Continuing the theme of Chirans meeting new people in silly ways, here's, the Chiran meeting with the goat-people of Omar, which was a slightly nervous young goat-lady bringing a tray of tea to a surprised Chiran crew building one of the six heavy-duty ring-cranes to assemble a naval base.

Omar is a peaceful pre-industrial anarchist society of goat-people on an island in the Kythen Ocean, on the edge of the Sea of Clouds. Omar is the island's name in Etrusean, parsed from a word that ends with a goat bleat (O-maaaaah) which is why the name of the place is a surname from Garam. Omar goats are know for their kindness and adventurous spirit and are great explorers, with traders sailing to distant ports to trade locally-made wares for things they can't make themselves; even in modern times, their pretty wooden sailing ships will sometimes come to Etrusea or Aludra to trade silks and pottery for things like medicines and solar panels, since they prefer to not be totally dependant on Chira (it makes them feel like bad friends).

By contrast, at this point in history (some years after the Battle of Laurent Abyss) the Chirans didn't actually know the island of Mirrai existed yet and hadn't really bothered to check if Omar was inhabited before starting construction of a naval base there. This was about the point they started doing that.

Being a stateless society that's always been that way, Omar have some difficulty getting their heads around the idea of a country (how could so many people all agree on the same things?) and the goat here assumed whoever seemed to be directing everyone was the person whose idea all of this was, so she could sit down and have some tea and discuss things. Discussing things over tea is the traditional Omar way of solving problems, and she was hopeful foreigners wouldn't be that different. Um...the big thing was yellow, that's a nice, jaunty colour...?

Leafcutter Dragonflies (now present) are almost as adorably silly as Spotted Silk Moths; one of them has already befriended one of the Chiran excavator drivers. Omar Silk Moths have red undersides to their lower set of wings which they think are unfeasibly terrifying and will try to avoid showing to people they like. Also there are some trilobites investigating the hook if you look closely
