Gurf asked Picknar, Thoos, Knox, Rodrigo, and Purrloin, "can you understand me now?" Knox said, "oh. You speak english?" Picknar rolled their eyes and said, "the translator chip implants a language chip in the wernicke area of your cerebral cortex. It allows you to understand all galactic languages. You'll still be speaking your native tongue. But since everyone has these chips in them, we can all converse with one another." Knox said, "so, every idiot alien I run into knows I can understand them, even if they're from a different planet?" Picknar said, "exactly." Knox sat down next to Rodrigo, and Rodrigo said, "that's too bad, Knox. All those years of not studying a foreign language are now all for naught." Knox said, "and when we go back to earth, the non-chipped people at the Mexican restaurants still won't be able to understand my order, but yet I'll understand them complaining about us."
