[SCENE:  The Engineering section ot ISS Titanic.  Bodies of Bynars & Jawas, along with an Andorian or two, plus a Tellarite here & there, are strewn across the deck.
In one corner, four Ferengi are doing their best to hide themselves & a group of Ewoks from what appears to be a hooded raging madman prowling the section, purple lightsaber in hand.
Engineer emeritus Merlin and current chief engineer Ozymandias McCool are lying motionless against one bulkhead.  Captain Korrioth, having been knocked woozy by the angry hooded warrior, is now attempting to position himself between he with the lightsaber & the two objects of his extreme angst.
The lightsaber-wielding beast removes the hood, and we see (as expected) Lord Darth Venomous point his weapon at the captain.]
VENOMOUS:  THEY HAVE FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME, CAPTAIN!!!  They told me they were ready to go!  GIVE ME ONE  REASON WHY THEY SHOULD KEEP THEIR FUCKING HEADS!!!
[Captain Korrioth calmly pulls what appears to be an isolinear chip from his tunic, and holds it up before Lord Venomous.]
KORRIOTH:  “Service Pack 1”.
[Venomous looks at it, a peculiar, puzzled expression on his face.  He starts to say something, hesitates, then dons a twisted facial expression.]
VENOMOUS:  Oh.  Okay, then.  Carry on, Captain.
[Venomous turns and calmly walks from the room.  Korrioth breathes a sigh of relief, and goes to render assistance to his still-unconscious engineering staff.]

Looks like we’re good to go, guys.  Will be testing stuff out over the next few days, as Version 3 was supposed to render some of my plugins inert.  (Which is why I resisted upgrading for as long as I did.)
Keep your eyes peeled.

Then again some old folks are needing to do the same thing at 1800 as well David.
