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. I quickly retraced my steps to the ventilator shaft, pried open the bottom of the grille, squeezed inside and soon found myself making my way rapidly through the ventilating system in the direction of the Chamber of the Mother. From time to time I would pass an opening in the shaft and peer out. From one of these openings I could see that I was already behind the steel barricade with its priest-king guard, who was standing as I would have expected, in that almost vertical, slender, golden fixity that was so characteristic of his kind. There was no sound to celebrate the Feast of Tola but I had little difficulty in locating the scene of the celebration, for I soon encountered a shaft, one of those through which used air is pumped out of the tunnels, which was rich in unusual and penetrating scents, of a sort which my stay with Misk had taught me were regarded by priest-kings as being of great beauty. I followed these scents and soon found myself peering into an immense chamber. Its ceiling was only perhaps a hundred feet high but its length and width were considerable and it was filled with golden priest-kings, garlanded in green and wearing about their necks that shining, jangling circle of tiny, silverish tools. - (Priest-Kings of Gor, Chapter )
