Crimson "Odin" returned back to the hangar and landed. Engines not stopped yet, but technicians ready to secure the ship. A black figure in a power suit jumped out of the cockpit, and walked up to a group of engineers in lab coats, crowded near the maintenance bay, awaiting commissar for the next briefing and his reaction.

"Well, commissar, we are ready to quickly introduce you to the improvements in auxiliary electronics of the fighter." - started Shweik. - "Firstly and most importantly, due to the rising number of reports about electronic warfare vessels, we paid more attention to screening all systems from any known types of interference. Hardware is protected from EMI, and communications are protected by heuristic threat analysis module, sensors and transmitter's hardware power output was enhanced, so His Watchful Eye should not blink due to scrambling. Of course, it is still a fighter, and can be jammed with enough power."- Shweik ended the first part of the briefing and turned on a screen with a large image of "Odin's" control panel.

"Another one is improvement of IFF system. In addition to standard comparison of ship types with neural-net database and their identification codes, on-board AI now should analyse all signals from a ship and characteristic emissions from target's equipment. This should help discovering beast's worshippers and infected."- continued aspirant.

"Also,we mounted this socket"- Anton pointed finger at the screen. - "It is made for full compatibility with powersuits, in complex it can act as a full HMDS system, so you don't need additional equipment for marking targets and weapon controls. Most of commands to onboard AI can be given by voice, so that hands always stay on controls. Of course, all flight information is still duplicated by analogous and digital indicators, and an old-good cockpit HUD."

Shweik ended his report and engineers held their breath, awaiting commissar's answer.
