You know, I'm not much good at talking about the spacier chapters. But I do have to say, freakin' finally.

Thank you!
…
I added a codex entry for Chapcter 32 post-hoc.
:
Languages and translators. Languages are naturally, very varied in the galaxy. Most species still have multiple languages in use, usually regionally or by clan or similar, but a common language used within the species—like English is for humans.
The translators nearly everyone has equipped are extremely powerful, having been in use and constant development for closer to two thousand years. They are perfectly capable of translating any languages they're programmed for with microsecond delays—essentially as well, or better, as a native speaker's brain can. These are used in the cases where there is no common language, or when a party feels they would be limited by their skill. The translators also emulate the speaker's voice, simplifying the experience, and by default modulate the actual foreign-language speech out from the stream going through the aurals. The only unsolved problem is that in a face-to-face conversation, the speaker's words will be out of sync with the speech. This can be disconcerting.
Partially for this reason, the Citadel established a common language early on. As the asari were the first species, and the salarians who came next were quick learners, the language chosen was the common tongue of the asari, Astran. It is used for all official and public communications, and widely used in everyday life. All Systems Alliance personnel learn Astran—in fact, most schools on Earth have begun teaching it as their second language in the decades after humans joined the galactic community.
Astran is from the Thessian republic of Astra. The name derives from the word for 'mountainous region' because Astra spreads along most of the significant highlands of Thessia. (Nos Astra, the capital of Illium, means something like 'the mountainous region which we built'.) The vast natural resources and shelter of Astra made it the biggest player in Thessian politics and economy, leading to the dominant role of its language.
Serran is the language of Serra, the republic in which the city of Serrice lies, and whence Liara T'Soni is from.

I’ve added the story on AO3, too, in case you should prefer to read there over FFN.
I’ll post it bit by bit there, though, so it’ll take a while to catch up to FFN.
…Speaking of, there’ll be a new chapter sometime today.

I was hoping to have a chapter up on Tuesday, but crunch time at work means I can cautiously target Thursday.

Hey all, lillitheris just sent me a message to let you know that the new chapter of Unity is out, and that due to a minor bit of banhammering, it's best if anyone who continues to be interested in this fic follow it using FFnet, AO3, Twitter, or Facebook.
Many thanks!
Many thanks!

She was banned? How come? 
Temporarily, I hope.

I'm sorry lillitheris but since you've been naughty enough to get banned I feel that I just cannot continue to read your fanfiction. ..... Ha! Psyche! Not enough banhammers in the world to keep me away ... stupid banhammers

Hello all. Due to (hopefully temporary) circumstances beyond lill's control, she cannot update this thread when new Chapters are posted. However, I have volunteered to do so on lill's behalf. There may be a small delay between the posting of new Chapters and the updating of this thread, as I don't check my Email frequently, but I'll do my best to keep the delays small.
Since lill's last update of this thread, Chapters 38, 39, 40, and 41 have been posted.

I apologize as always for the delays between lill's posting of a new Chapter and when I get around to checking my mail, but I'm doing my best to keep followers of the story updated.
And with that said, Chapter 44 is now up.
