Lasper said to Jo and Zack, “Well, thank you. You two have been very helpful.” Putting his hand to the side of his head to mimic phone calling, Zack said, “You’re so welcome! And I want to say, talking to that alien on the phone was fascinating by-the-way. The communication frequency patterns are like nothing I’ve ever seen, and I’m still working on algorithm analytics for the alien voice. So cool.” Zack pointed at Lasper and Val and he said, “Wait! Oh my god! You’re aliens! Right! I need to record your voices to analyze them as well… wait a second. How come you’re speaking english?” Lasper said, “Language lessons.” Val said, “Fake teeth.” Holding up a portable hard drive, Zack said, ‘And don’t worry about the info getting into the wrong hands. I haven’t made any other copies or put them on any network. They’re all just here in this hard drive.” Lasper pulled out a device which emanated a directed glow towards the hard drive, bzzrp! Lasper said, “Sata erased. Now I’m definitely not worried about it getting into the wrong hands.” Disappointed, Zack said, “Dick move, but I can’t argue with your logic.”

SOMEBODY has to keep a dark planet dark! Lasper’s doing the right thing, avoiding the wrong hands. Now if we could only do something about the wrong heads, too…
Well, Zack, what were you thinking bringing that topic up and showing off the hard drive? It’s like you begged for it.
Thought that they spoke their own language, and other heard it in their native language due to everybody having a translator chip.
The chip can be installed with a gun, so that might have happened. But if these two have the chip, won’t they suddenly hear animals talking? We’ve seen coyotes and kangaroos, other will exist. Plus humans suddenly speaking perfect english.
They could’ve done that, but, they didn’t. See: https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2025/08/27/082725-tooth-caps/
