There was a bit of silence after the bit where he said the word hate. "They heard that part didn't they? Of course they did. I think that the gods have fun weaving my fate in the wrong direction." He planted his thumb and forefinger against his temple and heaved a heavy sigh of frustration. Then the com opened up, basic translation was apparently coming through from their end. Fortunate enough, but it was still basic. The phonetic structures didn't quite match up between the two languages but there were some similarities.

"Nnnnd me fffrr solution. Ri na Gladius Dei Senechal Dou'far Klaast. Rude General of Angry Gorillas. Sunumi harken very restrained peso een donink pasen door." Another voice chimed in, the channel was too scrambled for LeeRoy to properly understand it. Damnation, that could be some kind of threat on his life being plotted out in the background and he would never know. Well. Not on his life, but more on his body's well being. And if the ship's destroyed then so is his backup cloned body.

'Still mostly gibberish to me.'

"Ex- Excuse me? Did you just say Rude General of Angry Gorillas? Are there gorillas in space?"

'I don't think tha-'

"He clearly said he's a general of angry gorillas!"

The com sounded once more like they were talking directly to him, so LeeRoy's attention returned to the camera. "I woad rat hair believe, LeeRoy, tharnoo ner merely a loser who Nessade distastes ung wants to leave." Another voice in the background, the same voice, started speaking to the clear leader again. Then the leader spoke to LeeRoy. "That won't please Nessade will it?"

"I'm a loser who Nessade distastes and wants to leave? Is Nessade your leader? Is this Nessade some kind of god-king? Take me to your leader, for I wish to do politics in a setting where the translators won't be bargain bin." LeeRoy stared at the keyboard in front of him, realizing that he should have spent the extra six hours actually constructing his translator while at port. But nooo, he had to try alien cuisine instead of spending time on something important. "If this Nessade has some kind of beef against me then I'd like to speak to him myself, maybe do some bargaining so I can get you guys a proper translator. Something that includes a few more phonetic structures."

'You're a god damned nerd.'

"You are correct."
