    The CWIS on my first cutter refused to run until it received a blood sacrifice (someone accidentally cutting their hand while repairing it.)

      Better a cut hand than a civilian airliner.

      Anoint the CIWS in WD-40 and the blood of the unworthy, and the Machine Spirit shall awaken

        “Blood of the unworthy” is a funny way of saying non-rate blood. Which is what it took every time.

          Undesignated blood practically grows on trees, so it’s not like it was a huge sacrifice. Hell, if you sent a baby sailor one compartment over, he would somehow end up in medical with a nose bleed.
