Dictation x03 - [Audio]

[The curious phenomenon of the memory sharing has not gone unnoticed by Rosen. Of course he understands the concept of 'God' events and realizes his poking might lead to little more than a 'it's the gods' answer but he still feels he'll be remiss if he misses this opportunity]

I am looking for volunteers who might be willing to let me observe them in relation to this...uh...this 'memory sharing'. Of course this would require that whoever volunteers be alright with the possibility of their memories being seen.

[A pause to clear his throat before he proceeds again]

I can assure you the purpose of my research is not to get any personal information about you so the content of your memories is of little interest to me, but still it will likely be unavoidable.  

Anyway. If you are interested please let me know.

[It's not an invalid distinction to make where Rosen's world is concerned. After all it could not be said that other species did not communicate, not could it be said that humans were entirely unaware of other species' methods of communicating, and for all he knew there is an alpha out there who could perhaps bridge that gap....

...but for the time being the wide range of communications among non-human species remain primarily incompatible with human communication]

The different methods of communication do not translate beyond a vague guess of what the other species is trying to convey. For example a human may understand that another creature is displaying anger, or fear, but there is no ability to communicate in any more detailed or meaningful way at this time.

[Connor's getting the impression that maybe he's talking about highly intelligent animals like gorillas and dolphins, rather than the sort of situation there is here, which would make sense.]

I understand.
