• Fernando: That might explain the power failures, captain.
• Fernando: The rare earth elements in the power cells don't play nice with existence instabilities.
• Nosh: Like Schrodinger's kitten.
• Taneel: How long do we have?
• Fernando: Maybe an hour, if Nosh doesn't hog all the oxygen.
• Nosh: My lungs have special needs!
• Taneel: And I was only two decades to retirement.
• Fernando: If only we had access to a nearby source of rare earth elements!
• Fernando: Then we could rebuild the power cells.
• Skitter: Hey guys! My weird mohawk thing is detecting a whole mess of lanthanides down on the planet.
  Are those anything like rare earth elements?
• Fernando: Those are exactly like rare earth elements!
  It's too bad the planet's atmosphere dissolves human flesh or we could go get them.
• Nosh: Yes. Too bad.
• Skitter: Terrible.

• Tales of the Drive
• Short stories set in the Drive universe.
