The moment I stepped into the hug... equipment storage area my eyes went to the stealth fighter. I turned to shut the stasis off and then went to look it over.It was very old but I had done a lot of flying in one using the holo sim games. This one had never been used and I would have to go over it before I could even think of using it. I went to work with Sinthia helping. Slowly. Pilar shook her head. “No. We had to fire a few to get most of the rest to behave ... And then we had to hire carefully not to get more of the same ...
