A Problem in Translation
Humanity's first contact with an alien species¸ the Lemec¸ is complicated by the fact that the aliens don't use an entirely verbal language...not only that¸ but the other aliens in their "domain" seem to worship the Lemec as some type of gods¸ and as they seem to anticipate every move that Captain Shiro Takahashi and his crew make¸ humanity begins to think that maybe the other aliens know something that they don't.
