Hex
“Resembling a shell-less tortoise standing upright on its hind legs, heshe wore a togalike outfit embroidered with intricate designs and a translator disk suspended by a slender chain from around hisher long neck. The hjadd wasn’t wearing any breathing apparatus, though, and it wasn’t until Andromeda caught her faint reflection from a transparent pane between them that she realized heshe was standing inside an enclosed booth.
“Greetings, Captain Carson.” The hjadd raised hisher left hand, six we...bbed fingers spread apart. As heshe spoke, the croaks, grunts, and whistles of hisher natural voice emerged from the translator as a gender-neutral, Anglo-speaking human voice. “Many apologies if I have startled you. It was not my intent to do so.”

A long, stuttering hiss from the lipless beak that Andromeda recognized as the hjadd equivalent of laughter.MoreLess
