Raglan studied all the crew, learning who he could use his powers on and who he couldn't. If there had been someone better to deal with the situation, then Raglan would not have hesitated to send them.<br/><br/>And it's Neutronic Bursters by the way. You don't see me renaming things identified by others in their posts.<br/><br/>Do you have a bit of a control problem? ???
