The orchid rose squad
Chapter 2, my mom told me to never speak to strangers

Dableybop jatope hnlom thto, good this data will be great for the stranger translator I’m working on. Hi my name is loral and I’m second in command in our squad, I’m also the other brain of the group, “snicker” hahaha ahh, but don’t tell anyone else I said that, they might take it the wrong way. So anyways like I said I’m currently working on a translator device for these creatures that we found, we decided to call them the strangers. The nicest things you’ll ever meet. We had just started scouting the area when I first laid eyes on one.

Loral, loral, I think we can slow down now, please loral your making me sick, “argh ack ack, and halisi starts to throw up”. Ewwww halisi that is gross why didn’t you say anything, ah that’s so gross. I tried to loral but you wouldn’t listen. That doesn’t matter you’re the one who did it so clean it. What. That’s right halisi, now I’m going ahead you can catch up when you’re done with that. You’re a jerk loral “looks left and right” loraaal “thinks too himself, she really left, sometimes I wonder why they paired her up with me”… “He starts yelling” wait a minute who does she think she is speaking to me like that I’m the leader of this squad. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Ddloo poplepople. Oh hi who are you. Jatope pople. Hmm I guess this is going to be a pretty one sided conversation, think loral think hmmm… “snap” I got it his language sounds a lot like the jerolos’s if I tune my translator to that I might get bits, and pieces of what he’s saying. Ddloo poplepople jatope pople hnlom gckpe “hello alien friend to our planet of cradle “static” fruit”. Hmm he’s probably asking if I want a fruit, yes I do “tlple “static”.
And that was how I first met the strangers, a couple of days later I finished my translator and communication between us became a lot easier. Stay tuned to hear about our first mission into the clockworks.
