After a while the Ranger's inner lock opened, and a group of men hurried across to the orbit-ship. Probably a searching party, Tom thought. Soon the men came back, then returned to the orbit-ship. After another minute, he felt the vibration of the Scavenger's motors, and he knew that his snare had been triggered. He saw the little ship break free and streak out in its curving trajectory.
They were speaking at the moment about God and the nature of student life, but came, after a few unimportant discussions, to the main topic: abortion and the inner life, which gave them pause. The discussion was triggered by a report in an art journal that someone had cut out and brought for the purpose of discussion. The priest read out loud: Collapse of the famous dancer Lola Lal
He used to be a district leader, under the bureaucracy. But along in the last few weeks, just before the change, he got into some sort of scrape. They questioned him, and declared him unfit for service. Put him out on a pension." He pulled at an ear. "Matter of fact, I understand his case had quite a deal to do with the change sort of triggered it.
More than thirty miles away, by the edge of the park, was Casa Del Zorro, a cottage-renting resort catering to the upper middle class. Here, Rama divined, was a good place to drop acid in a group. During the drive to Casa Del Zorro, a fast-food restaurant triggered a flashback of Rama giving Sal and me LSD and taking us to MacDonald's.
But evolved people are not better than others. Are college students any better than third graders?" This diffused my concern that Atmananda's line of reasoning justified the formation of an evolved elite. "Karma is a cosmic feedback mechanism triggered by past actions. In a universe governed by karma, few experiences are coincidental."
This syncopation of scratch triggered the anger that had been building within him, slow and unnoticed. "I'm serving notice," he said, jumping to his feet. "I'm through with this slave business. Which way is the nearest spot in the desert where I can find the D'zertanoj?" "Over there, a two-day walk. How are you going to kill Ch'aka?" "I'm not going to kill Ch'aka, I'm just leaving.
That would be a perfect protection against atomic bombs, if the chemical explosive that makes them go off could be triggered from a distance. Clever people, these monsters!" Then he said abruptly, "Come on! It's ten times more necessary for us to get to where somebody can make use of our information!" "Go where?" asked Jill, shaken once more.
Sometimes it's kids that he's played to, an' I'll be triggered if one of 'em one day didn't have no excuse to offer except that David had fit him 'bout a cat, or somethin' an' that ever since then he'd thought a heap of him though he guessed David didn't know it. Listen ter that, will ye!
Another peculiarity of the weapon, one that I have never seen before, is that by pressing on the back of the trigger the ordinary light pull of the piece is so reduced that the merest touch suffices to fire it, thus rendering it hair- triggered in the fullest sense of the word. It has two flap-sights marked for 150 and 200 yards, in addition to the fixed sight designed for firing at 100 yards.
He blinked at them until they all ran together in bands like the jeweled coils on Warlockian bodies; then he slept dreamlessly. The Terran awoke with all his senses alert; some silent alarm might have triggered that instant awareness of himself and his surroundings. There had been no change in the star pattern still overhead; no one had entered the round chamber.
