Extract 8 Your language is barbaric, but the crude code book you sent down made it easy for our scholars to decipher it. We, too, wonder about you. How have you overcome the problem of living in the deadly light? Our Legends tell of a race dwelling on the surface but intelligent reasoning has made us ridicule these old tales until now. We would still doubt that you are surface-dwellers except for the fact that our instruments show without question that the opening above us leads to the deadly light.

Answer 1

Here is my attempt at rewriting the start of Glar's letter in more informal language:

"Yo, your language suсks major balls but we easily cracked that beginner code book you sent down. We also got questions for you dudes. How y'all even alive in that deadly light? Legends tell of surface dwellers but we always thought that was made up till now. We'd still think y'all was trippin' if our machines didn't straight up prove that hole above us leads to that deadly light. The whack death ray y'all sent shows your science mad basic. It's worthless to us except as proof you aliens exist. We only paid you in gold to be polite. That bread food ain't cuttin' it for our digestion, but that meat is the bomb. We'll trade double gold for all the meat you can provide. Send more ASAP."
