Got it.

I'd HOPE He wouldn't have a hand in this. It's more - "if God wills" is an Arabic figure of speech. [He hadn't expected it to be translated, so the more he knows..] The phrase has a heavier weight than in English - you indicate that you want it to happen only if it's important to all of mankind. In this case, when Atroma brings more people, because it's a when, that maybe I wouldn't be the only Muslim on board.

Then again, I don't think I'd wish this place on anybody.

Oh, I see. That makes sense, it's like "God willing" then?

[Just...translated slightly differently]

Text

[stefanged]

Yeah, that would be more accurate.

I didn't think "God willing" would get translated, but I guess not everyone here speaks English. [Or is fluent in multiple languages.]

[save_the_souls]

Not really. Really it's a good day if you find someone who can find England on a map.

One of the Vanquish's guys is from an island on the Channel, I think.

No one knows exactly where Jordan is, but I expected that. Most Americans kinda fail at world geography.

[ ! ]

Oh! You're from Jordan?

[stefanged]

Kind of. My grandparents live there, so I moved with my family to the capitol after the Invasion.

But I was born and raised in the US. Even though I'm not allowed to go back, I still consider it home.

[save_the_souls]

I see.

My last mission before I left Earth was in Jordan. I didn't get much time to exploration, but it's a beautiful country. I could see why you're so attached.

No kidding?? I'm glad you were able to go. It's changed a lot in the past couple of years, but it's become home for me too.

Sounds like you've been all over the place. Here, England, Jordan... I've traveled too. Just not to that extent yet.

Text

[save_the_souls]

Yeah, really!

Ha I'm from England, but yes- I've traveled most my life. It's on a bigger scale and the space part is different, but traveling place to place like this isn't all that unusual to me.

I was wondering! You know what they say about assuming, though...

That's pretty awesome! Outside of visiting my family, I haven't traveled as much as I'd like to. [Well, technically - his past life had moved every few years, and had settled in nearly every major city in the US.] Can't complain about that here, at least.
