I somehow can't visualise this.

Scum: Hey, dude, where the *@#! are you from?
PC (looks at handcomp, presses a few keys, face lights up):

Well, on one occasion when we were facing an enemy battleship, one character
with a good computer skill and a good computer hacked into the enemy ship's

because it had been in near orbit round a planet when it jumped.
