I love how he gets to the last thing he can hear to realise the octopus is talking to him XD
How big is this place that all their little habitats have artificial skies and somewhere else in the structure there's weather O_O
Is the octopus embarrassed by their name or were they having trouble translating it into a concept easy for the human (who is also an animal XD) to understand?
Third-last thing. XD
The station is big. Personal habitats are generally three rooms. The public zone, the private zone, and the garden zone [as part of a citizen's responsibility to aid in the air recycling system]. This can include mod cons like artificial views that are more or less screens where the views should be.
The rest of the station can have large places. Amalgam Station has Big Tree Park, which contains a multi-storey flakk-off-huge tree that could rival a skyscraper in height and a central business district in width. Amongst other plants, walkways, and so forth. Small shock that that space has its own weather.
Spaces like that are worth commenting on when it's a space station. Respite Station includes some really wide spaces because some there in therapy are very concerned about small spaces.
As for Coral... She's actually translating her name into a more GalStand meaning than the less-pronounceable version of her language.
That's what I thought was happening when Coral paused before giving a name XD
