So, the meta of the music translations I occasionally do aside, I hesitate to put this one out there out of fear that it would be considered disrespectful both to the artist and to the people he commemorates in the song. The fiftieth anniversary of the original event - the mysterious loss of SS...

And then there's this. Y'all need not stand unless you really feel like it. HORKRAKH'DADIYAIKIK RABU'I [THING-MODEL-HONOR]-DECORATED WITH-STARS THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER LE'I LEDEK RAS WORDS-WRITTEN BY LYRICS BY K'DYMGA'QITH THAMER AKTHANIN TERRAN'HRA FREE-PERSON LAND-GLOOM ISLAND-SMALL...

So after impressing my son with the translation of the previous song that-shall-not-be-named-again-in-his-Highness's-presence-on-pain-of-disembowelment, he challenged me to do yet another translation. Thrakhath was quite reluctant at first but brightened when he saw that I had given him a song...

Almost certainly, though I'm not aware of where any have been written down...I'll have to ask Thrakhath about it.

While I'm at it, here's a more localized carol. Anybody who happens to know anything about the State of Oklahoma might recognize it. (Thrakhath assures me that this is still airing in the 27th Century, and is now being sung in the original Kilrathi.) GARGA'GATHLESHKI'JAQDYAPA, B. K...

Okay, y'all. I owe every last one of you an apology, not just for the thread necromancy itself, but the reason behind it. You see, my eldest kid dared me to...... Well, y'all will see. Grief counseling will be made available later (at my eldest kid's expense). (Incidentally, Thrakhath took one...

Odd to see a Veloxi operating in the Terran Confederation...I was pretty sure they inhabited a different set of space lanes. Shows what I know...

No, haven't come out with any new materials for it since finishing Vespus. The campaign setting portion of Elegy is fairly complete but I never actualy finished writing it. Spent the last decade getting more experienced as a TTRPG player and GM, and I've realized that what I had written there...

You should look for connections with the actors that were in the games/movie as a category too. For example: Oscar had Elizabeth Barondes (Panther from WC4) playing a role in it. Just a thought if you're planning on expanding the pool a bit. (I enjoyed watching Oscar - one of the few attempts...

IIRC, the only other female Kilrathi you ever see is Zu'kara (Thrakhath's sister) in the cartoons, who has pink fur for some reason... The only other Kilrathi female I can think of anywhere in the cannon is Hassa, the Sivaran priestess in Freedom Flight. (Head canon is that she's the same...

Well, it could be because the Rapier had its origin with another IP, I suppose. I'm not the expert there, though...

...I mean, I would go with the Rapier, but they did go with the Scimitar for the cartoon. I suppose you could make the arguement that the Rapier wasn't in service at that point, but then you have to explain all the later ships you see in it.

^^^ That's actually all three stones; the Sunstone on the bottom, the Moonstone in the center, the Worldstone on top. Been a hot minute since I've played that game. There were three branches: one where you could team up with Sophia, one where Indy went alone to work out puzzles, and one where...

I thought it was the other way around - the lockdown years count as decades...

That happened before the pandemic though...
