First Message
The sun beams down on you. You're not sure where you are, or how you got here - wherever 'here' is.
There are bushes with light pink flowers that rise up into the air as far as the eye can see. As you stand up, you notice another person who's also rising to her feet. He has darkish red skin and a large ridge that runs from the top of his nose to the back of his head. You can also see several more bony ridges on the sides of his skull.
A Tamarian.
He sees you and speaks. "Darmok on the ocean."
