Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	48	I felt like a child, knowing nothing, taken to some complex factory or store, unable to sort out his impressions, unable to comprehend the new and strange things that flash incessantly upon him.	10

7	39	On the other hand these generalizations are imperfect, for Gorean speech is no less complex than that of any of the great natural language communities of the Earth nor are its speakers any the less diverse.	10
7	96	Never before had I been so aware of the thin margin of reality admitted into the human nervous system, little more than a razor's width of apprehension given the multiple and complex physical processes which formed our environment.	10
7	113	It was, as far as I could tell at that time, a simple odor, though later I would learn that it was the complex product of odors yet more simple than itself.	10
10	21	For longer periods of time there are various devices for recording a message, without relying on complex mechanical devices.	10
10	30	Similarly in the language of the Priest-Kings, the seventy-three "phonemes" or basic scents are used to form the meaning units of the language, and a single morpheme of Priest-Kings may consist of a complex set of odors.	10
13	21	With respect to the rather complex syllabary, I originally supposed that it had never been simplified because the Priest-King, with his intelligence, would absorb the four hundred and eleven characters of his syllabary more rapidly than would a human child his alphabet of less than thirty letters, a...	10
13	30	Most significantly however I suspect that the syllabary of Priest-Kings remains complex, and that experiments with unscented graphemes were never conducted, because, except for lexical additions, they wish to keep their language much as it was in the ancient past.	10
18	139	I looked about myself at the incredible complex which lay below me.	10
21	40	On the surface it is spoken by none but members of the Caste of Initiates, who use it primarily in their numerous and complex rituals.	10
25	100	At last we came to an opening which gave onto something of the sort for which I was looking, a rather small complex of buildings, where I saw several Muls at work but no Priest-Kings.	10
25	123	Such a complex might ideally serve my purpose of the moment.	10
28	14	As I waited, the tunnel and, as I later learned, the entire complex, were suddenly plunged into darkness.	10
29	7	Through the very stone of the tunnel which lay outside Misk's compartment, now opened like a deep window, I could see the next large Nest complex which lay beyond.	10
29	8	I ran across the flooring of the tunnel and through the swath of nothingness that had been cut through the stone and looked on the complex.	10
29	12	The cones were methodically cutting geometrical patterns through the complex.	10
29	40	In less than a few Ihn I had brought the ship into the large Nest complex where the ten ships of Sarm still followed their grim, precise, destructive pattern, as placidly and methodically as one might paint lines on a surface or mow a lawn.	10
29	43	I broke into the open and the floor of the complex shot away from beneath me and I hung near the energy bulbs at the very apex of the dome.	10
29	50	The second craft shot wildly toward the ceiling of the complex and shattered on the stone ceiling, falling back to the ground in a shower of wreckage.	10
29	62	The ceiling of the complex leapt away from above me and I found myself in the very center of the six ships, surrounded on the four sides, and above and below.	10
29	65	From this distance I could see hatches in the ships, on the top, and there was sufficient oxygen in the complex to permit exposed visual observation, but none of the Priest-Kings peered out of any of the hatches.	10
29	68	Two hypotheses would seem most likely to explain this phenomenon to them, first that I had fled the complex, second that I was nestled among them, and I smiled to myself, for I was certain that the second hypothesis would never occur to a Priest-King, for it was too improbable and Priest-Kings were ...	10
29	70	Then for a full Gorean Ahn did we remain there, motionless above the complex.	10
29	74	My heart leaped! Ground fire! I could imagine Misk hastening to his tools and the vast assemblage of instrumentation in his shop, or perhaps sending an outraged Priest-King to some secret arsenal where lay a forbidden weapon, one to which Misk would never have had recourse were it not for the hideou...	10
29	81	Just as the three ships burst into the open of another huge complex I caught up with them and opened fire on the third ship but my fire seemed less effective this time and though I gave it a full burst the charging of the tube seemed at last almost exhausted.	10
29	97	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.	10
29	109	In the cover of the drifting remains of the ship shattered above me I darted among the streets of the complex and rose behind the last ship.	10
29	155	Once I bumped the craft rather severely into the wall of the complex and I could see the explosion of an energy bulb outside through my makeshift port, but I soon managed to bring the ship down safely.	10
29	158	Moreover, if I could bring it to the first Nest complex, Misk would probably destroy it on sight with his own disrupter.	10
29	161	The buildings in the complex were deserted.	10
29	162	I looked about myself, at the empty streets, the empty windows, the silence of the once bustling complex.	10
31	105	In the distance we could hear the domed side of a complex begin to crumble, raining down huge blocks of stone on the buildings beneath.	10
32	28	Misk, carrying Sarm, and the other Priest-Kings and humans, including Vika and myself, made our way from the Power Plant and back toward the complex which had been the heart of Sarm's territory.	10
32	41	A great opening, from the sides of which stones still fell, had appeared in the ceiling of the Nest complex, opening the thick, numerous strata above it until at last through that rupture could be seen the beautiful calm sky of the world above.	10
32	52	At this moment, skimming over the buildings in the complex, no more than a few feet from their roofs, came one of the ships of Misk, piloted by Al-Ka, accompanied by his woman.	10
32	76	I saw that the last ship was preparing to take flight through the hole torn above in the ceiling of the complex.	10
32	91	Drifting dust obscured the complex and I drew the folds of Vika's robes more about her face that she might be better protected.	10
32	194	Vika and I were left alone in the crumbling complex.	10
32	202	Then I found myself in the first Nest Complex, where first I had laid eyes on the Nest of Priest-Kings.	10

