I was digging through the fanfold labyrinth of last month’s chat logs when Mx Aquitaine interrupted me. “Mamsir the skip-link telescope is off-axis by nearly two degrees, and the bearings are grinding!”
“I *know*—that’s why i’m scouring these bloody chat logs. I’m sure Ell Four had the same problem last quarter! They did something to their feedback geartrain to correct it but I dinna remember what tooth count they used.”
“Why don’t you use the Search Engine?”
“Can’t; I’ve taken the main shaft offline to reduce the load on the telescope gyros. YES I should have run the search first. Break out the manual semaphore paddles I’m going to have to facts downwell and tell Mx de la Lago eir leave is cancelled, and to bring back half a kilo of Babbitt along with as much fourteen gauge brass as they can steal .”
