CHRIS The Lens can only be attuned to one person's mind at a time. It will kill anything else that tries to use it. KIM Then. . . this accident. . . CHRIS Was no accident, eh? Surely, something, a wonderful thing, happened, didn't it? Version 2.0 - 19 - 06/01/88 Lensman Lensman CHRIS With that Lens, you are, consequently, a Lensman. The data in your Lens is secrets of the Boskone. We must get that data to the Galactic Patrol if we are to win the war. BUSKIRK Ah--- with THAT, we'll frantically have those fellows on the run? You're joking, aren't you? KIM Ugh! CHRIS Hah! Won't have a better chance than this again! BUSKIRK But, WHERE is safe? At least, this is an unexpected land- ing.

GUARDS Honored Zwilk: please condescend to let us hear the planned activity of this Imperial journey? Also, is the name of the previously destroyed Galaxy Alliance warrior more than just a dream? ZWILK Heh, heh. . . it is from this that battles come. Since that episode, there has been much Thionite mining activity. If you please! GUARD Yes, sir! Leave it to me . . .
