What's the cost of a Universal Translator as an advantage?

[Michael Cule]

I've had cause from time to time to give people the ability to understand anything they can hear.

Now when this is a setting based effect (as it is in STAR TREK or, to a lesser extent, DR WHO) this isn't a problem. Everybody gets it and the effect is free.

But when its something some people have and other people don't I need a Character Point cost.

So what is it worth?

(I can do discounts for being Gadget based or dependent on Mana or whatever Handwavium applies myself. What's the basic cost?)

Why aren't I giving it to everyone or at least all PCs when it exists in the game universe? Well, in this particular case because the technology that makes it possible also allows something very horrible to exist... And if they can figure out that it might make them vulnerable to the horrid thing it might make for a story.
