My Weapons 101 teacher is a Graktar named Professor Milatopos. She has a presence that fills the whole room, and she did not look at me on the first day like I was someone she was glad to have. I haven’t done anything yet. I’ve been here a week.
I’m going to be very careful in that class.
From Chapter 10:
The professor scanned the room, then whipped her lithe body around to face the smartboard. “On,” she commanded. Its screen immediately lit up, displaying her device’s wallpaper to the rest of the class. It was an image of a large black Primeling horse galloping across a beach.
“Display ‘Weapons Sheet,’” Professor Milatopos said. The smartboard displayed a long list. It included blasters, pistols, bombs, neural-attack devices, and neutron blades. “The first thing we’ll be discussing this year is the most feared weapon in all the known universe: the VDM-42. A Vantearian dark matter blaster,” she said, waving her hand. The smartboard began displaying diagrams of the feared weapon.
