Summary
Short, plotless worldbuilding. Oneshot, but shares some themes with the other oneshots in this series, because I will never stop thinking about the wacky edge cases in translating alien languages.
Such as: “hey, for scent-based languages, does the TARDIS just have a bunch of chemicals that it can mist at people? Could you be tricked into saying something that will make the translation matrix spew out poisonous gas? Could you yell really loud to make it blast (translated) extinguishing foam at a fire?”
Potential spoilers through The Giggle.
