"GN/DN" comes from Star Strek props, it is written on ship panels as short or "goes nowhere, does nothing", meaning it is generic set decoration.
Script[]
Fighter | Well, I've inspected the airship. |
Thief | Report! |
Fighter | What you've got here is your basic total systems failure. the upper support rig is three degrees out of normal operating range. Just right out. |
Fighter | Your L-Beam is cracked in at least three places. I wouldn't even attempt impulse speeds with that kind of damage. |
Fighter | On the subject of propulsion, the anti-matter regulator is coughing up a lung. If you have any interest in not being vaporized, I'd keep that turned off until we can replace the unit. |
Fighter | the entire GN/DN tube network is shot. |
Thief | Not the tubes! |
Fighter | They may as well just be there for decoration at this point. |
Thief | Dammit all. |
Thief | Is that everything? |
Fighter | It's the best list I can make without a working Level 3 diagnostic. |
Thief | Where do you suggest we start? |
Silence... | |
Fighter | First, it'd be nice if I knew what any of this stuff meant or did. |
Meanwhile, in Elf Land... | |
Elven Messenger | Sire! Do you see? The skies belch ash and blot out the sun. |
Elf King | And the winds bring with them the foulest of all stenches. Dwarf. |
Elf King | It is clearly their work. War is in the air! |
Elven Messenger | Also burning hair, |
Elf King | Oh, I hope we can get the smell out of my robes. |