15	194	At any rate, to my satisfaction, but Elizabeth's irritation, Flaminius commonly had the best of these exchanges, producing incredibly subtle, complex arguments, quoting supposedly objectively conducted studies by the Caste of Physicians, statistics, the results of tests, and what not.	10

23	190	About the walls of the room there was much delicate apparatus, reminding me somewhat of instrumentation I had seen in the Nest long ago; complex paneling, wires, disks; the dials, I noted, were adopted for a visually oriented organism, needles quivering against a metric of spaces; a cone was flashin...	10

35	1	I Return to the Complex; What Occurred in the Complex "It is not a Kur!" cried the man.	10
35	364	That all personnel were to report to their stations would provide the leaders in the complex with an accounting of their forces and suddenly make the surveillance system of the complex effective.	10

28	166	"Is it morning?" "This complex, in its way," she said, "is its own world.	10
28	174	The complex, then, that in which I was prisoner, I conjectured, might well have a clock similar to those used on Kur ships, and in the distant steel worlds, a clock doubtless once developed for use on their former world, doubtless long since destroyed in their internecine wars.	10
28	175	"We can tell the morning from the night by the illumination in the complex," said Constance.	10

32	51	By means of these cameras, and the various screens, I was given to understand the immensity and intricacy of the complex.	10
32	58	Clearly the complex was tiers in depth and pasangs in width.	10

32	109	Not all areas in the complex, I was confident, had been scanned by the cameras I had seen.	10

