" "Uhmm-if they smash.those moons into Tett-el soon enough.Then we might move to some other planet-at least a lot of them could.Not ail-but a lot.Might save the race, at least.Before Teff-el is smashed, the Tefflans would kill the new colony."."The moons will move in fifty days, smash lett-el in sixty three.""The council says the population will be smaU^ enough to move into the warships in thirty at the present rate."XVI"THAT IDEA is interesting-you have a notion it acts something like the haemoglobin in the blood, then-carries combined nitrogen to oxygen, is freed of the nitrogen by the oxygen, and immediately goes back for more nitrogen in some way?"
