“Every man had to know that the others would not abandon him, under
any circumstances. That everything could be lost, but you had to have
the crew on board, alive or dead. This principle did not appear in the
regulations. But without it it wouldn’t have been possible to fly.”

“(...) now understood something without words: that humankind had
not elevated itself sufficiently, had not yet earned the right to that so
splendidly termed stance of galactocentrism, which had long been
glorified, yet which did not mean searching only for beings that
resemble oneself and understanding only such beings, it meant not
interfering in matters that did not concern human beings.”

“The supercopter, the land vehicles, and the barracks were brought
within the cruiser’s perimeter, and a heavily armed rescue squad
brought in all of the survivors from Rohan’s team, in good physical
shape though lethargic. Two additional cabins needed to be converted
into hospital rooms, since the ship’s actual sick bay had no more free
places. It was only when this was done that the scientists turned to the
mystery of why Rohan had been spared, along with Jarg, until the tragic
incident with the mad shooter.”

“The ship was reducing speed. The planet covered up the stars; it was
swathed in wooly red clouds. The convex mirror of an ocean, in which
the sun was reflected, moved past ever more slowly. A dull-colored
continent dotted with craters hove into view. The men at their stations
on the various decks saw nothing.”

“The strap of the light-ray gun was chafing the nape of his neck. He
shifted it back as far as it would go, without taking his eyes off the other
two men. The plasma torch Chen was holding shone like a tiny, blinding
diamond. From inside the vehicle he could hear the recurring rhythm of
a call signal, but he didn’t turn his head even for a moment.”

“Do we need to travel everywhere bringing destructive power on our
ships, so as to smash anything that runs counter to our understanding?
What was the term they used the necrosphere, which means the result
of necroevolution, the evolution of inanimate matter. Perhaps the
Lyrans would have had something to say on the subject.”

“Fifty yards behind them the massive antimatter cannon followed on its
jointed legs the height of a single-story building. At a certain moment,
after they had crossed a submerged tangle of what looked like jumbled
metal cables or wires, they had to stop because one limb of the cannon
had fallen into an unseen gap beneath the sand. Two arctans dropped
from the lead rover and freed the trapped giant. The convoy continued
on its way.”

“The Condor, a ship of the exact same class as the Invincible, had left
the yard only a few years earlier, and in outline they could not be told
apart. No one said anything. (...) Everyone was stunned by the fact that
the ship was simply standing there, sticking out of the desert sands,
tilting lifelessly to one side as if the ground had given way beneath the
stanchions of the stern, surrounded by a welter of objects and human
bones, yet at the same time seemingly untouched.”

“Not everything everywhere is for us, he thought as he walked slowly
downhill. By the light from the sky he was soon able to reach the
battlefield.”
