Marion, I appreciate the reminder, but I think everyone would agree that what’s happening at the artifact site is rather more significant than seminars and committee meetings.
Be that as it may, those seminars and committee meetings pay the bill. We do not have the resources for you, much less the entire Interstellar Studies Program, to remain on planet for a full year.
Esmeralda is a frontier planet with no academy, and you are a Xenolinguistics Professor. Unless you possess some faculty for hospitality or construction, I am skeptical about your prospects here, Silas.
Reminder: The ship’s intercom system is for emergency announcements and operational communications only. It is not an appropriate platform for practicing dramatic monologues.
