[HPFGU-OTChatter] Translation from Latin

[Katsmall the Wise]

It was definitely SAX! with an exclemation mark.
What I did get until your post I got from Kathryn Cawte:

Silvery star <SAXVM (rock)>, to make the world <SAX>!

The thing that bothers me the most now is what is SAX. That probably 
would make a lot more sense if I knew what SAX is.
