fightingbishie.livejournal.comSo recently Sheeana's babel fish teleported out of her ear, taking a good chunk of her inner ear with it while in a Spice/Force trance meditation thing. What if reintroducing Sheeana's babel fish into the main pool caused it to teach the other ones how to use the force, making them unusable? Then the station had to order a shipment of machine translators from the skirineen, putting them into debt?
It would make a nice segue into the convention planet plot where they have to earn money by promoting the propaganda show. Also there could be a big kerfluffle over reliance on machines.
