Thanks for the ideas, but the thing I was wondering about was how you'd describe the "someone cut/cut off the electricity". I used the example with the switch, because I didn't know how you say in english the "someone has cut/stopped the electricity".

I would go with a parallel to the canon phrase from ST6: {tlham chu'Ha'lu'} "We've lost gravity!" (lit. "Gravity has been deactivated") So we get {'ul chu'Ha'lu'} "Electricity has been deactivated". Okay, you might argue that "gravity" is a device on a ship, but "electricity" is not. But still, I think it works. -- Lieven L.
