[Good afternoon Luceti, today you'll hear music coming from your journals. What music exactly? Frederic playing his Impromptu No. 1 in A flat, Op. 29 to be precise. Once he's finished playing, he goes towards his journal and speaks up. Since he has a few things to say to everyone.]Good day everyone. I know the school year has ended, but I am still ( Read more... )

[Oh, it's Mr. Chopin - Robert hasn't spoken to him in a long time, but after being entirely avoidant of the journals for a week or so, he's missing conversing with other people. And this is an interesting question.]

"Emotion" and "life"...

Well, Mr. Chopin, those are very... abstract concepts, are they not? [For someone who studies non-Terran life-forms, "life" is an important definition to have. ... "Emotion"? Not quite so easy for Robert, whose social-cue reading skills are impaired at best, to discern.]

Are you looking for my definition, or... an a-analysis?

[He starts calming down a little, trying to not sound peeved.]

Please excuse my outburst then, as long as you are not saying his existence as a person, human or non-human does not matter then I can allow things to become water under the bridge for us. I've already told you I have a great love for my country and I will not tolerate those who insult him, hence why I got rather peeved about it if you wish for me to be frank.

[Robert mentally reminds himself to be extremely careful with his wording in future, because clearly Chopin needs specific details.] Not at all. I would be... a d-disgrace as an astrobiologist if I felt that way, about any sapient species. [Not to mention he'd be besmirching his partner's name...] In fact, non-human sapient rights are... incredibly important to me, for various reasons.

... I apologize for giving any impression of barbarianism.

[He softly sighs and then continues to calm himself down, since the other clearly wishes to apologize.] As far as I am concerned though, to me, Poland is a human as is Mister Honda. Though they may not be human in the sense that science knows humans as, they are still people in appearance and have flesh along with blood as humans do. I cannot see them as anything else and I'd like to hope you understand that.

I suppose you are free to... consider them whatever species you would wish. There are many non-human hominid sapients I have met in Luceti - ones that externally look almost entirely human, but are nonetheless apparently not. It is... fascinating. [And a little confusing, at times. Robert really wishes he could do willing DNA samples from them as comparisons.]

I wonder how exactly these sorts of situations come about? One would think that other planets would not have hominids...
