"Some files exceed the archive size limit and weren't saved" has appeared on some zip folders I wanna download, which surprised me.
English isn't my first language, will there be a way to view these zip folders at a later date or am I just stuck unable to access these files?
"My core processors and entire body are streamlined and minmaxxed for maximum efficiency, battery life, and ability to hide a lot of hidden weaponry.
My shields can resist 20 minutes of medium blaster heavy fire at 200 meters.
My outer shell is made to mimic the most violent species known as Humans.
I can process data faster than any flesh mind.
Aliens have spent over 10 years trying to comprehend my cyberwarfare software and hardware.
Why am I stuck giving you coffee every 5 hours and spending the rest of the time cleaning the lab"
I say expressing my displeasure working for this Human Scientist aboard the AUS Helsreach, an Expeditionary Carrier Dreadnaught.
My current employer is a Human known as Himeko, she is a rather tall human female, red hair and a penchant for making coffee so bad it can actually damage my people's electronics, which can resist heavy industrial acid.
The fact a Human can fail making a beverage made specifically for her species is an anomaly I have tried to fathom to the point of actually giving up.
"It's cause your coffee is perfect, I never get tired of it" She says, with a genuine smile that radiates so much purity I mistake it for Larinthian Hetite, a very popular superconductor.
I look at Himeko again "And the cleaning up of the lab?"
Her smile fades as she refuses to look me in my optic sensors "W-well, you clean so fast I never have the chance to"
Her logic is technically correct, fleshbags tend to be terrible compared to us machines when it comes to finishing a task that requires speed.
By most normal circumstances, I could easily quit, and yet the fact she always says please and thank you to me and knowing what it means in their culture, is something I cannot really fathom to hold against her.
I check her files, sort the documents, and prepare another cup, as a prank I make it decaf, something I picked up from Humans.
Voyages are long, entertainment can be sparse, so a decaf prank is hardly a crime.
Though Himeko will chew me out for making her sleep.
It takes no less than 20 minutes after her cup for the caffeine to wear off and she is out like a light.
I pick her up, strip her, clothe her in her bunny onesie pajamas and put her in her sleeping bag and then put the sleeping bag on her bed, why? She moves alot in her sleep and I cannot bother my sister and her boss in the medical room for gauze and bandages again.
I return to cleaning her lab, I sort the documents a 2nd time for brevity and to burn time.
I realize a small side project, something Humans do to occupy time that isn't their job. Never made much sense to me, why occupy your mind away from your job to focus on your job?
Enter her password which is the name of her favorite student's nickname back in the AUS academy "Tuna" and I find a perplexing discovery.
She made a taste module, to be specific a universal taste module, meaning units like me and my siblings on this ship can somewhat "taste" things the way a fleshbag would.
It's sadly in the experimental design phase and can only attain liquids.
I find it useless until I spot the sticky note in the bottom corner.
"Senti made me coffee again, then again she makes me coffee everyday, I want to share the experience of having a drink with her, non-alcoholic of course"
.....I will remake my normal reports of working with Humans.
Starting with "At least they are thankful for the work we do together"
Lets say the SOs find ancient texts that basically cover 2 things.
the culture their Primarch GF references.
The origins of their names.
Imagine finding out one of their names translated to ancient Terra is just "Raven Raven".
Or that they basically run Space Rome.
Being late does a lot of things, you miss on stuff, important information given at the beginning, but Humans somehow turn it into a funny experience.
Especially blue-collar Humans.
No they do not classify themselves with literal collars, they wear them for decorative or to show they are "owned" by their significant other.
I Mean my friend Rikkar was late for his job at a mining facility on our planet's asteroid field.
His Human crew members hit him with the combo of:
"Hey part timer"
"Forgot you worked here"
"Half Day, huh?
"Night Shift's here early, fellas"
"Thought you quit 2 weeks ago"
"Early for Tomorrow, ain't ya?"
And when he got pissed after a night drinking with them, went to work early, and was hit with
"Employee of the month here, boys"
"Pulling an all nighter I see"
"Did the wife kick you out?"
"Bring breakfast with ya?"
"CEO Material"
In Galactic history, specifically omnivores, vegetables and fruits tended to be the popular choice of meal during the medieval era due to how they are easy to harvest and be immediately eaten after some basic washing and cooking.
Humans.....Humans were the opposite, they are omnivores, but most of the time the crops they grew at home during their ancient history was to FEED ANIMALS THEY EAT.
Granted this isn't unique, come the time where mass animal farming was standardized it became no issue to get meat, but Humans happened the opposite way.
They would grow vegetables like corn and tomatoes to feed their cows, chickens, and pigs.
This fattened them up where they would be slaughtered to put in the smokehouse to preserve and add flavor.
Most species cut out the animal from the equation and just ate crop instead to save time.
This might sound unique to humans but it perfectly makes sense when you realize THEY ORIGINATE FROM A DEATH WORLD.
Not a normal death world where its one super hostile climate like you read in fictional books.
I mean a world that supports many hostile climates that make no sense to host SAPIENT life.
They had to deal with more bad harvests than any other species, they had to deal with food becoming scarce and needing ANYTHING for calories.
Note that for Humans, in their ancient history, FRESH VEGETABLES, were a LUXURY.
Fruit even moreso.
Now look at Humans in the intergalactic era.
Their children refuse to eat vegetables when it was the epitome of wealth over 3 millenia ago, preferring Dino Nuggies.
Lets say each Primarch played since day 1 of D1 and joined D2 day 1, how would they react?
Humans are known for many things, one of note is their constant carrying of a foldable metal chair.
This serves 3 purposes.
Humans despite being medium sized, are actually the shortest medium size species in the Federation.
Meaning to access a lot of things they need a platform to help them reach.
Humans like to sit down and relax, this means that tables or establishments catered to Humans require no seats, just a really good appropriately sized table.
finally, Humans don't have natural weapons, a unique trait is that Humans have mastered equipped weapons, but they always carry a metal chair.
So they have something to help them reach stuff, sit down and relax or think, and to whack you over the head should you try to cut them off in line for morning coffee.
