History

Hji is an alien member of the Society of Higher Interstellar Education and Logistical Development (SHIELD), an interplanetary community of scientific researchers and educators operating from the starship Shield Orbiter and in good standing with the Intergalactic Institute of Advanced Learning of the planet Rus. Hji is well prepared in the use of SHIELD's advanced technology.[1]

SHIELD discovered about Earth-born superhuman Firebird (Bonita Juarez) and correctly deduced that her superpowers were related to SHIELD activities. Fearing that Firebird may be a threat or a hindrance to other Earthlings, SHIELD abducted her to perform painful experiments on her body so as to take relevant conclusions. Onboard the Orbiter, SHIELD's Prime Theoretician Chlreee led the investigation, with fellow Hji operating a machine that gave them information. When Firebird spoke out loud in English, Chlreee immediately asked Hji whether that was a language to be informed of, and Hji identified it as an Anglo-Saxon variation. Afterward, Hji provided a playback of Firebird's recent past with a Cyberlink Actuate Holopict; but, being those the events just before Firebird's abduction, Chlreee noticed that they had to research into older times. Looking at previous events in which Juarez spoke Spanish (with Hji translating), they discovered the meteor-related origin of Firebird's powers, and Chlreee immediately understood that Yrd Base-Level Pupil Yoof had performed an unauthorized experiment, then carelessly disposed of waste elements by throwing those away, and those same residues had empowered Firebird. Chlreee was visibly angry at Yoof.[1]

Firebird then released herself and demanded to know what was happening, attacking the scientists (thou the Orbiter's security measures protected them against immediate harm); Hji immediately wanted to check whether their subject had been damaged in that process. Chlreee ordered to activate the translator for the two used languages, and stepped forward personally to talk with Firebird. Chlreee apologized, explained what was happening, and what had happened, and how they only wanted to ensure that Earth remained stable. Firebird was enraged at discovering that young, irresponsible Yoof had accidentally given her powers, and focused an attack and scolding on him; then had a short crisis of faith. Chlreee, already impressed at how Firebird had used her powers in the encounter, reassured Firebird, telling her of the specifics of her powers and how useful they were, then returned her to Earth.[1]

Notes

  • Hji's speech balloons have an unusual shape as rectangles with the corners cut off, possibly representing a unique way of speaking.
