friends is a ship, but s/he hasn't been able to make it work. S/he's
hungover and frustrated.
Please nitpick usage.

		So, I learn its name.
		It's not a ship. It's not a chair. It's a superdoor.
		I say, I can't use it. It seems to not work.
		The alien takes action.
		It pushes and bends the superdoor.
		The alien says, The chronometer is very mixed up.
I can repair it. I am qualified and skilled.
I will re-establish the system and or add a shield.
I think this thingy and this thingy on your superdoor are counterfeit, but I
have them.
Today it will be ready to function perfectly again.
<Today it will be ready to function perfectly again> -- that sentence gets
me very excited.

The alien connects a rope to a thing.
The alien says, The rope is temporary. I need to turn it.
The alien uses the hand from its nose. It works hard.
The alien says, I definitely need to relabel the calendar.
Do you prefer this language?
I say, Yes. [Be sure to know the two different words for yes].
The alien says, I know the noun but I need to translate this verb.
I need to use my dictionary. 
The alien resumes work.
He or she writes something in the area next to him/herself.
