There are only a small percentage of the rated crew aboard, so she's assuming that the lazy tech has simply skipped too much routine maintenance and faked the records accordingly. Then the guy who would be Chief of Boat on an actual cruiser takes her aside and gently informs her that the actual problem is *probably* that one or more of the "small packages" which the tech most likely has hidden in the tank has come adrift and gummed up the works . . .

And that's how it all begins. My mind still boggles when I consider how she could havce come up with a name for an organisation like "the Benignity of the Compassionate Hand"!
