Rosuav [trivia] Aye. It's fine to have Light Emitting Resistors, but Smoke
     Emitting Diodes are a bad sign.
Fynn [trivia] Shrapnel emiting capacitors suck too
Fynn [trivia] I met those, one of my more reckless techs was doing some shady
     energized gear work
Fynn [trivia] Needless to say, we didn't tell anyone what we were up to.  But
     the ship took a bad roll, and he dropped his multimeter lead and shorted
     somethings out
Fynn [trivia] Two loud pops, and two capacitors were no longer on the board
Rosuav [trivia] Where'd the capacitors go?
Fynn [trivia] Inot little pieces
[trivia] Rosuav snickers
Rosuav [trivia] What you can't find won't hurt y ou
Fynn [trivia] "No sir, we have no idea why the board fried itself, we'll just
     replace it."
[trivia] Rosuav laughs
Abdalan [trivia] Equipment fault, it always is
Rosuav [trivia] What sort of system was it? You said something about the ship,
     so I'm presuming it was some vital military computer?
Fynn [trivia] Not a computer at all
Fynn [trivia] Pump motor controler
[trivia] Abdalan winces in pain.
Rosuav [trivia] Ah. Did you have a spare board?
Fynn [trivia] based on how much steam we were making, the circuit would speed
     up or slow down the pump
Fynn [trivia] We had a redundant pump and controler
