Description

What, a splash of backstory? The Unforgiveable Years were the Atomic Doomday War Times that all science fiction is obligated to have, so I kicked it into the distant past, because I'm more interested in what people do with the world after they've saved it.

Yes, Tal skipped the Aquaan half of 'tell me no one thinks that', partly because they're talking more about entomorphs, partly because he doesn't want to get into, 'so, I'm from this xenophobic culture and my family are bigots ...' ( Speaking of, Tal using random emphasis is less straight-up sarcasm and more doing an impression of his dad. He's not consciously imitating Tallifens, just that's the voice Tal associates with 'overt bigot'. Tal would not do well in Mark Trail. )

I like how Tal's hand goes up, all pontificate-y, when he's inadvertently impersonating his father. Clearly overt bigots declaim their prejudices instead of just letting slip that they think if you can't talk human, you can't even start to think about hoping to be as good as a human.
