[Tropical Resort. Amber is just finishing fixing his Wringster Energetic's translator function. Zane returns to him and does the moonwalk to back up a bit.]

Amber: Okay, I just gotta tighten this last bolt... [looks up, sees Zane] Oh, there you are. Where'd you run off to?

Zane: I did a little shopping, grabbed a bite to eat, and trashed a giant killer robot.

Amber: Oh, Really? they've got shopping here too?

Zane: Dude, this place has everything. Hey, so how's your translator thingy coming along?

Amber: I think it's done, but it's in binary code so only I can read it.

[The translator module lifts up like a satellite dish]

Amber: Okay, ask away.

Zane: alright, (clears throat) who are you and what is happening to your people?

[The white Swi responds, and Amber reads what the translator is interpreting]

Amber: Okay, he says his name is "Sodachops" and he's from a far away cheese, where bees gives them hugs.

Zane: Yeah, uh... I think your machine still has some bugs buddy.

Amber: Yeah. I think I can figure this out though.

[Amber thinks for a moment before responding with the right translation, with the white Swi nodding to show that this is correct]

Amber: Okay, he said his name is Reckay. He's from a race of beings called "Swi".

Zane: Swi?

Amber: yes, and they are either being used for their magical powers by an evil man, or to make underwear to be worn by salad.

[Zane and Reckay look exasperated upon hearing the other option. Then, Reckay shows signs of pleading]

Amber: I just keep hearing  save them, save them, over and over again.

Zane: When I was running around trashing robots, I saw a map that had a couple of interesting places. I think we could go check them out, and maybe save some aliens.
