Captain: "Yeah"

I'm thinking that's not a big deal, it was close... then:
BIGRO
Captain: "BAGRID"
Me: What the??? "BIGRO? Check"
ALEKI
C: "ALEXIS"
Me: Sure... what the heck "Check"
NIKUK
"NOKUD"
"Check"
UVUNO
"UVILL"
"Check"
ADBAG
"ADGOG"
(Holy crap... that's not even close! Are we going to the same place?")
"Check"
And it went like that for about 10 pages worth...
