Path book 1 Jane

The most amazing thing is that he differs from a human being only by a slightly different knee structure, and by his feet, which have only four toes. Like humans, there are five fingers on his hands, and his face looks more like an elf from fairy tales, with light lilac glowing eyes and pointed tips of ears. It's idiotic to make aliens three-fingered! Try to hold the rifle with three fingers and shoot at the same time. Igrodels suck! And his fingers, just like a pianist's, are long and flexible. And there are steel claws on the gloves of the skaf. At first I didn't understand why, I thought it was a weapon, until I saw how it worked on the toolbox. There are two times fewer buttons there than my father's, and twice as many buttons themselves. I once asked my dad how cool Uncle Tael's omny tool was, and he just rolled his eyes.

They sang a round dance and pulled me to the table, there is a cake. I saw through the window how his mother brought him and put him on the veranda of the group. A hefty cake, by the way, though, for twenty-one children's mouthfuls — in one bite. A hefty pot of compote was brought here from the dining room. And here, as it turned out, neither Turians nor Quarians have any dextroamines. And the blood of all races, without exception, is red, differing only in shades and composition. Of course, all races have dietary restrictions. So my cake is universal, suitable for all races ... which, alas, does not add to its taste.

Chapter 2.1

That reminds me! One day Uncle Duck came to visit us with his family: his wife and three children. His eldest sons are the same age as my older brothers, and since we are also neighbors, they are bosom friends, and all the mischief in the village is the work of my brothers and their Turian friends, plus Dr. Ray's daughters, as it turned out, are also our neighbors. Her name is Rayan T'rann. Uncle Duck's wife's name is Kaadi, and she's a former soldier of the Black Watch, an incredibly cool woman. So, when they all came to us for the first time, my younger brother turned exactly one year old.

The first thing that caught my eye was that the Turians have FIVE fingers on their hands, not four. When I was stunned to see this miracle and, confused with excitement, asked Duck about it, the answer amazed me... In fact, male Turians also have five fingers on their hands, just the ring finger and the little finger fused together. It happened in some very ancient times, when the Turians on Palaven still lived in trees. Men mostly hunted, usually on the surface. It is impossible to determine when the mutation occurred, but the four-toed ones gained an advantage in hunting due to a stronger grip, according to the theory. Nobody knows what really happened.

The women did not come down from the trees and were mainly engaged in gathering. Therefore, women still have five fingers and toes, the fingers themselves are much longer and more mobile than men, although the foot itself is smaller. The foot of the Turians looks amazing. As far as I have seen Nain in the pool and in the pictures on the net, four fingers are looking forward, and the index and little fingers are almost the same size, thick, with powerful sharp claws, the middle and ring fingers are much shorter and with flat thick nails! The thumb is turned back, and in men, by and large, it has completely atrophied, turning into a heel. But for women, although in a heavily stripped-down version, it has been preserved, and Turians can firmly grasp a pliable surface like a tree with their foot, and even hang upside down without any harm or consequences for themselves.
