Chapter 27: Odratis

“Oh, hey, this is cool,” Jesse Fergus came up, and taking in the stars around them, put his hand on his daughter’s shoulder. “Hey, Vesta.”

Vesta turned to find her father handing her a small, white object.

“I’ll have to figure out how to fit it in your helmet, but it’s a type of translator. I helped the crew down there work on this, and we agreed that you should have the first one.”

Vesta turned it over in her hand, “How does it work?”

“Put it here…” her father gently raised the object and curled it around his daughter’s ear.

“Hey, where’s mine?” Tanner looked at his father accusingly.

Jesse turned, “Your sister needs to know what people are saying around here. Yours is coming. Why don’t you come downstairs and help me with it?”

“Alright!” Tanner grinned at his sister and waved at Rolet in thanks before heading down the hall with his father.
