Here be dragons. If you can't reconcile what you find the last 
guy left you to work with with what you think you can do with 
it to satisfy what the customer wants, it's a black hole. 
Issue a genetic re-engineering estimate - whatever you think 
it would take to build the action from scratch, so you know it 
will work, and stand back.

Sometimes it's best to just say AAAArrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhh!
