1. Languages had never been Sam’s strong suit, but even she could tell right away that something was wrong. It sounded like the inhabitants of M3Z-559 were speaking at least eight different languages. Wait, there were two more… this was unprecedented. It was the colonel who noticed the locals were only ‘speaking’ languages Daniel spoke. It turned out that somehow, the gate translation system had set itself to every language Daniel spoke. After that, Daniel was prohibited from being the first one to go through the gate

Five times the Gate translation system didn’t work properly
Nobody appreciates a Gate Tech. To the uninformed observer all they do is call out a series of codes: chevron 1 encoded, chevron 2 encoded, blah blah blah…
Nobody understands the complexities of Gate coding that are behind these simple call-outs, and nobody cares - until something goes wrong.

Note to self: double-check the age-stabilizer screen before transit and make sure all the values are at acceptable levels. No cheating, either, because you can’t take it with you - what little sense you might have now you won’t have yet at age 17. And seriously - who wants a ship full of teenagers?

Oh, thank you so much!! Yeah, that prompt gave me a WTF moment - and then I thought, well, the darn thing translates people into energy and back again, so voila. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
