Do the skills for the generic NPC's and named NPC's in the Narrator's Guide only list the skill levels, or do they include the ability bonuses as well?

Nevermind, I found it in the FAQ on Patrick Goodman's website:
Chapter 14: Q: Do the skills listed for each NPC include all modifiers?
A: No. They only show the skill levels.
Yeah, that's one of the things with CODA that always perterbed me. I prefer to have skills written as:
System Operation (Sensors) 6/12
so it's clear what is the Skill Level and what is the Skill Total.
