General Information
As is common practice with practically all weapons of alien design, to get more power out for something the most common solution is to just make it bigger. As a result, the Heavy Thermic Lance is the heaviest, largest and slowest drill weapon to date. On the bright side, it has the potential to produce enough power to put even the Sonic Cannon to shame.
Continuing with the tradition of the first two drills, the aliens haven't a clue how to use these devices as weapons. Again the drills will not activate when pointed at an inanimate object like a wall.
Initial research on the operational use of the Heavy Thermic Lance hit a standstill. It was a problem that baffled even the boffins. No one could it get to operate. Of course, with some excruciatingly painful torture procedures helpful guidance from a representative of the Gillman race (that shall remain anonymous), this stumbling block with the triggering mechanism was removed. Who was to know they misassembled the trigger so that you had to push it the other way?
On a lesser note, funding for an under-slung butter and salt dispenser and utensil storage was declined. The loss in profit from not being able to sell prime lobster meat to the highest bidders was just too high to justify a free gourmet after-battle meal for the ground troops.
