If there is one thing that man knows how to grow anywhere, it is myths.

Laurent Genefort
(Spire, Volume 2: What Divides)

A world is like a love conquest. We long to reach our surface. We take advantage of it, so much we are happy to have landed without too much breakage. We like to breathe our air. And in the end we run away from him, like a man in love that we no longer love.

Night fell on the Northern Hemisphere. A tiny skinned moon rolled low into the sky, making its way through a clutter of stars similar to tarnished brass nails. The second satellite, larger and pale, was to evolve nearby.

Seven pilots will be more than enough to complete the operation. How many do you need at least? Six. Our safety margin is now just one pilot. Enough as I told you.

The Chiles had at least one thing in common with humans: the fear of anything other than oneself.

Maneuvering to deprive new capital companies is a weapon as old as worlds. If we survive and grow, we must not be fooled: we will do the same with the competition to come.

For years, she spending more time in spaceports and ships than on land. Years of drinking recycled urine and breathing canned air, scouring cramped premises, following gruelling exercises against the ravages of weightlessness.

This environment gave off the threatening sensation that the walls could close and digest their contents at any moment. Vaulted like mine galleries, they offered the appearance of a stack of amber gelatinous cells encrusted with granules and covered with fibers, so that one felt like it was traveling inside a human organism.

"Isn't it beautiful?" exclaimed Jarid, standing in front of the bay of the living room open to the space. What is beautiful? palpitated Yasimin inlaid at the bottom of his vision. The Axis, of course. One of the ten wonders of the universe, according to the poets. (...) The Axis: a hollow cylinder thrown like a bridge between two twin worlds (...), 126,000 km long by 815 in diameter, while the walls do not exceed 6 meters in their thickest section. No one knew exactly what prompted the Vangks to build a diamond tube between two worlds. (A door on the ether, pages 189-190)
