Natotevaal. War Chronicle - страница 6
-Repeaters, due to their small size are survivable against the enemy; they line up in a chain which connects both parts of "Krovur".
-experts believe that the ‘swarming fly’ maneuvers are only possible due to a radically new type of engine, different from the megrasine ones.
"Krovur" probably has gravitational driving force, which is two or more artificial groups, asynchronously rotating inside the computer by thickening the rim, which is no more than a looped-through accelerator channel.
This allows "Krovur" to change the direction of the flight instantly, along and across its body, which is almost unattainable for our "cigar-shaped" vessels.”
However, the scientific and technical achievements, no matter how incredible they are, do not cancel or devalue human emotions and qualities – the duty of friendship, loyalty, personal courage and honor – these feelings are eternal and timeless. The strength of these feelings will be time-proved, and it will depend only on the hero whether these tests will end up with victory of the spirit or shame.
Therefore, when we read the list of the fallen Natotevaal recruits, we see an eternal granite plate in front of our eyes with names of the heroes of the Second World War, and this feeling is intensified with a Russian name of one of the characters:
"Here rest:
Jean Batiste Dunois,
George Fujieka,
Wolf Lauer Hoffman,
Otto Franz Eichberger,
Mathias Leiseheld.
And the soldiers of Natotevaal:
Richard Aydem,
Alexander Vladimirovich Dybal.
God bless their souls,
And the souls of all the commandos from Earth,
Who have fallen in Natotevaal.”
