I couldn't remember the end of this one, and kept waiting for Sinclair to tell the machine to check itself (not exactly pure Ikaran at this point).

I thought the difference in power was due to where he was in charging back up (there was a latency period after discharge of the weapon). Doesn't fit with the 'every time it's 20% higher' description by Ivanova though. Best I can do.

Same comment about Monroe, although my husband gave me a look when I said it. Maybe it's a guy thing. Maybe there was a early 23nd century resurgence of interest in screen goddesses, along with Warner Brothers cartoons. A nostalgia craze...
