But the Rocket has to be many things, it must answer to a number of
different shapes in the dreams of those who touch it--in combat, in tunnel,
on paper--it must survive heresies shining, unconfoundable . . . and
heretics there will be [...] But these heretics will be sought and the
dominion of silence will enlarge as each one goes down . . . they will ALL
be sought out. Each will have his personal Rocket. Stored in its
target-seeker will be the heretic's EEG, the spikes and susurrations of
heartbeat, the ghost-blossomings of personal infrared, each Rocket will know
its intended and hunt him, ride him a green-doped and silent hound, through
our World, shining and pointed in the sky at his back, his guardian
executioner rushing in, RUSHING CLOSER. . . .
