, these animals stand on their hind legs, fluff their fur, and alter their posture to appear much more formidable and ward off attacks.” Stated Sebastian.
Sebastian, you idiot, you just implied that the Captain looks weak and underdeveloped.
Sebastian's face was turning red as he realized he had put his foot in his mouth. " Captain, that’s not to say that you are not physically intimidating; I’m just saying make you look more intimidating. Not that you are intimidating, in a bad way.” Stammered Sebastian,
Sebastian wanted to crawl under his workstation. He just hoped and prayed that the Captain understood what he was trying to say and not think he was being disrespectful, or rude.
“In fact Captain, we could create a holographic overlay of the alien’s outer appearance and superimpose it on you. You know, convince them that you are one of them. You could explain to them that you are their Superior, that their mission has changed, or whatever.” Suggest Sebastian.
