Narrator: Meanwhile, in the machine shop...
Carlos: Tawny, you're still here? Don't you think you should call it a night? Hey, is that the Quep* from Lt. Fadeneir's Lancer?
Narrator: *Shorthand for Q.E.P.: Quantum Entangled Particle
Tawny: Once my brain gets stuck on something I have a hard time thinking about anything else. Even sleep.
Carlos: Well, have you found anything?
Tawny: I think I know why we got that error.
Tawny: Every quep in our network shares a sympathetic tie. If you tickle one, they all laugh at the same time, no matter where in the galaxy they are. No matter waht this quep does, the others won't "laugh." It's out of sync with ours, and now the flight recorder isn't keeping time correctly.
Carlos: At least I have some sympathy for it. My jokes don't usually land either. It's too bad we can't like, hook it up to a good particle and jump start it... It's not like it's a battery.
Tawny: That's it! Carlos, you genius! Here, we've got homework to do! I'm gonna get us some coffee, it's gonna be a long night!
