“A bunch of rogue purists,” Jose says. “Don’t ask them about practical applications. It’s pure science they’re supposed to be doing. Though, of course, it was the same guys who discovered the algorithm that powered your boys Golovin and Brown out to the edge of nowhere. That was Palladio Peterson in the zebra stripes.” “They just stumbled onto it?” “Them and some guys over at teleport. For Peterson and his acolytes, the discovery was just a spooky phenomenon, of no earthly use. A delightful development in the interaction between energy and mass. But you didn’t come out here to visit the corpse-strewn battlefield of Jose Sandoval.”
