HOMER NARR2-PD/Ref@5498
"This means," Peter said when the
narrative ended, "that all we have to do
is go to the head of the valley. A
nunatak marks the place. The ice should
be thin enough to open there, and we can
walk down."
He called up the territorial map, which
bristled with peaks, small sharp edges
of rock, blades and points and shards of
black primeval stone drowned in the
infinite ice.
"Which one?" a woman asked softly.
Peter smiled. "Good question. I would
say this one." He touched an
insubstantial peak, the merest
projection of imaginary light, and of
course he was right.
