Mirja, The Wolf of Eden
The Book. The Book The Book! Yea, Mirja had no idea what she was doing here. Chinese literature and learning aids were scattered about her table, and she felt pretty confident that she could speak, read, and write it now - she had a strange mental tick when it came to learning things - but the book remained basically gibberish. She could pull out a few words that meant something but most of it was to old to make sense of, like reading Old English and expecting your 24th century linguistics to translate it perfectly. Which it didn't.
So, after she exasperation, she picked up the book, and took it over to a guy that she knew, that was really smart. Walking into 3rd was always a little strange, like she was disturbing a nest of highly trained monkeys, and those monkeys stopped work to stare at the strange intruder. The musclehead that was just good for punching things and shouldn't be in the smart section of the Seiretei because she just didn't have the mental capacity to understand anything that was going on there. Probably paranoia, but over the years Mirja had developed a lot of that.
Eventually, she walked up to Zeda's desk, and dropped her book on it, to get her attention away from whatever leching he was doing, or if he was having a nap with his eyes open or something.
"Morning Zeda~! I got something for you. I need your mighty brain on an expedition of language!" she exclaimed, grinning broadly as she opened it and launched right in without waiting for anything resembling a response. "So I've managed to get a bit out of the book, there are repeated mentions of Wudang-an-han which is basically a conceptualisation of how your body and your soul interact with each other in cool meshed buggerations. There is also several mentions of Reiki which is the idea of your physical energy, but the rest is gibberish. And so I need your help"

THE BOOK!? WHAT BOOK! Zeda was clueless to this whole thing as he was in his lab working on those smart people things, stuff that less smart people don't tend to care about since they don't understand. Nevertheless he had left a gigai in his place on his office, it was there to make it look like he was in his office while he worked in his lab but when Mirja arrived she would see this gigai "poof" in a comical display of smoke and Zeda would appear in its place confused since before he had just been running high-level calculations in his mind.
"Huh? Ah.... Hi Mirja, language? Well of course I can help... but you do know technology is already there and able to do whatever I can do."
Despite his answer Mirja seemed to not care at all to this as she ignored him and forced the book right into his attention, taking the book from her as she told him of the contents that she could understand the references to Chinese concepts. Looking at the book and flipping through the pages he turned to look at Mirja before sighing.
"So... you have a book, that references Chinese myth. Now as there are is a lot of information on the interaction of spirit and body from that region I am going to need to know if it can be narrowed down to a more specific idea.. like Chakras. And the practice of Reiki I believe follows the same principle of Kaido just that energy is transferred via touch to prompt healing in the target. Alternately the way Shinigami harness their energy is similar to the synchronisation of spirit and body, in the form of zanpakuto as well as the use of reiatsu to heighten our body's capabilities."
The captain was not often required for this kind of work, hell he wasn't often bothered for tasks like this at all and it was only by the fact that Zeda knew Mirja that he was taking time to try and assist her with this translation, but what made the dialect so hard? These days Google Translate was so much more accurate than it used to be, so why was he targeted for this job.
Nevertheless he stood there reading the book, or attempting to read it while the wolf girl spoke and kept speaking about the topic of the "book" that was so important to Mirja that she needed it translated.
"Isn't there just a translated copy of this book?"
