[FOCI]
Translation Codex
This is an unusual Focus, for it attaches itself to the Focus of another. That is to say, the Stranger who exhibits this Focus will usually be the assistant to another Stranger, whose translation made them some kind of scientist or technologist. And while being a mere assistant may not be glamorous, the duo can be an incredibly potent combination.
Carrying their master's equipment, handing them the right tools, providing needed assistance on tasks, these chores are mind numbing to one such as me. To those who would actually translate into this Focus, they are the bread and butter of a role they were born to play—the humble servant merely seeking to take part in something greater than themselves. I for one would prefer to be the master.
