Dispatch 17: Lingvo Universala

Explicit

Language is pretty cool, if you think about it. We (humans?) have built it up as a tool from simple monosyllabic grunts into elaborate systems of communication with double meanings, deep meanings, and hidden meanings. The question is, is it inevitable that we all end up speaking one language in the end? Or is the likely outcome something both more simple and more complex, and we end up speaking universally through "AI" assisted tools that allow for real time translation? How will this be affected by first contact with an alien species (assuming that hasn't already happened)?
