Looks like Kerry solved this one, but here's another (perhaps
simpler) approach.
Instead of making gMechFailure a property list, just make it a linear
list. Seems like you are just storing 12 values in it, where each
one represents a value for a single room. If you did this, then you
could just index directly into the list like this:
if gMechFailure[currentUnit] = #foo then
