Quay
this round, hard-plastic sphere measured about twenty centimeters in diameter, and used by the Weequay as a sort of communications device. The Weequay believed that they could use the sphere to talk to the moon-god Quay. In reality, the plastic sphere was a simple random response generator. When prompted for a response, the ball would generate a random phrase, such as "It is decidedly so" or "Ask again later." To the Weequay, the quay resembled one of their homeworld's moons, thus giving it even greater significance and a way to communicate with Quay, the god of the moon.
