"Escape pod" isn't accurate.

Its an escape *shuttle*. I. E. a shuttle craft (great big thing to ferry people around) retrofitted to work in combat enviroments and reserved for the admiral's exclusive use.

And the only points where Roeding is a technical know-it-all are the places where "everybody knows!" things go. Like everybody knows that those engines are very dangerous because of overheating, except the computers have it under control.

And as far as figuring out that you need to cut computers when they act unreliably, well, thats just common sense and brains -- and even then, he doesn't really understand, either, that you can't cut computers.

And as far as the ensign being to calm, I think I need to go back through there. I think I forgot to mention the sweat causing condensation on the suit -- and he's not sweating 'cause he's hot, the suit is AC'd.



Hm... specifics are always nice. OK, going back through this thing on the bus home... (PDAs are nice!)
