Abstract
"In Unison" is a short science fiction story that touches on themes of language, linguistic assimilationism, and "soft" linguistic imperialism. The human citizens of a habitat orbiting a distant star discover that they have been cut off from Earth, and are forced to reckon with the imminent arrival of their new alien masters. On the day of the aliens' arrival, the habitat is shocked to find that their new overlords seem to want nothing but peace, prosperity, and beautiful song.
