And a simple heat torch, as I had earlier learned, could scarcely mark the obdurate material. - (Priest-Kings of Gor, Chapter 28, Sentence #169)

When the lights flickered and then burst into clear, vital radiance there was a great cheer from the humans in Misk's camp, with the exception of the Gur Carriers, to whom the energy bulbs were not of great importance. Intrigued by the hardness of the cage plastic encountered in the Vivarium I spoke to Misk and he and I, together with other Priest-Kings and humans, armored a fleet of transportation disks, which would be extremely effective if a silver tube were mounted in them and which, even if not armed, might yet serve acceptably as scouting vehicles or relatively safe transports. The fiery blasts of the silver tubes would wither and wrinkle the plastic but unless the exposure were rather lengthy they could not penetrate it. And a simple heat torch, as I had earlier learned, could scarcely mark the obdurate material. In the third week of the War, equipped with the armored transportation disks, we began to carry the battle to the forces of Sarm, though they still outnumbered us greatly. Our intelligence was vastly superior to theirs and the networks of ventilation shafts provided the quick nimble men of the Fungus Chambers and the uncanny Gur Carriers access to almost anywhere in the Nest they cared to go. Moreover, all former Muls who fought with us were clad in scent-free tunics which in effect supplied them with a most effective camouflage in the Nest. - (Priest-Kings of Gor)
