"We were put in a situation where we had to." answered Fish. "A group of our researchers were sent with Ira the Glyphos A to turn her over to *insert the prison's name here*. But the prison was attacked when they arrived, by Krakkurik pirates. One of the researchers was a Stitcher, that is, an intelligent viral-ish lifeform. It is their custom and allowed by our laws for them to reproduce within non-law-abiding individuals that attack with the intent to kill law-abiding persons. So now there are a great number of Stitcher-Krakkuriks." "... Well I sincerely hope their personalities have improved, then." This was the best he could manage in response to that story. "They are still developing and have personalities typical for a youngling." Fish replied. "Er... mostly. I am unused to teaching that it is bad to eat other people's pets. Or each other... Ah, Rith! If you would stay a little while, I could see about fitting a translator for your Trallyr head and programing it with a few of the languages you might encounter." "Oh thank Ranumgen." said Rith. "Oirdz, you can go if you want to. I'll be heading back to Silver's tonight." |

"Well, you could offer moral support or company or drill me on things I will need to know when we go to your homeworld." |

"Sure, why not. You can talk to me in your language to make sure it works." "If that's alright I can oblige." Fish led them to a room Caslon happened to be working in. She looked up from her current project as Fish explained what they needed to her. She measured Rith's head and projected the model of a typical Scracian translator over her, modifying it to the new shape. When she was satisfied she set up a time bubble around herself. From the outside her movements with the holographic blueprint whirled by- on occasion she would stop the bubble to check her model against Rith's head. Rith seemed both fascinated and depressed as she watched Caslon work. " I used to do that." she whispered. When Caslon was finished she sent the design the a 3D printer, setting a time bubble on that as well. When it was finished, she secured it to Rith. "Good?" |

He watched the process with interest. "Used to be an engineer. An okay one, decent enough. Then I was stranded on a barbaric and primitive planet for 13 years." "Please say that using the translator," instructed Caslon. Rith repeated her sentence in Trallyrean. |

"Please say that using the translator," instructed Caslon. Rith repeated her sentence in Trallyrean. "I never would have guessed. Not to say you aren't intelligent enough, but your current occupation is quite different." He nodded, listening to the second version. "That sounds fine." |

Caslon said before going back to working on her previous project. Rith stood up to leave. "Ah, wait, Silver will need one too. And a power source. Maybe an electric Pokemon? No, Silver doesn't know how to handle them, so maybe a Neopian pet. Or batteries. Don't know how long this will take... And what the Trallyr think of pets. Oirdz, any wisdom to lay down?" |

Some trallyr keep Eoi which I guess you'd call a pet. it's not opposed." |

"What voltage do the Trallyr use? Will I be able to charge my tablet? Do you even use plugs, or are you wireless like the Rinamians?" |

"That solves some problems, I have a converter plug for wireless. How should we dress? Do you have anywhere in mind for us to stay, or do we look for something when we get there?" |
