The PopWorks 2.25 Translator Communication Box
“Piece of [redacted],” Dunny said, then grumbled at their POPWORKS 2.25 Translator’s censorship.
Every translator from POPWORKS {“THE FAMILY COMPANY - ™️”} was equipped with a real-time vulgarity sensor that had a library of dozens of languages and their profanity indices. The newer models allowed groups to override the rules, but the older models - the ones companies threw out in the thousands - were locked down. Nia tried to break the back-end security before, but the tools were hard to come by, and Bolt didn’t want to brick the headsets with some ad hoc workaround.
I know we're kinda leaning on "Obviously Cola Adjacent" with the PopWorks branding in-universe, but there's also a distinctly Wonka vibe to some of it (specifically Gene Wilder Willy Wonka, which is s really great combo. I imagine some of their diversified prosuct offerings are just the right amount of unhinged. (Dare I write obscure dwarf mech components fueled by a secret PopWorks subsidiary?)
