"Hey, I haven't seen translator in a while. Where has he gone off to?" Slava wondered

"Last time I checked, he was upgrading the oxygen system in the cockpit."

"While he is doing that, I guess I should tune the shields. I looked at the patrol route, and it takes us dangerously close to the local star. Solar flares are dangerous if you don't tune you shields properly." Slava explained. "And 90% of shield operators do not know how to tune against solar flares. That is why they are so dangerous."

"And while you do that, I'm gonna ball up in this room and do rock around for a little until someone needs me."

Interceptor slowly takes off, as not to jar those not strapped in.

Shield frequency: 406 GHZ.

He then added "How would you feel if we suddenly get a Zoltan or two onboard. I heard they're really effective in boosting shield systems."

"Tuning shields is not easy, though some people know how to do it. Tuning against something as powerful as a solar flare is something only 2 or 3 people in the known universe can do." Slava explained. "It is understandable why Lanius don't know. I believe an Engi came up with the theory."

Zoltans just think they are better than you because they have innate power. Arrogant Suka Slava thought
