[This text post comes after a few hours of radio silence following Dirk's first messages.]
Surprise, I survived.
"I told you so" etc etc.
Turns out the locals are pretty chill, all things considered.
I've learned their language and they have accepted me as one of their own.
By which I mean I'm cooling my heels in one of their longhouses for the rest of the night after they explained their whole Lost-adjacent dogma to me.
And I learned some shit you folks will probably be interested to hear about, judging by the fat wad of nothing y'all were able to tell me.
Key takeaways:
One, this particular group of natives speaks Morse code.
Tongue clicks for dots and hums for dashes.
Might wanna brush up on it if you don't feel like getting speared should you have a run-in with them.
And two, the people responsible for whatever this is are somewhere to the southeast, presumably on another island.

You didn't answer my other question, by the way. American or International?

Translating to English, of course, but who knows whether that part's going through any kind of auto-translate.

I think I've already fulfilled my quota of Morse translation for the day.
And if you wanna interrogate the people with spears on the legitimacy of their creation myth's claims, be my guest.

...Nah! ]
Excuse me? I apologize, but I'm not sure what I've done to upset you. These are valid questions. You're already there to ask them. I'm not.

Until he remembers he's talking to someone who's likely very young, anyway. Ugh. Teenagers. ]
Knowing why they chose Morse to base their language on helps us out, if that's something we can get an answer to. Same w knowing how long they've been here, how many generations.
Find out if you can.

[Sure there were guards and whatnot but he was also told he could just tell someone if he needed to leave. It feels more like the guards are just there in case the complete stranger they let in turns out to be dangerous or something.]
