Difference between revisions of "Rikolfr"

During the Second Battle of Alta, he is in the DDF command post with Admiral Ivans and. At one point during the battle, he informs Ivans that the private ship owners are planning to evacuate rather than assist the DDF{{book ref|sky1|49}} and asks Ivans if she has ever seen a pilot fly as well as Spensa (who is using her [[Cytonic]] abilities at the time).{{book ref|sky1|50}} After Spensa crashes, he brings Ivans new reports and is the only one besides Ivans still watching the battle on the holoprojector; the junior admirals and other staff are all in chaos trying to sound the alarm to the caverns. He reports that the Krell bomber with the lifeburster is less than five minutes away from Alta Base and that all of the emergency gun emplacements are either already down or taking heavy fire, and asks if they should try to evacuate the command post for a deep cavern; Ivans elects to remain in Alta Base, which causes him to swallow, but he continues with his report. When Spensa returns in [[M-Bot]], flying at Mag-20, he gasps at the speed of the (at that point unknown) ship, as any DDF ship would have broken apart at that speed.{{book ref|sky1|52}} When the pilots successfully cause the lifeburster to drop before it can get in position to hit [[Igneous Cavern]] (but within the "death zone" where Alta Base would be destroyed), Rikolfr weeps, though whether he does so out of joy for Igneous being saved or fear of what he believes is his impending death is unclear.{{book ref|sky1|53}} As Ivans' personal aide, he likely attended Spensa's briefing on the information M-Bot hacked from the Krell after the battle was over.
