Closing the last document she'd pulled up to read on stone masonry, Sakura sighed. She was pretty sure she had everything in place to start on repairs to the damage she'd caused, even if she wasn't sure there was anyone on ship who had a vested interest in caring. If it felt right to her to help remake what she'd unintentionally made a crater in the middle of, then she would remake the damn wall.
If it wasn't a project she'd ever tackled before. Would she have to end up scavenging much stone? Last time she was out there, she thought most of it would be salvageable...
She sat back in her chair, biting her lower lip. In China, the Chinese spoke Chinese. She'd looked all that up, learning in process of learning the history behind the wall. All of this reminded her of something else, and the reason she'd taken part of the wall out in the first place.
Were Hispanics then part of Hispania? They spoke Spanish, apparently, but weren't part of Spain. A search for what countries on Earth spoke Spanish landed her a laundry list, while searching for Hispanic once again landed her back where she started: the Iberian Peninsula.
She was doing something wrong, and chasing her tail in circles over an answer that didn't really matter was starting to drive her up a wall. Figuring out one person's country of origin shouldn't be this hard -- if she did ignore that she hadn't outright asked. Or she had, but then his answer hadn't made any sense. What kind of recourse did she even --
Sakura's eyes lit on her omnicomm. There's always that possibility, she thought to herself. Ask and see what general knowledge can do for you. She pulled it closer, hesitating, and then shrugging past her own reservations. Asking shouldn't hurt. She'd rather try and learn from anyone more willing to be forthright with her than pull teeth on someone who wouldn't. Typing into her omnicomm, she was only partly aware of anyone else moving around this portion of the media library around her. To those from any of the Earth's represented on ship...
[ ooc: Asking on the Comm here. Sakura hasn't twigged to nationality and race being separate (or that race is something to be self aware of), and is still trying to figure out what countries count as Hispanic Territories to explain how one can identify as "Hispanic/Half-Hispanic" and yet not tell her where their dual citizenship might potentially lie, when Spain isn't one of them. ]