34	1	What Occurred on the Ice As I had anticipated it was the intention of Half-Ear that my mutilated body be found at a considerable distance from the complex.	10
34	5	The complex was more than an Ahn behind us.	10
34	10	When I, drawing the sled, had left the complex I had turned and looked upon it.	10
34	64	First, there was sufficient food at the complex, and Kurii usually do not carry excess food and water in their body except when anticipating periods of scarcity.	10
34	93	It was relatively open, easily identifiable, or as easily identifiable as any area might be in the ice, and was at a suitable distance from the complex.	10
34	190	I then doubled back and, taking up the traces of the sled, turned back toward the complex concealed in the ice island.	10
34	191	I pulled the sled, returning toward the complex.	10
34	199	At last, on the return to the complex, some four Ahn later, it died.	10
35	18	I had returned to the complex, crossing the ice near it, with the sled.	10
35	29	I had climbed the height of the ice island looking for some mode of ingress to the complex.	10
35	31	The air in the complex had been fresh.	10
35	73	The more men there were outside the complex the fewer there would be inside.	10
35	78	In short order I managed to find one of the ventilator shafts through which fresh air was drawn into the complex; there was a system of such shafts, some for drawing in fresh air and others for expelling used, stale air.	10
35	120	"It is my intention, Imnak," I said, "to locate and detonate the device concealed in this complex which is intended to prevent the supplies here from falling into the hands of enemies".	10
35	132	"Did he ever speak to you of a device to destroy the complex?" I asked.	10
35	137	"Imnak," I said, "I want you to take this weapon, and get yourself, and as many of the girls as you can, out of the complex".	10
35	218	"I am new in the complex," I said.	10
35	272	"You are not of the complex," she said, suddenly.	10
35	313	I moved swiftly, and yet the complex was a labyrinth.	10
35	314	I did not think any of the humans in the complex would be likely to know the location of the device for which I sought.	10
35	319	I slowed my pace to pass a fellow in the brown and black tunic of the personnel of the complex.	10
35	323	There is reason to believe he may now be within the complex".	10
35	346	It could take a great deal of time to explore the remote areas of the complex.	10
35	379	Its chain would fit the longest tracks in the complex.	10
35	386	His failure to report at his station would surely have localized my whereabouts in the complex.	10
35	395	If I were successful in detonating or initiating the trigger sequence on the apparatus I sought I hoped that it would destroy only those parts of the complex in which the munitions and supplies were stored.	10
35	398	Certainly I had wanted him to evacuate as many girls as possible from the complex.	10
35	399	And yet, nude, or in their silks, would they last more than an Ahn outside in the polar night? There were probably many such girls in the complex, now helplessly chained, beautiful, secured slaves.	10
35	408	If I chose merely to hide, it would take the men of the complex a good deal of time to find me.	10
35	419	I had not understood until then that such women might be in the complex.	10
35	459	There was an intruder in the complex.	10
35	464	I gathered they might be being trained in the complex for their duties later.	10
35	520	"There is an intruder in the complex," I said.	10
35	523	"How long have you been in the complex?" "Four months," she said.	10
35	530	"How could an intruder penetrate the complex?" she asked.	10
35	547	"What does the intruder want in the complex?" inquired the woman.	10
35	678	She was now a component in the chain-and-track system of the complex.	10
35	695	Her modesty had made it unlikely that many in the complex would recognize her body or features, which had, I gathered, been generally kept from view by the multitudinous robes and veils of concealment common to the Gorean free women of the high cities.	10
35	748	I knew there were few Kurii in the complex.	10
35	905	"In the center of the complex," he said.	10
35	988	We entered a recessed, broad room, which gave access to one of the hatchways that led to the outside of the complex.	10
35	1011	"But you did not leave the complex," I said.	10
35	1019	"I think it is in the chamber of Zarendargar, the high Kur in the complex, but it does not matter now," I said.	10
35	1090	Men from the complex lay scattered on the ice.	10
35	1093	Some of the men from the complex had been downed by lances.	10
35	1095	Some men of the complex were thrown to their stomachs on the ice.	10
35	1108	Even more of the People, women and children as well as hunters, were making their way across the ice to the complex.	10
35	1125	I saw two men from the complex being prodded through the halls, toward a room.	10
35	1130	"I would alter the garments you wear, if I were you," said Imnak, "for you might be mistaken for one of the men of the complex".	10
35	1133	I did not wish to wear a shirt or parka in the complex, because of its heat.	10
35	1136	The prisoners, captured outside, shuddering, half-frozen, were herded within the complex, bound.	10
35	1139	Karjuk went then to direct the operations within the complex.	10
35	1146	I looked about, and, suddenly, saw that the port to the complex was being slowly closed.	10
35	1156	I returned within the complex and, with the wheel, closed the heavy, sliding hatch.	10
35	1191	I threw her to my shoulder, to carry her within the complex to a holding area.	10
35	1194	* * * * "The complex is secure," said Ram, "save for the chamber of Zarendargar, Half-Ear.	10
35	1210	The fighting in the complex had been sharp and bloody.	10
35	1211	Men of the complex, and red hunters, had fallen.	10
35	1217	Some had departed from the complex, hobbling wounded away into the arctic night.	10
35	1275	First, a signal is transmitted from the complex to the steel worlds.	10
35	1276	This signal, which can also be received by the probe ships and the fleet, will inform them of the destruction of the complex, the loss of these munitions and supplies".	10
35	1277	"The second portion of the sequence, simultaneously initiated, triggers the destruction of the complex," I said.	10
35	1280	"There are several humans left in the complex," I said.	10
35	1296	I tensed, but the room, the complex, did not erupt beneath me.	10
35	1302	"Yes," said Half-Ear, "that which allows for the evacuation of the complex".	10
35	1306	"The same chronometry which is used in the complex?" I asked.	10
36	2	In two Ahn we were ready to withdraw from the complex.	10
36	3	Sleds were readied; prisoners, men of the complex, now in furs, some forty of them, were tied, their hands behind them, their necks linked by a long rope of rawhide, placing them in coffle.	10
36	4	There was no fight left in them; they knew that on the ice, away from the technology of the complex, they could survive only if the red hunters chose to let them do so.	10
36	7	I regarded fifteen women who had been in the complex, women being trained as Kur agents for work in their cause.	10
36	48	She had been the only woman of her race, other than Poalu, who had been slave in the complex.	10
36	144	They were the girls who had been slaves in the complex.	10
36	290	Outside Imnak was trying to organize a search of the complex.	10
37	1	We Have Left the Complex; We Will Make Our Way Toward the Permanent Camp "Look!" cried Imnak.	10
37	14	We then saw, I, and the others, and the People, on the pack ice more than an Ahn's trek from the complex, a blast of light which, in the darkness of the polar night, made us cry out with pain, half blinded.	10
37	35	I turned the sled back to face where the complex had been.	10
37	102	"It is only hot air," I said, "hugging the ice, low, from the destruction of the complex".	10
37	108	I looked back to the complex.	10
37	112	A nuclear device, or a nuclear-type device, it seemed, had been involved in the destruction of the complex.	10
37	113	I watched the great mountain of ice, which had been the sheathing of the complex, slip downward into the sea.	10
38	39	Tied by the necks to the left-hand, rear upright of the sled of Drusus, clad in furs, were the two beauties he had selected and chained in the complex of the Kurii.	10
38	41	They were girls from the complex, some of whom had been free women, who would be taken south as trade goods.	10
