The silver tube still lay intact in the firing port but its power was so considerably reduced that it was no longer a menace to the ships of Sarm. A few yards from the flooring of the plaza I brought the craft again into order and, again throwing open the speed valve, darted into the midst of a complex of buildings, where I stopped, hovering a few feet above the street passing between them. The ship of Sarm passed overhead like a hawk and then began to circle. I would have had a clean burst at the ship but the tube was, for all practical purposes, no longer an effective weapon. - (Priest-Kings of Gor)
