Summary: It's those cultural misunderstandings that will get you. AKA the Library of Alexandria planet one, with concubine tea.
Recommendation: This was so good. Just the thought of part of the Library of Alexandria surviving is wow, a big deal to me a library worker for twenty years. All sorts of cool. It is also illustrative of how language depends to very heavily on cultural context for meaning, because things get a little misunderstood. It was nice that the "aliens" realized what a big mistake they had made and felt sorry about it, but still. Thankfully, Daniel and Jack are able to sort themselves out according to their own standards.
Recommendation #2,636
