Another question for you... In space no one can hear you scream. What's sign language for "Aaaargh, I have a xenomorph errupting from my chest"?Start with the back of the hand pressed against the chest, fingers pointing outward. Push the hand away from the chest as the fingers are wiggled in a tentacle-like fashion. A look of panic and extreme pain also helps to convey the sign for: "Aaaargh, I have a xenomorph erupting from my chest."
If the xenomorph is erupting from a different region of the anatomy, the hand may be placed and pushed forward from there.
If the creature is not a xenomorph, but rather a morph with which the person is familiar, replace the sign for xenomorph with the sign for that creature. For example, if a gerbil is erupting from your chest, place the back of the hand on the chest, make the sign for gerbil, and then push the hand out from the chest. Don't forget to convey the look of fear and panic. This is very important in order to signify an actual eruption of the creature, rather than a casual, relaxed escape.
AndyN also asks:
Does NASA train astronauts in sign language in case their comms fail?No, Andy. Now you are just being silly.
Meh. Damn my silliness.
