• &Still completely mute, it shows you something you completely missed: The entire wall behind the workbench was full of various weapons: some as big as modern rifles, a few as large as machineguns installed on aircraft, and one that looked like dismantled tank turrets. Melee weapons were not left behind, from moderate-sized swords and clubs to warhammers twice the human height and what you can describe only as "boots for mecha". Then it pointed to the sign near you that showed the carved pictograms of coins, some unknown for you sign, and then a bullet - all things considered, it is either a weaponmaster or a weapon merchant.

Hints for adding a new word to the dictionary

• If the word is normally in all lowercase, such as the noun word or the verb does, add it in its lower-case form; if the word is a proper noun, such as the surname George, add it in its initial-caps form; if the word is an acronym or has special letter case, such as the acronym CDDA or the unit mW, add it by preserving the case of all the letters. A word in the dictionary will also match its initial-caps form (if the word is in all lowercase) and all-uppercase form, so a word should be added to the dictionary in its normal letter case even if used in a different letter case in a sentence.
• For a word to be added to the dictionary, it should either be a real, properly-spelled modern American English word, a foreign loan word (including romanized foreign names), or a foreign or made-up word that is used consistently and commonly enough in the game. Intentional misspelling (including eye dialect) of a word should not be added unless it has become a common terminology in the game, because while someone may have a legitimate use for it, another person may spell it that way accidentally.

polished metal arms going from -> >polished metal arms coming from

Spine of a creature
I think you are referencing the mechanical spider's spine here in which case this should be
The spine of the creature

wide, heavily lighted
This should probably be changed to
wide, brightly lit
but if you wanted you could leave heavily in place of brightly. Lighted is also correct, and more popular in British English, so this one is subjective.

This whole thing needs to be restructured

Still completely mute, it shows you something you had initially missed. The entire wall behind the workbench is full of various weapons; some as big as modern rifles, a few as large as the machine guns installed on aircraft, and one that looks like a dismantled tank turret. Melee weapons were not forgotten, from moderately-sized swords and clubs to war hammers twice the height of a human, and what you can describe only as "boots for mecha". Then it points to a sign near you that shows the carved pictograms of coins, some unknown to you, next to a pictogram of a bullet - all things considered, this creature is either a weapons master or a weapons merchant.

pull different stuff you deem -> >pull out items you deem

[AudBobb]

The Weapons Master seems to be tinkering on something, but turns their chair to you as you approach.

[AudBobb]

The Weapons Master seems to be cleaning some sort of weapon, but as you approach them, they call out to someone to take the weapon, and turn to you.

I believe your meaning of this >they call someone to pick a gun< is the weapon master is calling someone to take the weapon they were working on back to the armory or something along those lines, so I corrected the grammar under that assumption.

[PatrikLundell]

I don't think the Exodii would use sound, but rather radio, especially if sound receivers are typically disabled.

[AudBobb]

The Weapons Master seems to be polishing some armor, but they turn towards you the second you enter the room.

[AudBobb]

With a familiar movement, you place a variety of valuables onto the counter, proposing a trade.

[AudBobb]

That's all the grammar issues I see, seems like a good addition to the exodii to try and make them more interesting! Interesting concept for the NPC too, I look forward to trading with spider man.

[PatrikLundell]

If Rubik won't trade certain stuff he'd probably need dialog to direct you to the appropriate trader(s), with the message that they don't understand Anglic, so you'd have to communicate using gestures.
One thing you could do is to use Rubik's dialog to tell you the names of them so you could have one dialog start where you call the name of the one you address, and one for a general "Hello there". You could also have introductions, one for when you know the name of your counterpart (only presenting yourself), and one for when you make a general call and your counterpart introduces itself first and you thereafter (automatically, unless you want a rude alternative, which I wouldn't provide if I tried to write it).
