[ daylight laughs and nods in agreement, optics twinkling as he remembers his grandma. ]
Grandma wasn't an average person. She participated in the Shadow Wars. [ right- wouldn't know any of this- ] The Shadow Wars happened around the 2020s or 2030s. It was humans' attempts to push back against these two factions who hailed from my dad's species because, where I'm from, Earth and other places got dragged into the two group's battles with the other. It wasn't pretty.
But my grandma, and others like her, didn't give in that easily. She was part of a codebreaking group that was not only trying to decrypt the ciphers the factions were using but learn their languages at the same time. She helped build human-sized versions of both factions' cipher machines despite having never seen it, using only documents and photos for references.
[ daylight looks nostalgic and proud as he speaks about his grandmother and her accomplishments, undeniably affectionate of her.
while she wasn't perfect - he's come to understand that none of his family were but they tried in the end for him. especially his grandma, who wanted to right some of her wrongs before she passed away. ]
