Note: Many interjection words are not translated nor written in the English text section. Translation Clip "a" : N: Much later, my boss mentioned to me about a very stressful conversation he had with the Commodore, shortly after my toxic dissociative crisis. S: Do you have an idea about what Ionivka has discovered? E: Ionivka seems to mean that the ionic guide of the BAFI has a high risk of condensing the accelerating ions to such a degree that they will become unstable, but that is impossible, Commodore. Clip "b" : E: She has sensed the presence of a major DESIGN flaw. I know that her intuition is valid. Check carefully your mathematical modeling; I want to be sure absolutely that this eventuality will never ever occur. Do you understand? Never, never, never. S: At your order, Commodore. Clip "c" : Since... T: How? Damn, how? The Commodore is doubting about my calculations; he believes her, more than me. Clip "d" : Three months later... S: I, eh ... found the flaw, Commodore. E: Happy that you found it, at last. Clip "e" : S: There is a possibility that a quantum coherence can take place between the condheliums*. Each one can then spontaneously solidify, then explode at the same point, within the BAFI. E: Do you know how to correct that, without reducing the thrusting efficiency of the Hyprop-2? Condhelium*: A condensed cryogenic cloud of helium ions, see page 19a Clip "f" : S: Yes, Commodore! By letting a higher proportion of parasitic deuterium-deuterium fusion. That increases, even, the efficiency, but that will generate 10 times more neutrons. E: What will be the mission delays induced by that design modification? Clip "g" : E: Eh! It would be 3 years, for the modified design and for building the new BAFI. S: 3 ... YEARS! Clip "h" : S: We have to build a new BAFI. I already transmitted to you, all the required information and a precise work plan. S: OK! Verify the reliability of that solution. I said RELIABILITY, understood? S: Ouf! Clip "i" : E: Professor Verlan will help me in verifying all my diagrams. That would be reliable; this is why that would take 3 years, Commodore. S: Dr. Wong would like to talk with you, Commodore. S: This is good, professor! I will talk about that with the Admiral, I think that he will accept this delay and the related increase of expenses. I have to renegotiate with my contacts of Yfer.
