[Uhura is on the porch today, surrounded by what looks like the insides of an old-fashioned transistor radio. She is utterly absorbed in messing about with the various wires and metal bits - she's been so busy with these experiments lately that she's kind of missed the fact that an experiment is going on.

After all, she can't see the thought bubbles if she doesn't even look up from her little wires.

Her current thoughts are full of wiring, circuitry and strange mathematical symbols, along with a smattering of other languages. There are some thoughts running by in English, though.

Like ((A signal boost would require a break in the barrier, but a break in the barrier would require a significant surge of power. What sort of power, is yet to be determined...))

Or ((Radio frequences are more than likely present, but I'd need to encrypt any messages and the likelihood of tampering is high...))

Or ((I wonder if Spock and Mal should meet...))]

Exactly. It's one of the reasons why, where I come from, if a civilization hasn't reached a certain level of technological advancement, we leave them alone. It's the law.

Civilization? What's that?

lololol!

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

It's, you know. Just another word for a society or culture. Like Greek or Roman civilization.

Oh! I get it.

Do you run into a lot o different ones?

All the time. It's part of my job.
