Tell me how the script arrives with you with holes in it.

Typically, when I receive a first draft script there will be a few places in the script, usually in dialogue, where I will see the word 'tech' all in capital letters. That�s sort of my cue to fill in the blank.

For example, the writer isn't sure what an appropriate term might be for a piece of technology that one of the characters is working with or some new phenomenon in space that the crew is encountering. So I will try to find the most appropriate word in real science.

If it�s something that is much more on the side of fiction, then I will try to invent appropriate language for that phenomenon or technology.
