"Odin's" Hammer and Sickle

[LaWey]

"Tak tochno, comrade сommissar. Will be done in twenty four hours." - said Shweik, without even blinking. Although, Krsnik already wasn’t paying attention and went out from hangar. Once it was certain that сommissar was far enough in the labyrinth of Mykolaiv, doctor burst up in irritation.

"He..just rendered useless a huge part of our work! Does he at least understand how much work we have done?!" - Belov was furious and couldn’t hide his discontent. Anton lit a cigarette.

"And you are smoking in the hangar again, aspirant!"

"Don't you worry, doctor, nothing of what we have done is to be wasted. Now we even have recordings of the comissar's battle-patterns." - Belov pondered deeply, and Shweik started giving orders to technicians. - "Well, comrades. I think, you are all heard comrade commissar words. Let's begin, we will have a long night. Disassemble the outer hull plating, deliver all inner layer's plates to warehouse seven, and XKR-DM plates - to eighteenth one." - aspirant pressed intercom's key. - "Team five, to hangar eighteen in ten minutes."

Doctor Belov watched engineers working. Crimson panels were stripped away and accurately laid on racks.

"So, aspirant, seems like the group had another plan all along?"

"Of course, doctor. We have developed different modification templates. First variant was the balanced one, but comrade commissar prefers agility over other characteristics. So, our team now will rid some parts to reduce the weight of the fighter. We shall replace all inner kevlar-based polymer plating with CNT-fiber. It should help to preserve the thrusting speed."

"Carbon nanotubes fiber? How did you get those?" - doctor looked slightly amazed.

"We were really lucky, doctor. Captain of CPS "Anapa” exceeded the plan and delivered more than needed to Plesetsk. The extra amounts of material were delivered on Mykolaiv and processed into fiber. It is such a luck that I hadn’t used it for another project."

"Huum.. very lucky, indeed."

Disassembling of "Odin" was being carried out. Engineers dismounted the AI core. A heavy box with cooling systems was disconnected from the wires and laid on a cart. One of the workers took it away from the hangar. All the parts not needed by Krsnik were to be removed. Engineers disassembled most of electronic systems, leaving only hardware controllers necessary for stable work of reaction chambers. Plasma flow fuses will be changed to the heavier ones from "Thor". New angles for thrust vector controllers should be recalibrated due to new, overlimit thrust mode.

"Odin" became more plain and harsh, but not low-tech. As a dagger, forged from good steel, it should strike hard, without breaking.
