What the hell does Tala Moana mean
I've put it through every pacific islander language in google translate, and it comes out as "tell sea" or "story blue" or some other word salad. Uniques and such with maori names, like Matua Tupuna, usually mean something, so what is Haku saying when he wants me to go bust a ghost?

It's an ancient Polynesian greeting concept where 'Namoa Lata', which means 'good day' is doubly inverted to Tala Moana. This has the double meaning of both 'good day' and 'be good to the day'. It's an invitation to be an active participant in the hoped-for good day, both for your own sake, and to help others have their own good day.

Yes, I just made all of that up.

It's based on the phrase "Kia ora" which is a Maori greeting, as the Karui are based largely on the Maori of New Zealand.

It's Wraeclastian for Hakuna Matata, obviously.

It should be obvious that Tala Moana means "you're screwed". For example, if you play a marauder then you get Nessa's Introduction: "Tala moana, Marauder of Ngamakunui..." which roughly translates to "you're screwed, marauder for playing melee". So Haku says "you're screwed if you do my mission" which I interpret as meaning very boring mission and a waste of time for little reputation.
"You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."

It means:"I'm not a beast of burden".
This is a buff.
