Kirk:
Captain Spock, damage report.
Spock:
Admiral, if we go "by the book". like Lieutenant Saavik, hours could seem like days.
Kirk:
I read you captain. Let's have it.
Spock:
The situation is grave, Admiral. We won't have main power for six "days". Auxiliary power has temporarily failed. Restoration may be possible, in two "days". By the book, Admiral.
It’s semantics.
Weeks feel like days. Days feel like weeks.
If you heed government policy, you are not paying attention.
