 :LEO: online German- English dictionary, huge forum, very useful to find out all technical terms (another word for example is spring-gun,  in chapter 3, and ventilation-shaft)

 :So I feel like asking you again: how does one get "leader circuit" out of LEO (or any German-English dictionary)?
 ::;geyser
+Uhm... "Leader" is just the result of a series of overlookings and mistakes in order: two different hits on LEO
+(leit/er and leiterbahn), then as I re-read I mistook the word "leader" as "leaded".
+circuit(al) paths is the most convenient translation where we describe Carmen's skin (Carmen's texture = Cortana's, as you said)
+(and according to my brother, who  is electronic engineer as well as researcher)

 :If your idea of translating compound words is translating word parts separately and put the English words together... I'm afraid that won't yield good results for "technical terms".
 ::;geyser
+Actually it is not possible to get composite words on LEO. And if you know me, you know I would not dare to translate composite words by simply mixing the results of separate hits (well... maybe I cannot resist my curiosity^^). I am not sure whether or not Babylon  accepts composed queries, but sometimes the automatic translator at freetranslation.com deserves nice surprises.
+By the way, LEO often links to an online grammar dictionary, CANOO, where composite words are illustrated through useful diagrams.

 :That one is OK (no hyphen though).

 :Spring-guns are typically used by hunters/braconniers and slightly mad home owners. Not ''too'' fit.
 :Problem is: German doesn't distinguish between those and the (semi fictional) paramilitary ones; English ''does''.

 :There was likewise a shaft secured by automatic guns firing tranquilizer darts. What were they called?
 :And Oni calls them "turrets" (Geschütttürme in German). Googling for "crichton+andromeda+turret" gives you:
