Being non-verbal, communication was hard. You knew sign language, which was good for talking with Roach, but most people didn't, so for them, you had your tablet.

Not everyone was quite so open to it though. Like that one bastard rookie, who thought breaking the tablet would be a funny joke.

Unable to communicate with anyone and quickly becoming overwhelmed, you turned to Roach, just about signing to him... and he just wrapped you in his arms, trying to calm you down.
