Nice of the aliens to speak English to each other so the humans who aren't supposed to be there can understand

You know that thing where you have to use a character to relay something that happened off screen or in the past, but instead of having them talk like a person you have them talk like written prose?
No reason.

I played bass for Fibrous Canal in college

Half "called it" and half "You're right I should go pick up Shards of Earth again and read the sequels"

I dunno, I'm sure there's Future Etiquette about what you say about someone else's augments/upgrades/modifications but I feel like if someone's appearance is going to be startling to your new crew member from the ancient past, and that someone is sensitive about how people react to them, you should maybe actually explain what the new person should expect instead of just "hey be cool".
