2 3 I rose slowly to my feet, my fibers alive in the wind, my hair torn by its blasts, my muscles each aching and rejoicing in their first movements in perhaps weeks, for I had again entered that silver disk in the White Mountains which was the ship of the Priest-Kings, used for the Voyages of Acquisiti...

Details
10
20 33 Mul-Al-Ka swung the transportation disk suddenly down a side tunnel and, accelerating fiercely, flowed like sound down the tunnel for several portals and then stepped off the accelerator strips and, as the disk slowed and stopped, brought it neatly to rest at a tall steel portal.

10
11 7 The oval disk glided to within some forty feet of us, and the golden creature which had ridden it stepped delicately to the ramp.
Details
10
11 119 "Then mount the disk," said Misk.
Details
10
11 120 I did so, and the two Priest-Kings stepped delicately onto the disk to join me, in such a way that one stood on each side and slightly behind me.

10
11 121 Scarcely had they placed their weight on the disk when it began to smoothly and silently accelerate down the long ramp which led toward the bottom of the canyon.

10
18 11 One afternoon, as I judged by the feeding times, for the energy bulbs always keep the Nest of Priest-Kings at a constant level of illumination, Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta and I were swiftly passing through one tunnel on my transportation disk.
Details
10
18 18 I stiffened on the transportation disk and it nearly ran into the wall of the tunnel.
Details
10
18 27 "Yes," said Mul-Ba-Ta, "or stop the disk and we will get off and wait for you.
Details
10
18 36 The transportation disk sped on and none of us spoke for some time.
Details
10
18 56 The disk flowed on down the tunnel.
Details
10
18 58 "Watch this!" I said, and turning my body I swung the transportation disk in a sudden, abrupt complete circle and continued on in the same direction we had been traveling.
Details
10
18 63 I had been wondering if such a turn was possible with a transportation disk and I was rather pleased with myself that I had accomplished it.
Details
10
18 64 The fact that I had nearly thrown myself and my two passengers off the disk at high speed onto the flooring of the tunnel did not occur to me at the time.
Details
10
18 65 "Would you like to try guiding the transportation disk?" I asked.
Details
10
18 72 "Do you think," said Mul-Ba-Ta loftily, "that a Priest-King would have done so foolish a thing with a transportation disk?" "No," said Mul-Al-Ka, his face beaming.
Details
10
19 74 "Outside," said Sarm, "you will find a transportation disk and the two Muls, Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta.
Details
10
20 2 Although they stood on a transportation disk and this would customarily have been enough to delight both of them, today, and for good reason as I recognized, neither of them looked particularly pleased.
Details
10
20 7 I smiled and boarded the transportation disk.
Details
10
20 9 It would have been easy to fling both of them from the disk.
Details
10
20 10 Mul-Al-Ka stepped on the accelerator strips and guided the disk from the vicinity of Misk's portal and out into the broad, smooth thoroughfare of the tunnel.
Details
10
20 11 The disk flowed silently down the tunnel on its wide gaseous tread.
Details
10
20 20 "You will note," said Mul-Al-Ka, "that we are standing in such a way that you might, without our being able to stop you, hurl us both from the transportation disk".
Details
10
20 22 "Increase the speed of the transportation disk," said Mul-Ba-Ta, "in order that his action may be the more effective".
Details
10
20 23 "I don't wish to throw you from the disk," I said.
Details
10
20 26 "Perhaps," I said, "but why should you wish to be thrown from the disk?" Mul-Ba-Ta looked at me.
Details
10
20 35 He was really rather good with the disk.
Details
10
20 38 Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta said nothing but stepped from the transportation disk and, pressing the portal switch, opened the steel portal.
Details
10
20 57 Leaning forward they were pushing a large, flat circular disk.
Details
10
20 58 The disk floated on a thin gas cushion.
Details
10
20 59 They placed the disk directly under the globelike object in the ceiling.
Details
10
20 60 On the disk there was mounted a narrow, closed cylinder of transparent plastic.
Details
10
20 88 One of them climbed onto the disk beside the plastic cylinder.
Details
10
20 92 The attendant who stood on the disk then, to her horror, pushed back the hood of her garment and the ornate, beautiful veils that masked her features, face-stripping her as casually as one might remove a scarf.
Details
10
20 101 Bending to a panel in the disk he took out three objects: the long, classic, white garment of a Chamber Slave, which was contained in a wrapper of blue plastic; a slave collar; and an object of which I did not immediately grasp the import, a small, flat boxlike object which bore the upraised figure ...
Details
10
20 108 "If he is not well," said the attendant on the disk, "he should report to the infirmary for destruction".
Details
10
20 113 The attendant on the disk had now broken open the blue plastic wrapper that held, fresh and folded, the garment of a Chamber Slave.
Details
10
20 117 The globelike object which had been fastened over her head now stopped humming and flashing, and the attendant on the disk opened it, releasing the girl's head.
Details
10
20 125 The attendant on the disk then bent down and picked up the slender, graceful metal collar.
Details
10
21 49 The feet had no toes but were rather disklike, fleshy cushions on which they padded silently along, and similarly on the palms of their wide hands there seemed to be a fleshy disk, which glistened in the blue light of the Mul-Torches.
Details
10
21 55 Where they stepped I could see a glistening disk of exudate which they had undoubtedly secreted from the fleshy pads which served them as feet.
Details
10
27 4 The transportation disk which had originally taken me to the chamber where I had found Misk I had taken to the entrance to the tunnels of the Golden Beetle and I thought it well that it should stay there, as if witnessing my entrance and my supposed failure to return.
Details
10
