Bullet-time, meet Coffee-time. Same thing, but with coffee and less

*Snip*...he opened another channel, to Zodar "Zo..Phoenix incoming for repair's forget everything else, weaponry, life support, coffee machines IT GETS PRIORITY!"Zodar responded, with a coffee fuelled "Nygffhasfhafhafhh" which Jay guessed meant "Ok!"*Snip*
Zodar sat by himself, deep in the bowels of the Blue Dwarf. He'd been drinking quite a lot of coffee.His mouth opened and he made a sound, "Fauhcheldhjeht", his eyes flickered almost lizard-like and he set off down the hallway.This, to the uninformed observer, would appear to be gibberish, but if you slowed it down, it actually made some sense*:"Phoenix? Here? Excellent, ready the docking bay, collect the tools, make coffee. Uh, no, no coffee, too much coffee. Much too much. Gotta get to the docking bay for the Phoenix, get some repairs done, no problem, unless the hull's been breached, then there's a problem, a little problem, a little more work to do, but no biggie, right? Ooh, gotta go pee."
*10 minutes, and 15 gallons later...*

"Ahh... That's better!" said Chris, but it hardly even registered as sound.

So off he went to prepare for the arrival of the Phoenix, and in Zodar's current state of hyperalertness and hyperactivity and, well, hyper-everything, repairs should take no longer than 10 minutes.

...And that includes the time it takes to brew another pot.
