Adam?
HELLO SAMUS--ARE YOU IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE
Adam, when was the last time it rained on this planet?
PLANETARY DATA INCOMPLETE--FINDINGS INCONCLUSIVE-- REQUEST AT A LATER DATE
....
[quiet sigh]
QUERY DETECTED--
No, Adam. No query presently.
[shuffling as Samus moves to where the journal is placed, the rest is written]
There have been no changes in the weather pattern - is this commonplace on this planet?

This world follows little in the way of universal laws.

[a small scribbled intricate symbol with a translation written sloppily out to the side: "nature abhors paradox"]
That is an inaccurate translation, but it is the best I can manage with the human tongue.

Your symbols are unlike any I have experienced before, and I was one who travelled galaxy upon galaxy. May I ask what system you are from?
no subject
[another intricate symbol is drawn on the page--this one is more detailed and is less a scribble than a piece of artwork--he obviously took his time drawing it, as if perhaps in pride and dignity]
There is no translation in the human tongue, nor have the humans discovered the area and given it their own name either, but that is the answer to your question.
no subject
I do not consider myself to be human, but I can understand how the complexities of one being's speech can be difficult or impossible to replicate through other tongues.
no subject
The Sangheili believe other languages to be very crude, especially the various human tongues. This idea, however, is probably true for most species.
[a small pause] ...Are you a
demonSpartan?no subject
Sangheili. From what I see, human speech and communication would seem quite crude indeed.
[slightly confused pause]
Not a Spartan, no. What are Spartans?
no subject
Sangheili is my own people's word for our race. The humans call us "Elites." While descriptively accurate, it lacks--what is the word?--elegance.
Spartans. The Sangheili translate this word into "demon" in our own language. They are a particularly hardy group of human-like warriors with fair greater abilities than normal humans. They also wear a set of armor similar to Sangheili in its technology--and your own suit in appearance.
no subject
Agreed. Sangheili does sound better.
I can't say I'm any demon, but my suit was constructed by a race that is now extinct.
Save for me[almost illegible]no subject
May I ask the name of this race?
no subject
But that was a bit of an anomaly, we're afraid~
