Chyort voz'mi! The panel shorted. It was repaired soon enough, but this means I miscalculated something. I will have to go over everything again before Mr. Scott allows me near the transporter. At least the formula for the coordinates seems to be reliable, if nothing else.

What a nuisance. you have to over everything, honey?

[ruskieinwention]

Most of it, yes. I do not know where the error is exactly.

[chaos_godess]

And you need to do it alone?

[ruskieinwention]

Da, but that is no problem. I am perfectly capable of doing it by myself.

[entthront]

It'll work eventually, as long as you act like a man and don't give up!

[ruskieinwention]

I said nothing about giving up. But the captain wanted it as soon as I could deliver, so this is rather frustrating.

[entthront]

Good! Then it'll work eventually!

[ruskieinwention]

I do not think eventually is a practical time frame.

[ruskieinwention]

Da, he is our chief engineer.

[ruskieinwention]

Because Mr. Scott does not know of this place and I do not wish that he get sucked in as well. It is bad enough the others were forced here. And I am fully capable of doing it without help.

[losttheplanet]

Great. So that's what that was about. You sure you know what you're doing down there?

[ruskieinwention]

Positive, sir. It should be fine after I find my error.

[losttheplanet]

Good luck with that. This whole damn thing is an error.

[ruskieinwention]

It will not take luck, sir, just a bit of time. The luck might be needed when convincing Mr. Scott to let me near the machines again. He might be...what is the phrase? Gun shy?

[makinganote]

Mr. Scott?

It's always good to have the right formulas! It's hard to do physics without them!

[ruskieinwention]

Our engineer. He is very protective of the equipment.

Da, I should be able to correct it, but it will take a bit of time. If they aren't correct then getting the transporters to work will be very improbable.

[makinganote]

He should be! You never know who'd try to steal it!

That's no good....I'm sure you'll figure it out!

[ruskieinwention]

I do not think anyone on the ship would steal equipment.

Spasiba. I will just have to keep trying until I do.
