Antiquated old times

Usage examples of elds.

Azard was not trained in the eld sciences, and had been given no information about the forces which maintained and restricted the elds in the cases.

The last six cases did not contain elds but something almost as valuable.

But the elds, the personalities, of over half of them had been preserved, in the eight cases Azard brought with him.

The elds of Malatlo could be transferred to such bodies and resume physical existence.

Azard planned to destroy his Federation aides within hours after the landing, then equip as many selected elds as would be required to handle the ship with their new bodies, and lift the ship back into space to search for another planet so far from the Federation that they could be sure it never would be found.

All that remained to be done was to give them consciousness—and the elds could handle that.

As he left the section, it was telling the thirty elds, listening now through the bodies' senses, what they must do.

The elds he had provided with bodies and information should soon be arming themselves and coming here.

The thirty elds he'd released had been a select group of superb fighters, and they must be searching the ship by now, in strong new bodies and with weapons in their hands.

The disembodied elds in the storage vaults, for whom there had been no room for normal existence on Tiurs, would come to life again in new bodies on new worlds.

But it could carry as many Raceel elds as there would be time to salvage.

Because there was now only one place where zombie bodies for the salvaged elds could be produced, and that place was the human Federation of the Hub.

The first forty-eight such attempts failed, and the Raceel elds involved also died before they could be detached again from the dying bodies which had absorbed them.

They must believe that if they wanted such information they could get it from the elds who were now in effect their prisoners, without giving anything in return.

But if they continued to let him talk, the released elds would have more time to find them here and destroy them.
