“Problem is, they soak up a lot of power, and they have to run all day long. The rover batteries have 18 kilowatt-hours of juice. The oxygenator alone uses 44.1 kilowatt-hours per sol. See my problem? You know what? “Kilowatt-hours per sol” is a pain in the ass to say. I’m gonna invent a new scientific unit name. One kilowatt-hour per sol is…it can be anything…um…I suck at this…I’ll call it a “pirate-ninja.” All told, the Big Three need 69.2 pirate-ninjas, most of that going to the oxygenator and the atmospheric regulator. (The water reclaimer only needs 3.6 of that.) There’ll be cutbacks.”

“Get up you lazy bastard. The Governor wants a word with you,” said a guard.  He opened his eyes and smiled. There was another guard standing near the cell door in  anticipation of any trouble. The prisoner smiled at him, too.  Now what can the Governor want from me? He wondered. His dishevelled form seemed  incapable of coherent thought. “It’s nice of him to remember me,” he said aloud, trying to  concentrate. “Surprising he’s got any time for a worthless shit like you,” said the first guard.  “I once used to be a very important person,” the prisoner said feebly.”
