22. The vessel can’t hold position
23. You didn’t see that fighter plane?
24. The survey seabat can’t even see the deck, what makes you think it’ll see the pipe underwater?
25. We’re reallocating signal conductors to improve ROV comms (the R word)
26. For the next phase we need the foo foo valve mounted on the tooling manifold
27. Survey are changing the beacons, but I think they have a problem (put someone else in the shit)
28. We’re just uploading some more sonar contacts
29. The new environmental green oil has to settle
30. My boss is talking with your boss.
31. The supply boat is tried up alongside

39. The specific density of sea-water has dipped below tolerance. We have to replace it before we can proceed. Our buoyancy can’t work in these conditions! 😆

42. the rs232 is not talking with the flux Capacitors on the circuit with the dilithium crystals,so we cant go into warp drive.

43. Don’t ask me I don’t know what the ROV is; I was a chef before doing the training course at Fort William – but I have a bit of paper somewhere that says I’m an ROV Pilot…

44. We had to bring the ROV up as there is a fire drill sometime today and we don’t want to be left out !
45. 😀 Since the ROV is on deck due to the fire drill this appears to be an oppotune moment to carry out maintenance to the system.
