"Have we got brimstone enough of our own to make the trip?" "Yes, sir." "Sure?" "Yes, sir more than enough." "How much have we got in cargo for Satan?" "Eighteen hundred thousand billion quintillions of kazarks." "Very well, then, let his boarders freeze till the next comet comes. Lighten ship! Lively, now, lively, men! Heave the whole cargo overboard!" Peters, look me in the eye, and be calm.
"Well," Arcot junior said quietly, "I think you have a fairly good area to use, if you can only harness the energy it absorbs. I have really developed a very efficient solar engine. The engine itself requires no absorbing area, as I want to use it; it takes advantage of the fact that the Earth is absorbing quintillions of horsepower.
That Lick photograph of the Lord Rosse Nebula is its very image, except that there's no electric fire in it. The same great whirl of outer spirals, and then comes the awful central mass and we're going to plunge straight into it. Then quintillions of tons of water will condense on the earth and cover it like a universal cloudburst.

"Meanwhile," said Morey, "let's get on with our own exploration."
The door to the power room was shut, but it was bulged, despite its two-inch lux metal, and through its clear material he could see the wreckage of the power room. "Arcot," he called. "Come here and look at the power room. Quintillions of miles from home, we can't shut off this field now." Arcot was with him in a moment.
