Episode 358: Translation
They opened boxes until they found a likely-looking substance. Laboriously, Hellman translated the symbols on it.
"Got it," he said. "It reads:�'Use Sniffners�The Better Abrasive.'"
"Doesn't sound edible," Casker said.
"I'm afraid not."
They found another, which read: vigroom! fill all your stomachs, and fill them right!
"What kind of animals do you suppose these Helgans were?" Casker asked.
Hellman shrugged his shoulders.
The next label took almost fifteen minutes to translate. It read: argosel makes your thudra all tizzy. contains thirty arps of ramstat pulz, for shell lubrication.
"There must be something here we can eat," Casker said with a note of desperation.
"I hope so," Hellman replied.
At the end of two hours, they were no closer. They had translated dozens of titles and sniffed so many substances that their olfactory senses had given up in disgust.
