Apollo 131995

John Aaron:
You see this ammeter rise over twenty at any point, power-up is no good. We see it spike, that's sayonara for the guidance computer, our guys can't re-enter, okay?

Sim Tech:
How much power do we have to play with?

John Aaron:
Barely enough to run this coffeepot for 9 hours.

Sim Tech 2:
[over headset] John?

John Aaron:
Go.

Sim Tech 2:
Yeah, Ken Mattingly just got here.

John Aaron:
Copy. He's here.

John Young:
They've been losing heat since the accident. They're gonna start getting a lot of water condensation on the control panels.

John Aaron:
Ken. Glad you're here. You know what's going on?

Ken Mattingly:
Uh, John's brought me up speed. What do we have left in the batteries?

John Aaron:
We don't really know.

Ken Mattingly:
We gotta get started on some short cuts for the power-up.

John Aaron:
Yeah. You know how short?

Ken Mattingly:
Well, it's all in the sequencing, John. If we can skip whatever we don't absolutely need, and turn things on in the right order, maybe...

John Aaron:
I agree.

Ken Mattingly:
You started on a procedure?

John Aaron:
Well, the engineers have tried but, I mean, it's your ship, we gotta get you in there.

Ken Mattingly:
Okay. Frank. I need the sim cold and dark. Give me the exact same conditions they've got in there now and I need the present status of every instrument.

Frank:
You got it.

Ken Mattingly:
I need a flashlight. [Frank hands him a regular flashlight] That's not what they have up there. Don't give me anything they don't have onboard.

John Young:
Let's get this show on the road. Put him in space, fellas.
