(Kiri teases us with the partial operating instructions for a warp core engine but not the method needed to build it. Kiri as always is the ultimate comedian who gets us laughing whenever she comes on.)

Kiri: okay, questions.

Russ: oh by the way Kiri, this is Laura.

Laura: hi Kiri.

Kiri: greetings, hello. Okay…..

Skip: engineer?

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: uh-huh.

Kiri: only in my free time.

Skip: only in your free time?

Kiri: uh-huh.

Skip: you ain't going to tell me so I ain’t going to ask.

Kiri: not going to tell you what, how to build a warp core engine?

Skip: yes.

(Skip starts laughing)

Laura: huh?

Skip: how to build a warp core engine.

Laura: oh geez.….

Kiri: it’s an ongoing joke between the two of us, Russ is totally lost by it.

Skip: this is a going thing with me and this young lady.

Kiri: uh-huh how long? Three years?

Skip: something like that.

Laura: wow…….

Kiri: the compression ratio is equal to the displacement of the energy field. The external input is also equal to the internal frequency of the modulation of the capacity to override the flow-through of the electronical magnetical field which is combined with the flow of a plasmic substance which is diligently monitored by the technician which in turn is operating the equipment that regulates the flow and the modulation of the flow-through followed by the flow-back of the energy source that is equal to the pressure supplied by the combustional residue that is exhaled through the exhaust system. In doing so……

Skip: now you’ve told me what it will do, now how do I build it?

Kiri: right, I told you how to run it, I didn't tell you how to build it or maintain it.

(laughter breaks out)

Russ: where do you get the plasma from?

Skip: I know.

Kiri: can’t tell you that.

Skip: I love you, you’re terrific.

Kiri: and I omitted a whole load of very important information too.
