"on it baren"
"shrav, free up some power from the wepones"
shrav roles ( 5 + 6 ) + 7 = 18
with the free power, (metaphoricly speaking) emray puts it in to the defelector dish and interal dampners
( 2 + 2 ) + 7 = 11
"Alik, see if you can fix the damage to the wepones"
"thats good. captin, we should feel an easing up of problems now, just be careful with the wepones. i borowed power from there. ive got Alik on it now. thay should be repeared in an hour"
"pfft, an hour? 20 minits, tops, you'll see" alik says
in any event, its more like 30, with a score of ( 5 + 3 ) + 10 = 18
on his return, emray is sutbly impressed not to say anything about the slight discrpency...
