"Well..." he trails off then says.

"Oh! Well, you know we had a problem with a PEMS control
module on the Bridge before we lifted off the planet, and I
took the module out of the boat and rigged it up. That means
we don't have one for the boat." he sees as happy to change
the subject as you do, "Not that it would do us any good
until we get the sensor receivers on the surface of the boat
replaced, you know."
"Well, anyway, there were a bunch of parts in Engineering
and I thought I'd see if I could take parts from here and
there and get one PEMS control module working that we could
put in the boat. That'd save us some time and money."
"But we're still going to have to get some sensor receivers
once we get to Mark." he sighs and scratches his head with a
screwdriver he had been using to take the case off of a some
module or other.
A small grin forms on Arvitis' face as he adds, "I get to
use my denseometer to look in the cases before I open them,
too."
