Are the blades on the Vanduul fighter supposed to heat up after they're extended?

Do the blades heat up? They shouldn't even have a heat pool to heat up. I will look into that, but... They shouldn't.

I can't tell if he's saying that they do and asking if that's how it should be, or he just wants them to.

No, they should not, and I don't understand how they might be capable of it.
