[There's a click and Jack's voice comes on from, seemingly, a little bit away from the SFC.]

I'm thinking I might do this more often..play these songs. There are some people here not from Earth so they haven't heard the songs and nearly everyone from that planet wasn't alive at the time these songs came out anyway.

Besides, when you have a record player, you don't keep the sounds it makes to yourself; record players produce the best sounds in my opinion.

Anyway, if any of you are familiar with Bing Crosby...real sweet guy. Quite a looker, too.

[He goes quiet but soon the emptiness is filled with the sound of a record playing and a song goes out on the SFC.]

But I thought that Earth was a lot more than forty years old, even if it's still a purrty young purrlanet?!

Oh, it's much older than 40 years. 'The 40's' refers to the years 1940 to 1949.When I left the Earth was in the year 2011, but it's much older than that as well.

Besides, I mainly just meant for the music the humans made.

Ohh, okay, okay, I see! I apurrlogize, I don't know furry much about it at all, but it's always great to learn more!

No need to apologize! I know far too much, I don't mind answering questions.

I've got lots and lots of questions! Uhmmm actually so many I'm not furry sure where to start now.

Well...start with whichever one you think you'd like to know the answer to most.

What are human quadrants like?!? Lily was expurrlaining it a bit to me but it was all so confusing and complicated! I think I understood some of the things wrong.

'Quadrants?' Do you mean relationships? I think I remember seeing that post... They're the same as any other, I suppose. You have parents and offspring that make up the main family and then other 'branches' that make up the other relations.

...has anyone ever given you the tree analogy?

Yes, that's right! Relationships! ...but that doesn't sound the same as ours at all! We don't have purrents or families or anything like that!

No, no, they haven't. What is it?

You don't have anyone who you're related to? No one you share, genetic, similarities with?

It looks like this. It's called a tree because it makes a tree shape with the more distant relations acting as 'branches.' [He sends her this picture.]

Nuh uh! Not like humans do at least! Trolls all share a few similarities with each other and a bit more if they have the same blood colour but that's about it! We live on our own after we've pupated and our lusus looks afurter us.

Uhm. That looks furry confusingd! Ours is more like...wait a minute.

Here, like this! [She sends over this drawing. Good luck figuring it out, Jack.]

Oh, except me and my furrends weren't hatched like that, we were cloned in a lab and sent back through time on meteors, yup yup.
