This is good. You have good pacing and ambiance, and I would certainly read on to find out who the human is and how (s)he got there.


A few typos and grammatical. suggestions:
“She almost tripped on the various shrapnel that” I suggest you use just “shrapnel” as in “She almost tripped on the shrapnel that”
“Backside.” Suggest “back side”
“She asked with in her grainy voice” suggest “in her grainy voice”
“The translator,’ sejji...” Capital S
“We’re so far from it’s home solar-system” should be “Its home solar system”
“one of their best traits right?” Suggest a comma before “right”
“their crew member’s well-being” suggest plural— “crew members’ well-being”
“concentrate in connecting” suggest “on connecting”
“A smile grew on sejji’s face,” Capital S
“You needed the translator.’ Xnee clarified “ suggest “need the translator” in present tense.
“A white light loaded onto its surface as a brief sting of the device caused Sejji to grimace.” I find this description a bit hard to picture. I suggest changing the word “loaded” for either “flashed” or “appeared on”, and specify where on her body Sejji felt a sting.
“Xnee scratched at her hair” suggest “head”

Best of luck with it.
If you want to return the favour, have a look at my short science fiction story collection. Even if you don’t purchase, I would appreciate a review on the first story, which you can read for free with “look inside.”
