How did you GET that scar? Not "got" that scar, "looking menacing" can be passed off as an artifact of alien to human translation I suppose.
Wait, you're telling me they still use steam even with their future ultra-tech?
Next you'll tell me they still make electricity by making something hot and spinning things with the resulting steam.
Water is actually amazing for heat transfer. It's abundant, has a high heat capacity, is non-toxic and easy to work with. Okay, dry steam can result in some nasty burns, but molten salts would be so much worse...
Actually, those steam-laden pipes were the cruiser's top secret capital gun.
It's hard to camouflage a secret weapon to the point that even your own crew won't notice it.
Well, it's part of a heat transfer system, so that could be high pressure ammonia...
English would more properly be "Looks menacing doesn't it?" I'm assuming that's a translation glitch from Russian.
Yeah, that's the thing. A hero ain't nothing but a sandwich.
Yeah, we quickly forget that many scars result from far more trivial causes than we realize.
