C'mon, gal, pour on that power. Cycle that crotty drive to get us back to Regulus yesterday. Scatter us c-v particles where we may. We're going to buy the body corporate forever free of dear Railly." If stars had ears, they'd have heard the vast halelujahs ringing from the partnered ship. Page 28 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