27 7 I had not walked far from the Vivarium before I was able to regather my general directions in the Nest and, as I walked impatiently along, I spied a transportation disk docked, so to speak, hovering on its cushion of gas, outside one of the tall steel portals of the Hall of Commissaries.
Details
10
27 8 The disk was of course, untended, for in the enclosed, regulated life of the Nest theft, save for an occasional handful of salt, was unknown.
Details
10
27 9 Therefore I may have been setting something of a precedent when I leaped on the transportation disk and stepped to the accelerator strips.
Details
10
27 11 I had gone not more than a pasang or so when I spun the disk to a stop before another portal in the Hall of Commissaries.
Details
10
27 17 I then leaped again on the transportation disk and swept away to Misk's compartment.
Details
10
27 38 I checked the sword in its sheath and left Misk's compartment, stepped to the transportation disk and swept silently, rapidly, down the tunnel in the direction in which I knew lay the Chamber of the Mother.
Details
10
27 39 I had spent but a few Ehn on the disk before I came to the barricade of heavy steel bars which separated those portions of the Nest open to Muls from those which were prohibited to them.
Details
10
27 40 There was a Priest-King on guard whose antennae waved quizzically about as I drew the disk to a stop not twelve feet from him.
Details
10
27 43 The tunic I wore carried no scent-patterns and for a moment he had thought that the transportation disk I rode was actually without a driver.
Details
10
27 57 "Thank you, Noble One!" I cried and turned the transportation disk almost as if it had a vertical central axis and sped off.
Details
10
27 59 I quickly turned the disk down a side tunnel and began to hunt for a ventilator shaft.
Details
10
27 61 I drove the disk about a half pasang away and stopped it by an open portal within which I could see busy Muls stirring vats of bubbling plastic with huge wooden paddles.
Details
10
28 10 On the second day of the second week of battle, after the forces of Sarm had withdrawn, I, armed with sword and silver tube, mounted a transportation disk and swept through the no man's land of unoccupied tunnels toward the Vivarium.
Details
10
28 13 Therefore it was much to my surprise when I heard a distant singing in the tunnel that grew louder as I approached and soon I slowed the transportation disk and waited, my weapon ready.
Details
10
28 18 And as I waited on the still disk in the darkness, my weapon ready, I suddenly saw far down the tunnel the sudden blue flash of an opened Mul-Torch and then its steady blaze, and then I saw another flash and blaze and another and to my amazement it seemed that these fires hung from the very ceiling ...
Details
10
28 24 He came to the disk and seized my hand firmly.
Details
10
28 63 And so it was a strange procession that followed the transportation disk, now happily piloted by Al-Ka, down the tunnel to the Vivarium.
Details
10
28 125 We walked down the ramp to the transportation disk.
Details
10
28 136 Al-Ka guided the transportation disk out of the Vivarium and we began the journey toward Misk's compartment, the Gur Carriers following overhead.
Details
10
28 190 "Would it not be useful at times," he asked, "if the armored transportation disk could fly?" I thought he joked, but I said, "Yes, at times it would be very useful".
Details
10
28 193 "Surely you have noted the unusual lightness of the transportation disk for its size?" he asked.
Details
10
28 200 "But what of the transportation disk?" he asked.
Details
10
28 202 Yes, I asked myself, what of the transportation disk? I looked at Misk.
Details
10
28 206 "But there is the transportation disk," he reminded me.
Details
10
28 220 The ship was simply a transportation disk whose underside was coated with cage plastic and whose top was a transparent dome of the same material.
Details
10
28 224 Most briefly, the combined drive and guidance system of the disk functioned by means of the focusing of gravitational sensors on material objects and using the gravitational attraction of these objects while in effect screening out the attraction of others.
Details
10
28 227 The flight of the disk itself is incredibly smooth and the effect is much as if the world and not yourself were moving.
Details
10
28 232 Needless to say, although ironically, the first transportation disk prepared for flight was a ship of war.
Details
10
29 14 I ran toward the workshop where Misk and I had left the ship we had fashioned from the transportation disk.
Details
10
29 78 With grim decision I pressed the firing switch of the silver tube and there was a shattering burst of fire and I heard and felt branches of steel and tubing flying back against my armored transportation disk.
Details
10
29 80 Now the three ships were far ahead and I thrust open the speed valve on the armored transportation disk to overtake them.
Details
10
30 46 * * * * My prison was a rubber disk, perhaps a foot thick and ten feet in diameter.
Details
10
30 47 In the center of this disk, recessed so I could not dash my head against it, was an iron ring.
Details
10
30 50 The disk itself lay in Sarm's command headquarters and I think that he was pleased to have it so.
Details
10
30 59 For days in impotent fury I knelt or lay chained on the disk while the battles raged outside.
Details
10
30 163 "Do you think a Priest-King is incapable of love?" * * * * Now my imprisonment on the rubber disk seemed less irritating than it had.
Details
10
30 172 She was later given charge of my feeding and she seemed to enjoy throwing me scraps of fungus or watching me lap at the water in the pan she placed on the disk.
Details
10
31 110 I climbed over the fallen stones and ran from the room and leaped on the first transportation disk I could find.
Details
10
31 111 Though the path it had to travel was broken and littered the cushion of gas on which the disk flowed lifted the vehicle cleanly, though bucking and tilting, over the debris.
Details
10
32 209 It opened and I leaped inside and pushed the highest disk on a line of disks mounted inside.
Details
10
35 21 Across the left eye disk I could see the whitish seam that was the scar left from the slashing bladelike projection of Sarm.
