As the disease sweeps through earth, people's ability to communicate with each other vanishes. The lack of communication prevents people from constructing and maintaining a fully functioning society, so services that were once well-established like public transport are now defunct. ]]> 2021-11-26 20:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914824096 veroperez0322 https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914826074 As Rydra tries to make her way through the California streets, she realizes the signs are no longer making sense.]]> 2021-11-26 20:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914826074 veroperez0322 https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914837228 (In this scenario, Obsidian has not yet died.)]]> 2021-11-26 21:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914837228 veroperez0322 https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914840649 2021-11-26 21:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914840649 veroperez0322 https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914849570 Rye wonders whether the solutions implemented to combat the effects of Babel-17 could be used to cure the pandemic back at home. Could they invent a sort of counter-pandemic that overrides the current one?]]> 2021-11-26 21:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914849570 veroperez0322 https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914854824 Mocky (left) tells Rye of the galactic linguistic warfare between the Alliance and the Invaders. She has a tough time grasping that a language can change someone's behavior without their knowledge, and even explains to Mocky that on Earth, alterations of communicative ability are viewed as the result of a biological disease rather than a change of perception unknowingly learned by those who are exposed to a new language. ]]> 2021-11-26 21:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914854824 veroperez0322 https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914857299 If the pandemic she has been affected by is similar to Babel-17—not merely biological but also reality-altering—then Rye wonders if Mocky's renowned work as a psychologist can help her regain her lost reading and writing skills. ]]> 2021-11-26 21:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/veroperez0322/s3af11bocs9dc4nj/wish/1914857299
