There were now four ships ahead of me in the tunnel, fleeing. - (Priest-Kings of Gor, Chapter 29, Sentence #76)

Suddenly the ship beneath me seemed to quiver and then it blurred and disappeared. 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 hideous precedent of Sarm! Almost immediately the remaining five ships fell into a line and raced down toward one of the tunnel exits that led from the complex. The first ship to near the exit seemed to burst into a cloud of powder but the next four ships, and myself, who had fallen into line with them, pierced the veil of powder and found ourselves coursing through the tunnel back toward Sarm's domain. There were now four ships ahead of me in the tunnel, fleeing. With satisfaction I noted the width of the tunnel did not permit them to turn. 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. Some of the materials flew with such a force that gashes were cut in the obdurate cage plastic and the ship was buffeted and jostled but it cut its way through this jungle of flying parts and found itself again streaming down the tunnel. - (Priest-Kings of Gor)
