Quotes[]

  • Roj Blake: Does it support any intelligent life?
  • Kerr Avon: Does the Liberator? There are humanoid creatures called subterrons. They live in caves. Quite what that says for their intelligence, I really wouldn't know.
  • Roj Blake: Why are the Federation there?
  • Kerr Avon: Minerals. About thirty years ago it was discovered that deposits were seeping down into the ice and forming gem stones of outstanding purity and hardness. They are called Ice Crystals. The Federation uses them in heavy duty lasers. They are mined by the subterrons as a slave labour force.
  • Roj Blake: Ah, that is why Avalon is here.
  • Kerr Avon: Perhaps, but the ice crystals are unique and as such quite valuable.
  • Roj Blake: No, Avalon has started resistance movements on a dozen Federation planets.
  • Kerr Avon: Another idealist, poor but honest. I shall look forward to our meeting with eager anticipation.
