Kiss, Kiss, Kiss the Go-Goat!

I mean, I do like spiders

what?

Run into a cave and break your ankle so that people have to come find you and they see you lying at the bottom of this beautiful cave and maybe there’s a waterfall and the light from the crystals makes you look really beautiful and they say “Are you okay?” and you say “I think so” and they say “oh my God have you been here alone this whole time with a broken ankle” and you say “it’s okay” and they say “you’re so brave” and you are brave and you look so beautiful surrounded by cave crystals and everyone stands over you and says “oh wow” and “you poor beautiful thing” and “I’m so sorry we let you run into the cave but I’m so glad we found you” and let them carry you home and promise to be your best friends forever and that everything’s their fault and also they named the cave after you and you’re prettier than all of your enemies and your enemies all died of jealousy while you were in the cave.

It is *not* AI. It is not """interpreting""" Rocky's words/meaning. It only picks up literal words.

This is how it works:

Eridian words are musical notes/chords

Soundwaves are physical, and at different frequencies they make different patterns! These physical patterns, and therefore Eridian language, is formulaic and repeatable. This is easily processed by computers in a reliable way. This is also lucky for Grace!!

Grace and Rocky create a database that maps notes/chords to words

When Rocky speaks, the computer looks up the exact notes in their pre-made database and returns the associated word

It is a FORMULAIC LOOKUP, NOT AI

Rocky isn't saying "My loneliness knows no bounds, and I have forgotten my soul in the endless abyss" which the translator outputs as "Rocky in space too long"

Rocky is literally saying "... Rocky in space too long" knowing that that's the only words the translator has to draw from.
