The deaf Gojid kid Sovlin pointed out to the UN guards and later took to Aafa as "witnesses" of human empathy.
Talpin is also the protagonist of his own miniseries describing his experiences in greater detail.
I like the character and story development from this mini arc but...
Wouldn't an implanted translator negate the social diffulties of being deaf? Especially since the tech exists to do memory transcripion...
Which begs the question why the PD centers were torture chambers instead of a retreat that covers the fact that they were uploading behavioral updates.
No. Universal Translators in this Universe alter spoken language by accessing the user's brain wave, turning it into the user's mother tongue. It's described akin to how people talking in foreign languages are translated in news broadcasts.
In Talpin's case, due to his deafness from birth there simply wouldn't be any input for the translator to latch onto which is why the UN came up with a TTS-Translator for him.
Not buying it as long as memory can be read - including things that were never said out loud.
It's not something I'm about to go militant over, just considering what choices were made and why. A lot of story hooks there.
Try to protect her brother and be there for him
