Still woozy after cryosleep, John sat up straight and rubbed his eyes. After attentively listening to the captain for a few seconds, he stood up, grabbed his drill and placed it on his arm. Pressing the button and creating a shallow, but stinging hole in his skin, he opened his medkid and started disinfecting the wound. At least he was awake, that was for goddamn sure. After cleaning up the wound, he put a band-aid on it and activated his comms. 

[i]"Err, cap'n, I think I must've been a bit sleepy when you said that. I thought I heard you say we were going to hit a ship, you got us new armor, I need to build a shipbuster EMP and I need to do the exact opposite of what you pay me for? I mean, I'll admit I'm all for it, but did you really just say all that?"[/i]

While waiting for an affirmative response, John started collecting the tools he'd need, listing them to himself as he went along. [i]"I'll need some metal for the casing, an energy source, some wire too...Cap'n, I'll need your left sock. I'll be coming to pick it up since I need to sabotage something anyway."[/i]
