I meant, were *you* assisting the repair crew vicariously through 'eSSIm?
(The footnote was what made me wonder.)

nuqjatlh? When/where/how did we get that? I was updating my wishlist just
a couple of days ago and added "call, summon" to it. It's not even in the

Just from the gloss where "thrusters" are the example object. Now that I
think about it a bit more, yeah, I guess I can see it - if someone {baH}s
something, then that thing {laQ}s. Forget I mentioned it...
