"Thank you for calling $helpdesk at $company, my name is $name, may I have your ID number?"

"$ID_number."

"Alright. What can I do for you?"

"My PPD isn't working."

"Your... what?"

"You know, my PPD. Isn't that what it's called? What's it called?"

"I'm... not sure what you're talking about."

"The little computer thingy."

"..... your PDA?"

"Yes, that's it! My PDA's not working. It keeps giving me this error message saying that my backup battery is low. What's that mean?"


*sigh*

You can't let your PPD's battery run down, or they'll be able to break its lock-on with scout channels!

Plasmatic Pulsar Device?

Ah! A fellow fan of SFB, by chance? :)

It was the first thing that came to my mind, as well.

Man, is my inner geek showing...

SFB, aka Star Fleet Battles (the table-top game the computer game StarFleet Command is based on). One of the races (the ISC (InterStellar Concordium)) had a weapon called the Plasmatic Pulsar Device, or PPD.

I hear you can call Tom Cruise for help with PPD. But not tech support.
